It's very quiet here at the moment. My husband is at some Post Office meeting, and as it's half-term, my son is at his Granny's, and I am all alone (not quite sure how to indicate requisite spooky voice). And it just goes to show you how contrary human nature, or at least my version of it, is. Normally, when the opportunity to watch what I want on the telly, or sit and do nothing, or read, is about as likely as Accrington Stanley winning the FA cup - this year - I'd crawl over hot coals for just such a situation as I now have. Am I happy? No, I'm lonely. I miss my little boy like crazy tonight.
I'm part way through book four on my first re-read of the Twilight series. I will get my head round posting about them sooner or later. Actually perhaps now will do. The thing about them is that they give me what was, for me, lacking in Harry Potter, what I had to go to fanfic for with HP, romance. I love all the characters - there isn't one bum note. I'm not going to keep adding 'for me' or 'imo' at the end of each sentence - take that as read. I realise lots of people would disagree and think these books are rubbish but I LOVE them. Bella starts off as an incredible Mary Sue, and gets a bit like one in the very end as well ( here be spoilers ) This is the first anything that I have wanted to go back to the beginning and start reading again straight away, since I first read the then four Harry Potter books back in 2002. I actually made myself read two completely different books between Twilight 4 and starting the first one again - because I felt that to not do that was just too obsessive. I wish I could give intelligent commentary on the writing style, the plot and character development, etc etc. But all I can say is that I recommend them highly. And if anybody would like to tell me why they love them, I'd be happy to hear it.
The DVD came out here yesterday apparently. I looked in Asda for it this pm and it was sold out. I'm hoping a colleague of mine will lend me hers.
