Where does the time go...
This wednesday is my last day of school, the kids got out last Wednesday on June 11th, so I have spent the last week getting ready to close down for the summer. When I am not running myself ragged at work, I have been reading this totally addictive series of books. One of our kindergarten teachers came in and dropped a book on my desk and says "You will read this in one night, then I will give you the second one." When I looked down I saw a book called "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer. I read, but not fast, and at 498 pages, I thought it would take me a few days to get through it. But as soon as I started to read it, I couldn't put it down. She was so right, I finished it in a day. I borrowed the second one "New Moon" and did the same thing. I am not sure what it is about these books, but I am hooked. I bought the third book "Eclipse" and went through it as fast as the first two. I realized after I read these, I had totally ignored humzoo, but I could not stop reading the books. The fourth one, "Breaking Dawn" comes out in August and "Twilight" has been made into a movie and will be out in December. I can't wait. I have been sucked into this world, and if you have read it, you might know what I am talking about.

Ames, I love David Sedaris. His new book just came out, When you are Engulfed in Flames.
K8, What is the series of books about? I am intrigued!
Betsy, it is about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. They are in high school, but it does not focus there. It is more mature and deeper than you would expect.
Betsy, the books are basically about a town in which both a vampire family and a group of werewolves live, but the townspeople don't know. It's an amazing series. I finished all three of them in one weekend.
