You may remember my post about ordering the entire Twilight series in hardback for about $8.00. The UPS guy just dropped it on my doorstep. I’ll probably not get to all the books until 2009, but I may just have to squeeze Twilight in this year

Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card

I just finished Ender’s Game, so I’ll be reading this one soon. My son feels I should read Speaker for the Dead first, but I don’t know if I can fit both of them into the schedule right now.

Movie Adaptation of The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
Movie Adaptation of The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

I had these two movies on my wishlist at swapadvd for a full year, and I finally got them. Yay! I haven’t read The Moonstone yet, so I may hold off viewing that one until I’ve read the book, but I can’t wait to watch The Woman in White I could have gotten them at Netflix, but I prefer to own and keep classics.

I’m such a lucky girl…

I received Tomato Girl from the author — thanks Jayne!  I hope to read your book very soon.

I will be reviewing Somebody Else’s Daughter for TLC Book Tours in mid-November.

I won At a Loss for Words from Sandra at Fresh Ink Books.

I also won The Entropy of Aaron Rosclatt from John at the Book Mine Set.

And, I received this lovely origami bird from Bellezza.

Thanks to all of you!
