Breaking Dawn- no spoilers

I have to say that I'm relieved to find that others are as disappointed with the plotline of the last Twilight book as I am. Though I still have 200 pages to go, I'm finding it difficult to actually finish. The whole storyline seems so contrived compared to the other novels in the series! Does anyone else see this?

Great Giveaways!

It's the last day, but I found great giveaways at the 5 Minutes sites today. What a cool place! You need to visit even if you don't enter the contests. Great stuff for teachers and moms!

Food and Books

Okay, while continuing to devour BREAKING DAWN, I am obsessed with The Pioneer Woman. You have to check out her website and her amazing August challenge for recipes with dairy. See it here. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/08/august-is-gonna-be-fun/?cp=4#comment-66769
I just entered a recipe that I made up the other night since I have so much zucchini and so many tomatoes! Check it out- I'm number #1338 and #1339 (since I must have deleted the zucchini from the list of ingredients when I was typing...). You also have to check out PW's Love Story she wrote in installments called: "From Black Heels to Tractor Wheels". It's the story of how she met and fell in love with her husband. Well written, too!

So, all I have to say about the new TWILIGHT book is that after the first 400 pages I am truly disapppointed that the whole story has become so far fetched. I guess I expected more, but I will wait until I finish and I will read the reviews of others to see if hard core fans feel the same way.
