Happy Birthday Betty White!
Today is Betty White's 90th birthday!!!!! Happy Birthday Betty! You are an inspiration to us all, not just because you seem to always be happy and in an amazing mood, but because of all you do with the animals too!! I watched your 90th birthday bash on tv and saw your new show that will be coming on in the spring. I loved them both! It was so nice to see you, Ed Asner, Carroll Burnett, and Mary Tyler Moore all in the same room!! Too bad they don't make shows like they used to! (Hot in Cleveland is, of course, the exception!) And I can't wait for more of Off Their Rockers! I laughed through the whole show! I'd love to see it in person, although that is highly unlikely to happen. Ha! Anyway...I could go on and on about you and your career and your personality and your care for animals..........but then you'd just get bored! So once again...Happy 90th Birthday and I can't wait to see how they top that bash with your upcoming 100th!
Oh..and since this is a blog about books...I just finished Thriller. Good book! It had some boring moments, but I got by those pretty quick! The last story in the book was really good! It had me on the edge of my seat. The ITW really knows how to end a novel! I would recommend it!

Has It Really Been That Long?
Anyway, I'll tell you the previous book I just finished and the book I'm reading now. I just finished Dashing Through the Snow by Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark. As usual, it was amazing! I do love their Christmas stories! I can't wait to read the ones I haven't bought yet!
The book I'm reading now is Thriller by various authors and edited by James Patterson. It is made up of short stories from many authors who are in the International Thriller Writers, Inc. As their websites states "ITW represents professional thriller authors from around the world [and] ITW membership includes over 1,300 authors in twenty-two countries." To learn more about them visit http://thrillerwriters.org/. It's really a good novel because you get to discover new authors you may have never heard of before. Another reason I like this novel is because even if I'm not to fond of the story or the author's writing style, I know another author with a different story will be appearing soon. I have already bought the sequel Thriller 2 and I can't wait to start it! Another book I can't wait to begin is Inheritance by Christopher Paolini. This novel is 4th and last in the series. What will happen?! I'm so excited! So goodbye till next time and enjoy reading! I know I will!

Twilight - the Movie
Something that really bothered me about the movie is the make-up on the Cullens. I know they are vampires, but seriously! They couldn't have made them any more white. It was just too much. And what's up with Bella? She isn't a vampire in this movie. Can't they give her some color? Seriously! You really couldn't tell who was a vampire and who wasn't.
I've read and heard a lot of people talk about the acting and how much they disliked it. What was wrong with the acting? I liked all the actors and actresses. A lot of people came down hard on Robert Pattinson. I don't see why. I mean, think about it. He's playing a vampire who has to act human. That's probably not the easiest part to play. So in my own view, Robert as well as all the others did a perfectly good job.
I'd have to watch the movie again to find out what else they missed that I thought needed to be there. It's been probably over a month since I've seen this and can't remember all that was missing. I do know that I talked for quite some time about everything that should have been done but wasn't. So, if I get to watch this again soon, I will put a continuation post.
I do have to say though that if you have not read the book / series, then the movie was pretty good. I am now looking forward (somewhat) to the movie version of New Moon. We'll have to wait and see if the movie goes as slow as the book. The next movie I'll be reviewing will be the new Harry Potter. I can't wait for that!
