wadenora says "I am hooked on the Cullens" about New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

wadenora — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 00:57:44 GMT

This sequel to Twilight by Stephanie Meyers was another amazing read. I didn't think that I would enjoy these books, but I wanted to read Twilight before seeing the movie with my teenage daughter. New Moon had a great plot and several unexpected twist and turns. I can't wait to read the 3rd book, Eclipse. ...

wadenora says "Best Products I've ever found!! " about BeautiControl Gold

wadenora — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 03:57:17 GMT

I was invited to a BeautiControl Spa Escape party, and instantly fell in love with the products.

I purchased the maintenance SkinLogics Gold Set... (they have their skin products based on age, 20's, 30's, 40's, and the newly 50's). It comes with a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. Within 2 days of use, my skin was better than I can ever remember. I no longer have trouble with acne, dry, or oily skin.

If you host a party then you can earn free products and additional discounts. Contact me and I will help you find a consultant in your area. email: n_wade @ charter.net

wadenora says "One of the greatest gifts I ever got" about TiVo - Digital Video Recorder

wadenora — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 03:09:02 GMT

Oops, I think this was actually a gift for my husband, but he lucked out because my daughter and I have taken over.

We have had this model for over 5 years. It is the greatest thing. I am no longer scheduling plans around my favorite shows or disappointed that I missed an episode. Now the shows are planned around my schedule.

My only regret is this: upon receiving the item as a christmas present we had to activate the service.... (Cheers to Tivo they were open on Christmas Day) and I was given 2 payment options.... $12.95 per month or $295.00 one time for life of machine. Due to a bad experience with a satelite system that broke soon after buying, I was reluctent to fork out the $295.00; however if I had I wouldn't still be forking out the monthly fee.

wadenora says "Will never buy another Dodge!" about Dodge 1500 - 2002

wadenora — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 02:44:00 GMT

We bought this truck used in 2004 with only 25,000 miles. I now has 100,000. We have had the front rotars replaced approximately every 20,000 miles. At the first sign of brake wear, we drove it directly to our mechanic, thinking each time that we'd only need to have the brake pads replaced. And each time we have been told that the brakes are too small for the truck. This has cost us a small fortune. Today's bill was over $800.00. Our next truck will be a Chevy!...

wadenora says "Surprisingly good for Adults" about Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

wadenora — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 02:29:45 GMT

All the teens were talking about this book, including my daughter. After being told that the book(s) were about vampires, I had absolutely no interest in reading it.

Then the teens were disappointed that the movie release was scheduled for the same day that we leave on a church retreat. Therefore, I agreed to take them to see it on the following Tuesday. So then I felt compelled to read it before seeing the movie.

I was hooked immediately, from the 1st chapter. I found both the plot and the characters to be captivating, enchanting, and mysterious. It truly was the best book that I had read in a long time.

Please don't discount this book as only being for teens, I guarantee that the adults will enjoy it too. And if you have a teen, it will be something that you will enjoy talking about together.

wadenora says "Pillars of the Earth was amazing" about The Pillars of the Earth

wadenora — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 18:36:00 GMT

Pillars of the Earth is a great read. I had a hard time putting this book down. The characters are captivating, and the author amazed me at how he was able to make them so relatable, due to the expanse of generations and centuries. ...

wadenora says "A Thousand Splendid Suns, was an eye opening read" about A Thousand Splendid Suns

wadenora — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 18:31:37 GMT

A thousand splendid suns was a page turner. Although, it was very different from most of the books that I normally read, I found it to be intriguing and a great read....
