The Secret Life of Bees

I finished my book yesterday. I really enjoyed it. The narrator is a young, fourteen year old girl. She is brave and triumphs through a lot of ills in her past that haunt her daily. She finds love and that makes the difference. We all just need to be loved! The book is being made into a movie, so that will be fun to see in the near future.
I decided to read New Moon next. The is the second book in the Twilight series. I know this series is all the craze, but I didn't love, love the first. Then I heard the second isn't as good, so I didn't think I would read anymore of them. However, I hear that after the second they get really, really good! My bff, Mal is really into them. She is hilarious about it. She's probably sporting a Team Edward shirt right now, wearing plastic vampire teeth in her mouth, and intensely reading her new book as I type. So, I thought it would be fun to get in on the excitement with her!
