However I was interested before I knew how old they were. I am always curious about people doing the same thing but feeling differently about it. I think that even though all of us "intellectuals" want to be totally unaffected by material things, some accessories make you feel good. Sometimes a very expensive accessory is the springboard for all kinds of things. After all most action is driven by your state of mind.

I posted my review this morning; I didn't love it, but I stuck through until the last page. I liked the concept of what the women were doing (when they pulled together to use it to raise money for local causes), but didn't like the author's style - too much emphasis on the physical appearance and indulgences of the women.

Sure enough, I LOVED the books (aside from book 2, which was good, but a little dull in comparison). Anyway. Just yesterday I finished book 4, "Breaking Dawn". So, yeah -- the series was awesome! Hope you like "Twilight"! ;) I read “Twilight”, as well as “New Moon”, and “Eclipse”, all in August… and that was after I was convinced by some friends that, even if I didn’t like “vampire” books, I’d still like this series.

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:42:20 +0000 http://www.devourerofbooks.com/?p=372#comment-1609 I would LOVE to read the Necklace! It sounds really interesting to me. I tend to love the chic-lit type books, and love to learn about characters and how they tranform throughout the story. Please consider me for this book!!! I do tend to put on a nice necklace when I want to feel special, although mine is a nice strand of graduated pearls from my grandmother (preffered) or the small diamond pendent from my hubby. I tend to wear the diamond (very small ;) ) for day-to-day, and the pearls for special occasions because they have a family history. I've recently started reviewing books on my blog and would love to read/review this one: http://wendisbookcorner.blogspot.com (PS - if you have any suggestions on my blog - please teach me!!)

I dont have a good reason for wanting to read the necklace except that it sounds incredibly fascinating. hehe.. i am nearly done with Twilight right now.

I have been involved in many, many group ventures with women and I have to tell you, there is always such DRAMA where women friends are concerned. I mean, we are not 20 somethings anymore and we should know better, but we are always drawn to the drama of women friendships. I'd be interested in seeing how this works for this group of women. It's an interesting idea if it works. I’ll tell you why I’d like to read The Necklace..

Twilight may not end up being your cup of tea but it's good news that you're reading something not on your TBR Pile. In August I managed to read Twilight and New Moon.
