Twilight Convention

In Nashville!! I would so love to go but things are so tight.  I would love to promote your business at the Convention

I have been wanting to go to a TwiCon since Twilight came out last year and since New Moon is fast approaching I'd like to go to one.  As an added bonus this will be my first novel/movie convention so you will get fresh eyes to gander at your products and ask me questions about them.

I've read the books twice and saw the movie in theaters along with having it on DVD, and the soundtrack that I listen to everytime I get in the car.  I also did a giveaway in the past that was Twilight related for a bracelet.

I'm sitting here looking at the packages for the Twilight Convention am hoping a few friends will want to join with me but if you have anything Twilight related I would LOVE to bring it with me, pass out business cards, or free samples that you may have laying around.

Reading Goals

First I was intrigued by all the women suggesting to read the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. I borrowed the four books from a friend and had them all read before the movie came out last fall. I reread them after I received them as a gift at Christmas.

At the sametime I also received The House of Night Series by P.C. and Kristin Cast. I had them all read within a month and there were five, I hope to get the sixth one when it comes out next month.

Lately I've been reading Nora Roberts The Circle Trilogy starting with Morrigan's Cross. SO far I like it. I'm on chapter seventeen and would LIKE to finish it before the weekend.

Then I've been hearing a lot about True Blood and Sookie Stackhouse. I had just watched two of the first episodes and was very intrigued. So my mom gifted me with four for Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels NOT starting with the first. I will have to find it so that I may read it from start to finish.

Just last week I watched Vampire Diaries and learned that it too is a book series by L Jane Smith, she is now on my to read list on GoodReads.com. I liked the first episode of Vampire Diares, Elena almost reminds me of a younger version of Eva Longoria and another actress but I can't put my finger on it. It will drive me crazy until I have figured it out.

Anyway Jennifer of Rundpinne sent me an invite to Good Reads and I've found a lot of books that I would like to read just by reading other's reviews.  Quite fun.  Makes me want to read as I've never been one for reading not even the books the teachers wanted us to read in school.

A New Series

My mother has given me a series of books called House of Night; Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed and Hunted.  I've just finished Marked and have started Betrayed.  So far I like them.  They are not gory nor are they up there in so called popular list.  P.C. Cast and her daughter Kristen have put a VERY different twist on the whole vampyre myth/legend, but from the first chapter they suck you in and you have been Marked.

Now whether or not you make it through the change you must make new of the life that is ahead of you.  Zoey Redbird was a normal sixteen year old high school student who never thought twice about it but also didn't want to take her geometery test the next day.  Of course she had friends and a family that obvisously had changed because of the man her mother married after her father died three years ago.

So all of that makes this Change so hard for her in the beginning because she just wants to be normal like everyone else in her new life.

So I've finished the last book in the series SO FAR.  There is a sixth book that will be published this October, I can't wait.  I also Can't for New Moon.  Jacob better be ready for a lot of screaming!  I hope the rest of you will be ready.
