Went shopping with mummy today and we took a little trip to my favourite shop in the world: Waterstones! It is pretty pricey but it has everything, and is therefore worth it.
Anyway, whilst there, we saw some pretty interesting books that I have to buy.
The first, was called "New Moan", the first book in the Twishite Saga, written by Stephfordy Mayo (no, I'm not making this up, I swear). It sounds hilarious, and with characters called Heffa Lump and Teddy Kelledy (Bella and Edward) and lines like "I want to bite you Heffa, I want to bite you very hard. I'll be gentle, I promise. If you really loved me, you'd let me", it sounds like a must read. It also got me thinking about the Twilight phenomonen. I'd be a liar if I said I didn't love the Twilight books, but the more times I read them, the more I come to realise that the books are really poorly written. Bella is the most irritating character in fiction to date, and I know we're meant to empathise with her and love her oddities and awkwardness, but, seriously Stephanie Meyer, what were you thinking?!?!? She is a class A twit! I think the attraction to the Twilight Saga is undoubtedly the characters of Edward Cullen and Jacob Black. Even though Edward if a possessive, blood sucking fiend, I still want one, and that attraction to him is what makes Stephanie Meyer a lot of money.
The second book I cam across which interested me was entitled "LOVE" and basically was a collection of spur-of-the-moment photos depicting love in its many forms. I just thought it was really beautiful, and there were some stunning images in them. I especially loved the images of older couples, still very much in love. We are so arrogant in our plight to stay young, that we forget that the greatest gift of all is being able to grow old with the person you love most.
The third book was a big guide to Mythology. I wanna become an expert on Greek mythology, so thats the book I chose to buy.... but fear not, I will soon add "New Moan" to my library.
