In an effort to read some of the books I have piling up, I pulled the Twilight books that have been sitting there for 4 years. I am 1/2 way through the first, and am finding it dreadfully boring. I am debating continuing the series after I finish the first. I am not seeing the appeal of why it was so popular!Theresa Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709965543595065306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-87460511328562066142015-06-13T02:39:02.530+02:002015-06-13T02:39:02.530+02:00It's interesting that Bradley Cooper is jumpin...It's interesting that Bradley Cooper is jumping on board for that SyFy show. Looks like he wants to get more skin in the game, spreading his wings beyond acting. Hopefully the show will take off well. I like him. <br /><br />Upon looking at the poster for Red Queen, I thought it was maybe some kind of horror film (I haven't read the book...didn't know this was adapted from a novel; oh and how in the world did you get a gig translating that book? That sounds so cool!) but after reading your post I'm curious about the movie even though I still don't know what genre it falls in. The storyline works for making me want to see it. I'd likely watch the film before reading the book though. The poster loos kinda wicked, yet, I like the design...it conveys just enough information to give viewers an idea of what it's about :)<br /><br />~NicoleNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965945636486620938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-7935165762128071282015-06-13T01:36:08.220+02:002015-06-13T01:36:08.220+02:00Both sound like winners - hope so at least!
