The Twilight Saga Collection — 

I was never a real "reader" until I was introduced to the Harry Potter series about 5 years ago.  After I got hooked on Harry Potter I have done just about everything I can to read and read.  So I have JK Rowling to thank for that because reading is awesome.  I had heard about the Twilight series because of the hype for the movie.  A friend of mine bought me the series and I have to say, this series is clever and you find yourself actually caring about the characters and what happens to them.  The author is very capable of spinning a beautiful web of suspense, and romance.  I actually fell for a few of the characters, cried along with them and rejoiced in their triumphs.  EXCELLENT BOOK

You were close so I'll give it to you. The answer was Debussy's Claire de Lune.

Sounds fun, if you are willing scoot me the most difficult question you think there is off the top of your head, and I promise I will answer it with the first answer that comes to my head and not do the whole internet thing and look it up LOL

Okay, so now I have a friend in Oregon and one in California who are both willing to play the game with me but there is just one problem: I'm on the East coast ;+( I told my sister I'm going to get my nephews to watch the movie with me and then we can all play the game. I read all the trivia questions to the game and was actually surprised at how many I got right. These weren't simple questions either.

This movie will definitely have to grow on me. I attended Twilight at Midnight to get the movie. If you want to see what that is all about just check out my review for Walmart. I told friends that I would probably see a different side of the movie once others started telling me what they really liked and bringing different scenes to my attention. It just wasn't the edge of the seat, can't turn your head movie that I thought it would be. It took an hour before I actually even settled down to finish watching it! But then again, I am more of a Hallmark and Lifetime movie girl! Sappy not scarey!

Well, I thought my prize pkg. was a hoax b/c I won a Twilight trivia quiz online. Just goes to show us that there still are good and honest strangers in the world. My prize pkg. included: all four books, the movie, the board game, 2 t-shirts, $25 gift card to Blockbuster and a poster. Now I just have to find some people who have watched the movie to play the game with me ;+)

I have seen the movie, as with most things the book is always better, however for a book to movie this one wasn't half bad. I pictured some of the characters a bit different, like I didn't think Laurent would be a jamican with dreads LOL and Jasper was a bit bug eyed. But i thought Bella was well cast.

Have you seen the movie? I have read all 4 books and watched the movie. Didn't care for the movie as much as the books. Breaking Dawn was my favorite. I recently won a Twilight extravaganza package. ~Gigi ♫
