WHAT WILL YOU DO AFTER BREAKING DAWN? END OF THE TWILIGHT ERA

   Do you remember where you were when you first read these words " I'd never given much thought to how I would die"? I know where I was and I know what I was doing ever since. Twilight has been a large part of our lives over the years. Along side some of the great stories out there that have swallowed us up Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Although these books are not in the same league with each other they have played a major part in our lives. Twilight it self has spawned a following of fans that are the most loyal and probably the most crazy out there. But what I am wondering now is what will happened to all the Twihards, TwiMoms, and even the TwiDads & Twiguys out there after the last movie is released in November?    We have all read the books more than once. I myself have read the series over twenty times and at each time I wish that it would never end. But sadly it did end and when I finished reading the books, I at least have the knowledge that the th

ARE YOU A "HOST"?

   So what do you get when you cross the 1993 movie Body Snatchers with Twilight? Give up? You get Stephenie Meyers smash hit The Host.  The Host is about a post colonized earth, where humans are implanted with a parasitic alien life form that erases the human personality and almost instantly takes our their bodies, making it their own. But the book isn't just about aliens seemingly wiping out the human population no its also about the friendship between a parasite (Wanderer) and her host (Melanie). The book gradually guides us through their friendship, and eventually how Wanderer who is later called Wanda in the book and Melanie grow to love each other and how Wanderer grows to love Melanie's family while leaving her own behind.     First of all let me put this out there I am a big fan of the book. I think the story is great as it goes and the ethical and philosophical issues that the characters deal with are ones that make you think. But lets get a run down of this book.

DIARY OF A MAD FAT WOMAN

  We've all been told its better to be skinny than it is to be fat. People who are larger in size have a lot of problems that comes with them being fat. You not only have to deal with how the public views you, you also have to deal with the health problems, and also the cost. Yes the cost! Having to by more food than a normal size person, having to pay for and extra sit a board an airplane, and also having to pay more for clothes. Why is it that in this economy people who are above a certain size have to pay more for the little things in life? Well the answer to that question is because we are large.   I've always been a size 12, until recently I gave birth nine months ago and went from a size 12 to something between a size 16 and a size 18. Never did I ever thought I would get this big, but carrying a child changes your body a lot. I've been asked so many times when I was going to take the weight off? As it was something you can do over night. I've been told by my

New Spanish Edition of Throw It Back (A Very Short Pirate Story)

Exciting news!!! Available today on Amazon.com, author Shamara S. Davis has just published her hit short story  Throw it Back (A very short pirate story)  in Spanish. The Spanish edition of the story went on sale today on Amazon's website where you can find the English version. The young author decided to publish a Spanish edition of her short story to gain a larger audience and to introduce herself to Spanish readers. When questioned Mrs. Davis had this to say about the release. "A writer shouldn't be limited to the language they were born with. If you feel that you have written something great or even remotely interesting and would like to share it with the world then by all means translate your work and see what a new audience has to say about it." Mrs. Davis who is currently working on her third book to her series The Adventures of Marco and Carla , is pining over when to release the second book. When asked about the  hesitation this is what she said
