Breaking Dawn


I have finally finished...


Am I allowed to be disappointed in the final book of the Twilight series? I'm not sure if it is because of end-of-term-i-tis or the 'fantasy' genre finally got to me...but I have to say - I didn't actually like the final book.


Well...I did like from p530 to about p672. I hated everything before and I hated the ending...hugely disappointed!


However...on the good front...the second Twilight movie is due out very soon. I've seen the preview and it looks SSSSOOOOOOOOOOO GGOOOOOOOOOOOOODDD!!!!

Still alive...

Just letting you know that I am still alive.

I am currently reading Breaking Dawn (last book of the Twilight series). It is obviously not as addictive as the first three books...taking me awhile to get through it.

I don't like it actually...hopefully it gets better.

Limestone

My friend and colleague, Jenny, lent me Limestone (written by Fiona Farrell). What a great read! I was a little disappointed about the ending...it seemed to finish really quickly.

Anyway, Fiona Farrell is a relatively new author, who was born and raised in Oamaru (only 20 minutes from Waimate!).

The story is about Clare Lacey, who is on a quest. In Ireland to attend an Art History conference, she sets out to find her father who walked out one day to buy a pack of cigarettes when she was a child, and disappeared. She is urged on her way by chance encounters: with a woman in a high tower, a blind man at a crossroads, a couple of rotund earthlings, a singer whose song she does not understand . . . Clues lie all around on a labyrinth of walls - but the final clue lies deep within.

A definite MUST-READ!
Have already started the fourth book in the Twilight series....
