Hehe, I never thought I would pick a team, but I do like Jacob so much better! Edward wasn't as bad in book 3 though, I'll give him that. I finished book 3 a day or two ago. I gave the first two books 2 stars, but I gave the third book 3 stars.

I started The Spook's Tale: And Other Horrors from The Last Apprentice / Wardstone Chronicles series. It's a very quick book. I just read a bit while I was waiting for my mother in the car yesterday, and I'm already a quarter of the way through. It's a kids/teen series, but I've really been enjoying it.

My partner flipped through the World of Warcraft cookbook, and he still wants to buy it. He didn't care about the Bob's Burgers cookbook as much.

Thank goodness we went to the library yesterday. I don't think they would have held my stuff any longer, and now all the libraries are closed due to snow too!

The library was closed two days in a row due to snow! I had to return my Sense and Sensibility DVD without watching it. Usually it's a 3 week loan, but it was only one week this time, and I couldn't renew it because someone had a hold on it. That was odd because another library had it in. And they're supposed to take any copy that's in and ship it wherever it needs to go rather than making someone who already has it not be able to renew theirs. AND someone had a copy out that was overdue. AND someone else had a copy that wasn't due for 10 days, so they got theirs longer than I got mine. So it didn't make sense all around! Not like it's a big deal. I mean, I can (and will) just get it again. It was just unusual, and always feel bad making them ship things to me again, but I guess if they don't care then I shouldn't!

Library yoga starts April 1st!

Alice: I should be able to get it again pretty quick. I think I will put it on hold next week.

Moving: Welcome!

I finished watching New Moon on DVD. Then I watched Eclipse. I was able to find it on tv and DVR it, and I was sick in bed most of yesterday, so that worked out well. I finished reading The Spook's Tale: And Other Horrors. I started reading Oliver Caine's In Trouble Again.

I am reading the series for the first time now. And I'm watching the movies right after I read each book so that I can compare the two.

I have read the books after I saw the first movie in the cinema.. So thats a while ago xD I still have the books..

Do you watch the movie always after reading the books?
I can't stand it.. The movie is always so different.. I will be annoying the whole film
I'm like "in the book it happens different" "I miss a person" and that kind of stuff xD

I usually watch the movie first then read the book second. That way it doesn't annoy me if the movie is different from the book! So I'm doing it backwards with Twilight. But I'm not crazy about the series anyway, so it doesn't bug me if anything is changed, and the movies are also more faithful to the books than I was expecting them to be.

Twilight indeed didn't changed that much..
and if you are not crazy about it you will accept more I think..
I will watch it if its on tv.. but don't think I will reread the books

The one time the movie really upset was the beautiful creatures!
I saw the movie one day after the book..
