Morning Everyone!

Did you all have a great holiday weekend? We went and visited relatives and did some fishing. Was loads of fun.

My idea of heaven.

And what we did one of the days while on vacation.

I finished the Twilight series. Really enjoyed them(in case you couldn’t tell by the fact I read them straight through).  ;-)  Yes, I admit to liking them in 1st person and all. The other thing I liked was the level of depth on things. I’m fascinated by the amount of twists and connections and thought which must have gone into making sure all the little details jived.  That is something my mind always works on after I finish a story. It likes to make sure things were all ‘right’ so to speak. And so far, its not come up with anything forgotten or dropped. Interesting.  Obviously that is something that enthralls me and probably why I like mysteries. One thing I’m still trying to decide on is how the second book had a secondary character take over for most of it.  I like pov changes, so that’s not the issue. Its more that the second book swings so far off to allow the heroine to be in her depressed mood that I really wasn’t keen on things.  I found myself constantly thinking, ‘Alright already, we get it, you were depressed he left. Move on already.‘  On the other hand I realize this was a set up for how things were to be later. So I don’t know. I kind of think that second book could easily have been condensed. In any case, I was definitely bordering on bored for most of the second book. Overall the series was a definite hit for me and I’m looking forward to reading more by this author. I loved the ending and the action when it was going on and the depth of the characters.  As far as individual books go on a rating scale, I’d say the first book was my favorite.

Okay, well last week was all about reading and working on various things non-writing related. This week it’s going to be just the opposite–writing, writing, writing. I hope.

Have a good one!
