Book #1 of 2009...yay!

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer
(http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Dawn-Twilight-Saga-Book/dp/031606792X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231126181&sr=8-1)

Finally finished the Twilight series. My friend Diana said this book "sucked big donkey balls"...I have to say that I disagree with her. I thought it was much better than the 3rd one, where I got soooo sick of Bella having this whole martyr "everything is my fault" thing going on. It made me want to shake her like a crying baby. (Maybe I shouldn't continue to use that phrase as a soon-to-be mother?)

Anyhow, I liked the final book. I enjoyed reading the whole series. In my opinion, the first book was the strongest. The whole series was extremely addictive, and I could hardly wait to pick up the next one. I'm just happy that I waited to read it until after all four books were published...I would've hated waiting a year in between them!! ;)

Next book is just a quickie reading mystery, something fun and easy. Might fit in a couple of more like that before my next book club book.
