My Weekend

Lots of culinary activity...

~ food and drink ~ )

On the literary instead of culinary side of things, I finished The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger, which I'd gotten for my birthday. I thought it well written, the tone excellent, great bits of humor, the setting well made, the situations very believable. But the characters, overall, seem too "good". All faults are explained or mitigated or deeply apologized for and generously forgiven. I have no idea what the movie will be like.

Breaking Down "Breaking Dawn"

When on the same morning,  I read two different LJers posts that deal with a book I just finished last night, I have to do a post of my own. 

So, what did I think of the Twilight trilogy + 1?  Yes, Breaking Dawn is the fourth book, but my daughter (18) says she's going to think of it as a trilogy.  She and her friends loved the first three books enough to do the midnight madness thing, to buy the fourth book as soon as it was released.   They hate it.   One even returned it.
