Pre-Midnight Release

I’m here!! And so excited to be here too! It’s the midnight release party for Stephenie Meyer’s fourth and final novel in the Twilight Saga. Fans around the world have been waiting for this one and Flroence is no exception. Already people are showing up in vampire costumes (some great, in keeping with the books, others more cheesy adaptations) even though the parties officially don’t start until 10 p.m. at Books-a-Milion and until 11 p.m. at Barnes and Noble.

Sadly dancing off the stage…

Well, blog readers, my days of watching So You Think You Can Dance are numbered. My favorite dancer, Mark, was voted off the show last night, despite my multiple calls to support him.

Twilight

For those of you who don’t know that I am an admitted bibliophile (there’s that pesky word of the day creeping in… it means book lover), now you do. That said, I recently ventured into the world of Stephenie Meyer, author of the the Twilight saga, a series of books the critics are hailing as the next Harry Potter.

Tapped Out

Well, as some of you might remember I posted a blog a couple weeks ago about my favorite show, So You Think You Can Dance. Well, that enamored post was written before the top 20 announcement on Thursday night.
