The Bright Side

is it january 18th, yet?

 

Susan Elizabeth Phillips is one of my favorite authors. She has a new book coming out, Call Me Irresistible, on January 18th, and I can't wait. Here is a little preview that arrived in my mailbox from Susan, herself.

 

Love her, love her books!!

Here's a little something for all of you closet TwiMoms out there (you know who you are), the just released, Death Cab for Cutie video, Meet Me on the Equinox. This song will be featured in the second movie of the popular Twilight series, New Moon. The movie opens on November 20th and the soundtrack is due out on October 20th.

My daughter, Chrissie, got me hooked on the books and we have really enjoyed sharing this interest. It took her forever to talk me into reading the first book. Vampires? Really? Thanks, but no thanks. But, after reading the first one, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the subsequent books. I read them in record time. For me, it is the relationships between the main characters that is the real story, not the whole vampire thing. Thanks to the Twilight series my daughter and I have had many great discussions about life, love, and loyalty that we have both enjoyed. Thanks Stephenie Meyer!

So, what do you think? Have you read the books? Are you looking forward to the movie? Wish the whole Twi-thing would just go away? Bonded with your daughter talking about it?
