fiction

these are the books i recently read.

i finally finished the third in the twilight series eclipse. i was so reluctant to read them since i didn't like the first book. it made me gag,

but since the introduction of jacob. i am sooo a fan! i'm probably gonna get hate mail for this, but i like the werewolf.

there i said it. of course i haven't read the fourth book yet, so i have the option of changing my mind.

He frowned and shook his head. "They love an image...."

...She'd forgotten what he was talking about. Oh-everyone being in love with an image of you...

....If Los Angeles is a woman reclining billboard model and the San Fernando Valley is her teenybopper sister, then New York is their cousin. Her hair is dyed autumn red or aubergine or Egyptian henna, depending on her mood...
