I read all the Books of the Twilight series. I have to say they were predictable [ to me ] but interesting. In fact I sort of miss bella. It was written for the yougn [ mushy and weepy for girls ] but it did keep me interested. I am looking forward to Stephenie Meyer's novel the "Host". It's suppose to be written for adults and ofcourse anything that involves Aliens, domination of planet earth - always has my interest. THE HOST By Stephenie Meyer 619 pages.

Harry Potter - look out, Dumdbledore is Gay ??

Oct. 20 - British author J.K. Rowling has 'outed' one of the main characters of her best-selling Harry Potter series. She told fans in New York that the wizard Albus Dumbledore, head of Hogwarts school, is gay. Speaking at Carnegie Hall in her first U.S. tour in seven years, Rowling confirmed what some fans had always suspected - that she "always thought Dumbledore was gay." **** Personally I think she is just trying to drive more attention her way. Her series is over and she only has the last book tour to drum up attention. Funny she said "Thought" - After all, she created the fictional character. Don’t you think she would know, rather than suggesting that “she always Thought he was” ??? And considering that Dumdbledore is dead - does it matter…….
