Finally!

 I have finally read the Twilight Saga.  I made the mistake of lending someone the first book and never got it back.  I finally gave up and bought 'Twilight' at a book sale and had all four books read in no time.
I enjoyed reading them, although I found parts dragged on a bit.  I prefer reading a series all at once as I find I forget what happened in the previous book if there is too big a time lapse in between.
I'm glad I read them, and for the most part, really enjoyed all four books.  I don't think I have to give a blow by blow of each book because, by now, I think just about every man and his dog has read them, or seen the movies.

 Love in a Nutshell by Janet Evanovich & Dorien Kelly
This was a bit of light summer reading.  Very predictable but fun. 
Kate Appleton needs a job.  Her husband has left her, she's been fired as a magazine editor, and she's got nothing left but the Nutshell-her parents summer house in Keene's Harbor, Michigan. Kate hopes to turn the Nutshell into a bed and breakfast.  Problem is, she needs cash, and the only job she can find involves beer and espionage.  Matt Culhane wants Kate to spy on his brewery employees.  Someone has been sabotaging his company, and if Kate finds the culprit, Matt will pay her a $20,000 bonus.  Unfortunately, Kate despises beer, her co-workers don't trust her-and she's falling hard for her boss.  Can these two smoke out a saboteur, save Kate's B&B, and keep a killer from closing in-all while resisting their undeniable attraction to one another?

The Italian Wedding by Nick Pellegino
