Notes from Jen...
Welcome to a new decade! Did you make a New Year's Resolution? I did! I've decided to blog about EVERY book I read. I've been writing a teen book review blog for a while now, but I've been a bit selective about which books I blog about. So, this year I resolve to write more. Click HERE for a link to my blog. What's your New Year's Resolution?

Your Friend Wants you to Read This
Twilight : the complete illustrated movie companion —Mark Vas
The idea of this book is to give fans a more open look at the making of the movie. The most interesting part was about how they had to change their filming location so many times because of the weather! I learned about the director Catherine Hardwicke. Her main goal was to give the fans a true rendition of their favorite book. She took her time and found the right cast, locations, crew and she really believed in it, which made it a great movie.
