go go gadget


As a lover of books- old and new

Their smell, the way they feel, even papercuts (joking)

I have to give the Kindle from Amazon my approval, not that it needed it.

It reads just like a book, but smaller.

Alan and I decided to invest in one since we are such active readers.

So for all you skeptics... it is amazing

I can't wait to take this on an airplane!

cullen vs black

with Breaking Dawn coming to a theatre near you...

I thought I would see if I found some fun Twilight themed geekery on Etsy.

I got my wish.

Aro's wedding gift to Bella

Jacob Black themed necklace

Red and  white chess pieces ala the book covers

This hysterical bookmark

And finally this "apple-hands pattern"


Twilight fans- I hope this appeases you till the summer

The Forgotten Pair


Peanut butter...jelly
Salt...Pepper
Romeo...Juliet

There are many combinations in the world but none so great as my all time favorite...

Books and Coffee

I have compiled a quick list of books that are some of my favorites.
I left out all the gimmes (Bible, LOTR, Anything C.S. Lewis, Harry Potter...duh)
Here are a few classics, some famous and some unknown.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
This is probably on of my all time favorites...
 I know its dark and depressing even at some points,
 but in the end Jane and Mr. Rochester are together!

The Wind Singer by William Nicholson
In a society filled with  rules, tests, and opression, two kids rescue their nation and restore freedom!

It's Kind Of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini
Suicidal teens checks himself into a hospital and is put into a temporary psych ward. He learns more from the people in there then he has in his whole life. He figures out he has a lot to live for, and he finds out he's an artist:)

Born Confused by Tanuja Desai Hidier
This young Indian woman trying to find her identity as an American/South Asia Indian, and her journey throughout NYC.

 Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer
Final installment for the Twilight series...I know this kind of counts as a gimme but it's just that good.

The 3 Big Questions of A Frantic Family by Patrick Lencioni
This is actually a P.C. recommendation, and I loved it. Fictional beginning with a nonfiction "how-to-apply-it-to-your-life" ending

She... by Kobi Yamada
Coffee table/display book...it's inspirational for women everywhere:)
...and cute as can be

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
