Yay! My books finally came on July 30th comapred to August 3rd when they said they would arrive, so horah for new and early books. I read Breaking Dawn first, and finished it within 2 days- though 700 pages isnt really that long i supose... Anyway, i was really looking forward to it, and from reading the 3 previous books in the Twilight saga i was hoping it would get better than the 2nd and definetly the 3rd book. Sadly my hopes were squashed *sad face* the book was full of plot holes and too much was going on, it seemed to me like Stephanie Meyer decided to cram all her Twilight ideas into one last book.
If i was to review this novel, i would give it 1/5. I am a member of a site called Goodreads.com and i came across a funny and very true review of Breaking Dawn, though it does contain spoilers.

Also i have been a bit blonde (yet again!) when i ordered the three books i didn't properly read the descriptions. So when i opened my amazon package last week, imagine my suprise when i found The city of ember but for school children, adapted from the film with pictures from the film...
So there i was slightly annoyed at myself and amazon saying "I didn't order this!" to which my sister replied "Go check your amazon order online". So i checked it, then realised i had not looked at the description of the book, but instead looked at the book cover *head to desk*.
So i had to return it, and now i cant be bothered to re-order it. But i bought another book the day after when i went shopping with my sister to meadowhall, The girl with the dragon tatoo which i have started reading yesterday, and so far its rather good. Im on page 55 at the moment and it feels like the writing style of Dan Brown. Or am i too observant?! Hehe
As you can see i have updated some bits of the blog :) I didnt really like my old twitter status thing on my sidebar, i thought it looked ugly, so i was surfing twitter yesterday and found this nifty thing. But it needs flash or something to be seen, so if you cannot see the twitter status thingy please tell me then i will change it to the HTML one :)
OMG OMG OMG! Have you been watching True Blood? Its only just came out in England, but i have been watching it online (Naughty naughty!) so im on season 2 episode 7 (i think?) i think the gay guy in the kitchen is my fave character especially in season 1, but in season 2 i feel so sorry for him. I didnt realise it was a book until yesterday when i was on goodreads and saw a topic about the Sookie Stackhouse book series.
Also only 42 days till i move into the new flat and back to uni!
Much love
Nic
