This is not a book review.

I’m currently reading Stephenie Meyer’s “The Host”.  I’ve read all four of SM’s best-selling books in the very popular (and that’s putting it mildly!) Twilight Saga:  Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, all of which are young adult novels. 

The Host, I believe, is SM’s first adult novel.  I haven’t been getting too far in my reading though so I can’t say yet if I like the book or not.  I’ve heard the first few chapters are quite slow (and I think I agree!) but picks up at some point that one wouldn’t want to put it down.  When I do get to those chapters in the book, I can only guess I’ll be reading into the morning again.  It’s very easy for me to loose track of time when I’m too engrossed in my reading.  With the Twilight Saga, I had to will myself to stop reading at 3am!  I’ve sort of promised myself I’ll avoid sleeping that late again.  I sure don’t want to say hello to acne!

I wonder when I’ll finish this book.  I’m only on the 70th page of a 619-page book.  My pace should pick up when I hit the exciting parts.

I’m happy to be posting fresh photos for this week’s photo hunt theme.  Photos I haven’t posted in any one of my 3 blogs!  Weeee!

These pics were taken at one of the more colorful places in California…Universal Studios!  It was a typical hot summer that one just sweats quite effortlessly.  Eeeew!  No need for ‘em diet pills, I tell you! 

The last time I was in Universal Studios was 2003.  And it’s amazing how there’s just something new everytime I visit.  Take the Simpsons Ride for instance.  It’s a simulated coaster ride, which, if my memory serves me right, replaced the old Back to the Future ride.

We loved every minute of this ride.  And here’s another colorful pic for you…

The Adventure of Curious George is a waterpark of sorts, which we kinda avoided, hot as it was.  We didn’t bring extra clothes, save for extra shirts.  We didn’t plan on buying new clothes at Universal because of the outrageous prices.

I have colorful kisses here, my other Photo Hunt entry.  Visit other photo hunters here.
