This SAHM reads in her spare time (haha, like I have any)

Today, I thought we'd talk books!

Many give me a hard time for my choices when reading.

HI, MY NAME IS JULES...AND I AM A TWI-NERD!!

I love the Twilight Saga. I have read the books over 15 times each. Yes, I love the movies-Robert Pattinson is dreamy, but the books are so much better. I'm not a fan of how Hollywood changes the story for the movies. You know you are lucky when a book has the ability to take you into the text as if you are there with the characters.
I have had the pleasure of meeting several of the Twilight stars in person, get autographs and photos. Like I said previously-I take a lot of flack for liking Twilight but our community is not much different from Trekkies. I have been to Star Trek conventions also. Those fans are just as passionate.

Some of my recommendations:
I made it through the Hunger Games Trilogy. Mocking Jay was not what I would have expected but overall an enjoyable read.


Anyone who likes Twilight should check out The Blue Fire Saga by Scott Prussing. He has vampires, volkanes, humans, and much more. Mr. Prussing has other books on his page also. It is www.scottprussing.com  It is worth checking out!



We've also been known to read about serial killers (No, we are not weird-my daughter's passion is to become a profiler for the FBI)

Forget straight up romance novels..you know the kind with Fabio where his hair is blowing in the breeze and his shirt is open. I have never been able to make it through those.

-Jules..over and out!

  1. I love Twilight!♥ I've read all the books and own all the movies. We just started watching The Vampire Diaries on Netflix and I'm loving it; from what I understand though they are also books! I might just have to check those out.

  2. You know I am passionate about Twilight too, and I agree, Hollywood makeovers tend to suck. You also know that I am a Scott Prussing fan too! Thanks to that, Jules! And no one is going to get onto you here about being a twilight fan. For the record, our Pintrest Board, Everything Twighlight needs your attention. Ahem!

  3. Have you read any Ted Dekker? If you're into serial killers, you'd probably like him, and I think his writing is superb.
