Quadrology

Following on from my last post regarding the books that Stephenie Meyer has written about Vampires, the first of which was a Christmas gift to me this year, I have discovered that there are three more!

I devoured the first book finding myself almost obsessed with the hero of the story and while on holiday last week managed to procure the remaining three! I had thought it was a trilogy however found the third, in hardback, hiding in a stack of books yet to be displayed, and hastily made my way to the till with it!

I have now read the first three, Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse, the last of which I finished at 12.45am this morning. It had one of those last thirds that grips you all the way and had to be finished before I gave in to sleep.

The fourth and final book, Breaking Dawn, is sitting beside my bed waiting for me. I am holding off a little. I have read through them so quickly I am not in a hurry now for it to be over.

I am not going to review them here as I do not want to give too much away. I am no book reviewer and know I would say too much! But...if your interest is piqued then I highly recommend them. They have been a gripping but easy escape and I am ever grateful to my sister, and nephew, for their thoughtful gift that has provided me with a series of books I will always remember.

    Reading is such a great pastime. You can escape any situation in a book. Even nicer if you escape your situation and enter the authors.
    I love books like this.
    Glad you are having pleasure.

    Hello,

    Asked the indian if he had any words of wisdom for you.
    he said " Certain things catch your eye,
    But pursue only those
    that capture your heart''

    Good holiday?

    peace
    T-bone

    Hey Tom! Well I have completed the lot now, I did think of calling the post Ravenous! I hope Jane finds she has a similar appetite! :0)

    Hey Bowledover! I miss the people in the book...well people isn't quite the right word in this case! Macs Niece is borrowing them but if you would like a read after please say.

    Hey T-Bone, fine words of wisdom, really fine! Excellent holiday, will tell all when we speak/ email next.

Camera Critters #4 - Buzzard

Image
I grabbed this shot one day on our camping trip. The buzzard was a regular visitor to the field and had just delighted me with a close fly over. He hovered over my head for ages and I allowed myself the pleasure of just watching before I decided it was worth a mad dash for my camera and a quick lens change. My big lens takes better shots from the tripod as the small movements of my hand and breathing make for blurred images but I was pleased to be able to get this anyway.

Treasure

I found out yesterday that Joni over at My Piece of Heaven has closed her blog. She runs a farm with her husband and also works as a medical transcriber. Apparently Joni is increasing her hours at work and she has decided that with the extra work and the farm to run she won't be able to fit blogging in, at least not to the standard that she wishes to. I completely understand but I am sad that I won't be able to visit her blog anymore. Joni posted everyday and displayed amazing photos of the beautiful and varied wildlife in her part of the world, including her new puppy Cooper! I am really happy that things are going well for Joni but I am sorry that I did not get a chance to tell her how much I valued her and her blog before she went. It's a funny thing this virtual socialising, connections are made between people. There are a few blogs that I visit that really mean a lot to me, I get a great deal of joy out of visiting them and corresponding with the author. They may not k...

Creative Tuesdays #3 - Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore

Image
The current theme for Creative Tuesdays is 'Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore' with the brief being to create a scene conveying that you are no longer in quiet and comfortable surroundings. I decided after much deliberation to utilise the film the theme title is taken from and have produced this. Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My. The Wizard of Oz was a very significant film in my childhood and my sister and I watched it every year, often from behind a pillow. I don't know if anyone remembers but a few years ago they used the Wicked Witch of the West in a series of adverts and she still scares me! So I decided to let myself get lost in remembering the film and all of the images and feelings that came to mind. The line 'lions and tigers and bears oh my' kept popping into my head and as such this piece was born. I imagine anyone would feel they were no longer in quiet and comfortable surroundings if they walked into a wooded glade and...
