I am not a big reader of books. If a book doesn’t capture my interest within the first 3 pages, I put it aside…never to be opened again. A friend of mine purchased the first book for me at Christmas. Although I thanked her for the gift, I scoffed inside thinking to myself, “who wants to read a book about vampires? -silly.” Well, I went on a trip to California and wanted to bring something along to read on the plane, so I took the Twilight book. I ended up reading the entire thing and couldn’t wait to get back home to order the next one. Before I finished the 2nd book, I ordered books 3 and 4. I felt as though I knew the characters personally! The entire series is awesome and you find yourself not wanting to put them down because you have no preconceived guess on what’s going to happen next. Highly recommended.
Avenir Bicycle Tube 12
I didn’t know much about the brand and was very reluctant to buy, but for the price and size of the card you really can’t go wrong. I’ve always had good experience with SanDisk but couldn’t justify paying double for the same type of card. I can’t say that the Transcend is any better or worse than the equivalent SanDisk, but as far as taking pictures and video I have no complaints. The videos look sharp and clean with no lag. Pictures load fast and look great. I definitely would consider Transcend more in the future.

TREE TROLLEY HW 12
I read this book after being told by a friend that I was similar to the Holden Caulfield character of the book. At that time I was struggling in high school and my parents were mad at me about my poor grades. This was the perfect book to read at that time.
The book is narrated by a young failing student in a boarding school who runs off, stays in a creepy hotel with a prostitution business, he gets drunk at a bar, roams the city, goes to a movie, and runs back to his parent’s home. He has cool adventures and comments to the reader on his disenchantment with society. The book is a page turner. I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend it to anyone who was deemed intelligent by their parents but struggled in school.
Magiq Time 3 12
Mixed reviews held me back from reading this book for quite some time, despite my recent foray into juvenile literature. I have to say I have mixed feelings as well, though not for a lot of the reasons I’ve read (okay, people who say a 12-year-old criminal mastermind is just ‘too farfetched’ of an idea… did you notice the fairies and dwarves and trolls and the centaur? Oh, a 12-year old genius is too much to handle, but all of the fantasy creatures… no problem? Fiction, people… it’s fiction. If I wanted ‘real world’ stuff I’d just leave the house!). Mostly I had a very hard time picturing a lot of the creatures (specifically the dirt-eating unhinged-jawed dwarf) and didn’t have a great handle on the setting/technology/magic being described. But the action was good, and I did like a lot of the characters. So it gets a pretty middle-of-the road review, though I will read more in the series.
12 CLASSIC TV SHOWS
When we purchased our new TV a couple of months ago, I purchased expensive Phillips HDMI cables (x2) for about $40 each. The picture was beautiful and crisp as was the sound, but I hated that I spent about $90 for TV cables. I felt it was a rip off. So I decided to read some reviews of a cheaper version and was thrilled that not only could I get a cable for $2.50 a pop, but they received such astounding reviews. I figured for this price, it was worth trying at least.
Perhaps this cable has received such good reviews only because it was the first cable purchased and the reviewers had nothing else to compare it to, or perhaps it works better on a 60 Hz TV and doesn’t support the 120 Hz HDTV’s, I don’t know… But I feel that since I purchased such an expensive TV and since I pay for HD service through my satellite company, I am going to chuck these to the garage sale pile and go out and buy the more expensive cables and get the brilliant, vivid picture. After all, that is why I bought this TV.
Really, for $2.50, you might be like me and want to just give them a shot to see if it works for you. Perhaps you’ll be like the majority here and love the quality. Unfortunately, I did not.
KitchenAid Precision 12 cup
I’ve read this book a few times in my life, roughly every decade since high school. Each time I find new or different meaning in Holden’s struggles. It’s too easy for us to say, “snap out of it!” as some suggest; but I think that really turns a blind eye to the real internal struggles that many teens have today. Moreover, how we deal with “phonies” is a debate that many of us have well into our adult life. This book still hits a cord for me.
12 Pack Fuzzi bunz
I bought this book for my son years ago – and it got stuck on his bookshelf – sadly he never read it. As he is now in college (I did say “years ago”) and I am housecleaning I decided to give it a go before donating it to a local charity organization. What a pleasant surprise. Artemis Fowl is quite a character – a criminal mastermind at 12 years old – and a loveable character at that. As others have said it isn’t Harry Potter but it doesn’t have to be. It is fun and full of humor that adults can also get a chuckle out of. I am off to the store for Book #2.
