I'm still plugging away with Leviathan. I haven't read much this week at all. However, I did see New Moon at the Thursday premiere and again yesterday. I absolutely LOVED it. So much better than Twilight. Taylor Lautner really surprised me. He was excellent. Although, I think I liked him a bit better before he cut his hair. I absolutely loved how they handled the three months where Bella is pretty much catatonic. For those of you who haven't seen it, I will not spoil it for you. But they did a great job with it. My only issue was the soundtrack, it seemed pretty non-existant! There were glorious overtures and the like, but the actual music that is on the soundtrack was pretty weak.
Okay, now to the crux of the post. Books I received this week! I actually did pretty well this week. Receiving all books from publishers.

Before I Fall has haunted me since I read it this summer. I can't wait for you to read it so we can discuss. Enjoy ALL those great books.
ReplyDeleteI loved New Moon too! Much more than I anticipated. I didn't notice the soundtrack, but then again, the midnight show had its own soundtrack of whispers, giggles, gasps, and commentary, so there were points I couldn't even hear the dialogue.
New Moon was definitely loads better than Twilight. And yes, I didn't really notice the soundtrack, unlike in Twilight (which had some awesome tracks in the soundtrack). I gotta say, though, Robert Pattinson really needs to improve his acting skills. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat book week for you! Hope you'll enjoy your books :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched New Moon yet - going to do it on Tuesday though!
Before I Fall was just amazing! If I see another post mentioning New Moon I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot.
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week!
ReplyDeleteI loved New Moon too! Though I agree about the soundtrack. I think I liked the movie Jacob more than the book Jacob, though!
Great list. Congrats on all your books. I haven't seen the movie so I can't say! :-)
ReplyDeleteHourglass for you too! :( I'd love to read it!
ReplyDeleteI just watched New Moon tonight! It was great. I much preferred Jacob with the hair cut and shirtless.... ;) And raining was good too. :)
I'd love to see it again but that probably won't happen.
Loved New Moon. LOVED IT! I did a full review on my blog...but I will say I am a die hard Edward fan. He's just my type. Taylor did well at the part, but I am not a Jacob fan.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you read Midnight Sun, you understand Rob Pattinson's acting of the part of Edward better. I think he does really well.
Great haul this week! I am waiting on a bunch of books, but didn't get any this week. Sigh.
