I HA...Ugh, I can never read that or see the movie. I HATE tragic love stories. My husband loves to tease me about how much I hate Romeo and Juliet, even. But why do I want to read about people who DIE? Or end up miserable? Or in a depressing marriage? No, thank you.

I started reading Dear John and saw that ending coming; I haven't finished it yet.<br />The most recent book that grabbed me most was Summer (by Karen Kingsbury) There's a lot of emotion in that book. At one point I had to struggle to continue reading through my tear-filled eyes. Sometimes I just love mystery and adventure so Tess Gerritson and Clive Cussler provides me the entertainment I desire.Sarah and the Gentlemenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939815937836651261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-50582494210318835172010-01-18T16:11:25.285-05:002010-01-18T16:11:25.285-05:00I'm a big fan of Janet Evanovich's Stephan...I'm a big fan of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.

I also don't really get the Twilight thing. I've read 2 1/2 books and seen both movies, desperate for the bug to bite me, but I'm just not crazy about it. I don't hate them, but I just don't find them very memorable. And I don't find Edward remotely attractive. I'm team Jacob just because 1. he's obviously better looking (imo) and 2.
