While my head is reeling from the Monday Madness around here it's hard to grasp onto two singular thoughts. This week, though, I do have 2 thoughts really swimming around in my head.
Thought #1: I haven't read a book since I closed the coffee shop. I know it sounds hard to believe, but I think the last book I read was the DaVinci Code. I suppose the only read I read it was because I wanted to read the book before I saw the movie. I was very happy about both (that rarely happens BTW) Last week I started reading the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I finished books one and two by Tuesday. While I wait for books three and four to be borrowable, I found that I was so interested in the series that I actually read books 1 and 2 again.
I've never done that - read a book twice? Me? Totally out of character. I can't explain why I read them twice, but the second time around they were as good as the first time. Then, to my surprise, the Twilight movie played last night on Showtime... the movie sucked. I've heard that the second movie is much better, something about a new producer or director or something... Gosh I hope books 3 and 4 are good.
Thought #2: Why? Oh! Why? Can't Spring be here already? I want to start my garden, plant my flower beds, and bask in the warm glow of the sun. I'm ready to watch the daffodils and crocuses bloom. Today was a real teaser here. It started out gloomy - high winds and heavy rain - then the sun came out and I loved every brilliant minute of it. I think it got into the high sixty's or low seventies today -Truly gorgeous.
Happy Tuesday!

Oh, maybe once you’ve started your garden, you can post some pictures for us!
* I’m one of those who like my vampires bloodthirsty and incinerating under glare of the sun, so no comment on Twilight!
Comment by RandomizeMEHi, Trina –
My absolute favorite books I keep around to reread every few years … books like One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. I actually thought Angels and Demons (prequel to Da Vinci) was a better read. It’s noce and warm her in SoCal but they are predicting more rain.

Comment by BudLovely post! I haven’t read a book in ages – I think it was “First Among Sequels” by Jasper Fforde, but as soon as his new one comes out I’ll read it!
Spring? Seems ages since it was warm, but it won’t be long now…and then we’ll be complaining its too hot!! LOL
Cheers and clicks,

I agree…after my Twilight hysteria wore off, I realized the movie wasn’t as good as the book. Imagination is sometimes more fun than actually seeing it on film. Not only that, I think they probably could have picked a better director. But then again, the producers probably didn’t think it would get as popular as it did. I saw New Moon and it was much better directed than the first movie. It moved rather fast though. I think it’s because they were trying to fit as much of the story into the movie as they could. I don’t know how they can do Eclipse in one movie though. There’s just a lot more going on there than New Moon. I liked the Eclipse book the best. Bella still gets on my nerves though. Hahaha!
