On the cover of my just arrived Marie Claire is Rachel McAdams and I could not be happier. She is one of the celebrities that, for me, feels like she could be my best friend (she'd obviously toss off her ex boyfriends to me). I enjoy her and really enjoy her movies. So, while I was doing my preliminary scan through the mag, I was surprised that they didn't go with the normal celeb interview routine. Instead, they had her choose a book for the monthly Marie Claire book club and used that as the article.
Genius! I wish they did that more often because seriously how many recycled questions can you ask these people? How was the breakup? What is your take on fashion? Body issues? Why are you so cool even though you're a totally normal person? I'm not sure if the book is any good (though my bestie would obviously have great taste in books) or if I'll even read it, but I applaud Marie Claire for trying something new. We can always use more celebrations of books in this country and Oprah can't do it by herself.

It's the one thing that I've known
Like Rory Gilmore, I too live in a world of books. I read often and try to get through books quickly because I always have an ever-growing pile awaiting me.
Last year, I was introduced to a series, the first of which is called 'Twilight' and it was recently brought to my attention that I have yet to blog about it. I highly recommend reading these but as they are young adult books, I'm sure many of you will scoff and decide that they're not worthy. Well I'm here to tell you that you're nuts.
Now I will admit, they are not great literature, but they are such fun reads. The basis is a love story that isn't quite natural (especially if you love werewolves). I don't want to give anything away but I'll just say that there's a human girl and a flirtation with a boy who we'll say is less than human. The movie based on Twilight comes out next friday (11/21) and you best believe I'll blog about it that weekend. I just thought I'd give the heads up to those of you who'd maybe want to read it first.
Just a word of warning: More than likely once you read the first you'll probably be inclined to shut yourself in your home and read the other three. The series has been know to induce obsessive behavior.
The vid is a song from the soundtrack by Rob Pattinson who plays the lead male role and may be better known to you all (except Alison, as she is crazy) as Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter:
