So I've been catching up on reading lately and here are some of the latest books I've finished...
New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
My husband and I finally got around to watching Twilight and now I completely understand the frenzy about this series. The movie was enchanting and the actors were truly captivating. I couldn't help travel to Barnes and Noble the next day and buy the remaining 3 books. New Moon was read in 2 nights - I just couldn't put it down so you can imagine my excitement for the movie release in October. I've always been a Romeo and Juliet fan from the early 1968 production and the the 1996 production, so the familiar plot of forbidden love is what kept me hooked.
I didn't move through this book as quickly as New Moon, but once I finally finished, I have to admit it was pretty good. Definitely worth reading, just not the most captivating-can't-put-it-down read. There's a lot of focus on fashion which I love along with the familiar status fight of a young single woman in New York Society.
I just love the style Jonathan Adler so this book help me understand his style, tastes, lifestyle and background. It's written with whimsy and a little humor with fabulous photography and product features.
A wonderful glossary of decorating styles, furniture silhouettes and eras.Love this style!
I love Domino too!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I absolutely loved NEW MOON!!! I read the whole series and can't wait until the movie is out! I also love Domino!!
ReplyDeleteOh Domino is my favorite! Good reads here! :) XOXO
ReplyDeleteOh that Domino book is just so charming...and I adore the 1968 Romeo and Juliet. I always remember my mother liking it because it was the first rendition that had actors of the appropriate age.
ReplyDeleteI watched "Twilight" for the first time on Saturday evening. Wow, that Edward Cullen... Since I'm not a tween girl, nor are my children tweens, I had not yet jumped on the "Twilight" bandwagon. But, just like you, I can now see what all the fuss is about!
