As opposed to last year's Christmas vacation, I got a lot less reading (however a lot more scrapping) done this year. The two I managed to read are Twilight and Breakdown Lane. So let's talk about Twilight. I'd read about this one on multiple blogs and thought that there would be no way I'd like it since I don't generally read young adult novels and I definitely don't read anything about vampires. Ever. I really mean ever. Yet I loved this book. It was a lightweight, easy read. Well enough written that it didn't bother me the story was a perfect fit for my mood. I'd sort of hate to admit it, but I did really enjoy reading this book.

I picked up Breakdown Lane because when I absolutely hated Twelve times Blessed, Kim and Cheryl told me to read this one instead. And, man, they were right. I absolutely adored this book. It was depressing as shit. Really, really depressing. And I was so very sick so it only exacerbated my grief. But it was so much better written than the other book that it's hard to believe it was the same writer. The book left me with a lot of thoughts but that's for another day.

I've also read a few scrapping books but that's for another day. I really need some good fiction. Any ideas?
