Emailinterview: Shanella

“Emailinterview”… haha, well I just came up with that one- might be already used by many, but I JUST dropped it. Recently getting into reading more hardcore than ever- have a couple of lists I’m going to try to get through, see more on my “2011 Reading List“, also have a few more here and […]

Power Girls Don’t Cry

Just finished reading Kelly Cutrone’s: “If You Have To Cry Go Outside- and other things your mother never told you”- what an inspiring, to the point, empowering book- really. And no, I didn’t read this because I am a communications professional and ever considered working at People’s Rev– but because I’d heard it was about […]

BookPerk

New favorite “deals site”, BookPerk that @Shanella put me onto- very cool. It’s book deals- but they come with perks! … like the one I bought- “If You Have to Cry Go Outside…” Kelly Cutrone‘s book on a ton of things your mother never told you! Can’t wait to start reading it- just got it […]

Breaking Dawn, Done

There are few words to explain the way I’ve fallen in love with Twilight. I wouldn’t go as extreme to say I’m a “twihard” or that I’ll be knocking down the door for the first showing of Breaking Dawn part 1, but I will say that I finally understand the fascination that even adults have with the […]

Mercedes Guardian

So of course, Breaking Dawn started with a kick! Something I HAD to research before getting into the book. Edward had convinced Bella to get her the “before” car to keep her safe- what was referred to as the “Mercedes Guardian”. The first scene is Bella parked at a gas station, filling it up- convincing […]

Manning Up

Def my next read! Kudos to the great Kay Hymowitz, recently featured in the Wall Street Journal, “Where Have all the Good Men Gone”, in an adapted piece from her book “Manning Up: How the Rise of Women has Turned Men into Boys” – looks like an awesome read. Finally, the truth- I hope a lot […]

Eclipse

“Sleep, my Bella. Dream happy dreams. You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. Sleep, my only love.”- Edward. Eclipse was a bit of a rough start for me- Bella’s sudden dire need to want/need to be a vampire just wasn’t settling for me- it was odd- […]

New Moon

“Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.”- Bella I’ve neglected to mention that I worked through Twilight within 5 days, and quickly […]

It Begins…Twilight

100 pages in, in just 1 day and I can’t get enough. I knew this was going to be a problem (read why). This love story is to die for. The super well written and descriptive novel by Stephanie Meyer has already stolen my heart. HUGE difference between movie and book, as always- it never […]
