Little Women

I just finished this book last night and have to say it is one of the best books I have ever read. Little Women is a book I could definitely pick up again to reread. Before reading the book I had only seen the most recent movie of Little Women with Ms. Ryder in it. How deceived I was on how the movie depicted each character. In the movie, I felt heartbroken by Jo and Laurie's separation and despised Amy for stealing him. In the book I loved each character and each love story as well. This is one I would like each of my girls at the appropriate age to read. Some of my favorite quotes:
...for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty.
Have regular hours for work and play, make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well....a kiss for a blow is always best...
There are many wonderful finds in this book and the poetry is beautiful. Truly uplifting. If you haven't already enjoyed this book have it be the next book you read.

Twilight
I just finished the Twilight series this morning. In all I have to say I liked it. As I read, like in most books I have read, there were times of frustration with certain characters especially the main character in this book. She bugged me at times but there is usually one of those types for me in any book I read. So now that I am done I allowed myself to watch the trailer for the movie. I had to wait till I was done otherwise watching it may have ruined the faces of the characters I had already in my head. I enjoy my imagination more than Hollywood's. So here is a trailer, I don't know if it is official. It was the best one I saw on YouTube, so I hope you enjoy. This will be one to look forward to in December and before that the new book in August.
