When you don't like a book...

So where have I been? Avoiding the truth. I don't like our May book pick, A Thousand Splendid Suns. I started listening to it on CD and I just could not get into it. I dreaded the thought of continuing on. And then the second book in the Twilight series came in and I HAD to listen to it.

So there it is. I didn't read the May book club pick. I do believe Victoria is a little miffed. (I'm going to have her blog about why she did like it! Many many people loved it!) But come on! Hasn't that ever happened to you? You hated the book club pick, didn't read it, and just showed up at the meeting for the snacks and gossip?

So for June, Victoria suggested we read Twilight. (easy for me since I already did!) And interesting for you, because it's coming out as a movie in December, and the final book in the four book series comes out this summer. Check out www.stepheniemeyer.com for more info on the book, the series and the movie.

I'm really curious to hear what readers think. This is considered a Young Adult book, but she has sold 5.5 million copies worldwide of the first book, Twilight. But she does have some very outspoken critics who don't like it, don't think it's well written etc. So, we'll have lots to discuss.
