6. New Moon

I just finished the second book in the series. I have to admit, "New Moon" wasn't as good as the first one. In fact, I was a tad disappointed in the direction and focus that this one took. But I suppose it was necessary for the plot development and setup for future installments.

Funny thing happened yesterday, that I thought I should mention for the sake of remembering. I was on the bus coming home from school at night, standing and reading (not an easy feat). A guy sitting, looked up to see the spine of the book and suddenly exclaimed, "That's a really good book". I was taken aback and I think I stared at him stupidly for half a second with that "you talkin' to me?" expression. Then we got into a conversation about the books and how good the first one was and how disappointing (slightly) the second one was, and he said the third one was definitely the best. Then we talked about the movie coming out and how wrong the casting for the main character was, etc... Then he told me what he was currently reading, but I can't for the life of me remember. He did mention it was going to be a movie. Sigh--books being turned into movies, that's a whole other rant! Then he had to get off.

I love talking about books with people! I love being able to express my thoughts and hear other people's opinions while reveling in our shared passion. That's why I've always wanted to join a book club--too bad I don't have the time. Someday.

And yes, he was cute. ;)

Okay, I'm going to go read the third one!! I can't wait!!
