the beauty of a quiet afternoon...

I don't know how to explain the feeling I get when I am in the middle of a good book. It's almost anxiousness and excitement all mixed into anticipation for what is to come. In these moments there is nothing like a quiet afternoon that can bring me more joy...today I was more listening to a book than reading but I found the perfect place to engross myself in the adventure that awaited me. haha. An afternoon well spent in my mind :)

i took the bait...and now i'm hooked

What can I say, I was probably the most hesitant person I know when it came to the Twilight series. I've heard so much about it, but really had no draw to it...no desire to even explore the words that swarmed with adventure and romance. I don't know if it was the whole vampire/werewolves thing that turned me off, or the fact that it was the trend (yes i am one of those.) In any case, I went to the movie on monday and needless to say I left completely intrigued. I went and bought the first two books of the set right after the movie. I read Twilight in a day and a half. New Moon was read in one night (starting at 10pm and staying up till 6am.) I was able to by the last two books friday, had Eclipse read by saturday morning and I am now about half way through Breaking Dawn. I am doing my best to pace myself because, it's funny to say, but I am not quite ready for their stories to end.

If you were at all a bit apprehensive of this series, go see the movie...if it intrigues you in the least the books will draw you in and you won't want to stop turning the pages.

Falling for Fall: Day 4

Two of the many things I love about fall...One being the above picture! I love fall nights, walking around under the city lights. Talking and taking in the cool crisp air. Sharing the season with someone you hold dear. The moments could last forever in my mind, as if they weren't measured by time. And Two: being that way you can put on a big old sweatshirt and curl up by the fireplace to read a good book. I just got done reading "Always a Bridesmaid," which kind of reminded me of the movie 27 Dresses in a certain way. The weather made it all the more enjoyable :)
