Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan, a regular seventeen year old girl moves from sunny Arizona to live with her father Charlie Swan, the Local Police Chief in a gloomy small town called Forks. It rains in Forks nearly all year round and Bella longs for the sun to kiss her skin as it once did in Arizona. She has to start at a new school and make new friends and she doesn’t expect to like it.

Bella finds her place at school and everyone is very welcoming. Sitting with her friends in the cafeteria at lunchtime Bella scans the room and her eyes lock on a table in the corner. Sitting at the table are the most beautiful looking people she had ever laid her eyes on. Her friend Jessica tells her they are the Cullen’s, all brothers and sisters adopted by local doctor Carlile Cullen and his wife Esme. Emmett is the largest and strongest looking of them all, Rosalie has long blonde hair and a stunning face, Jasper doesn’t say much and always looks like he’s worried about something, Alice has the features of a perfect pixie and Edward.…Edward was the most beautiful with his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice and irresistible charm.

As Bella and Edward become more infatuated with each other - for entirely different reasons – a diverse romance blossoms. What Bella doesn’t realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. With the odds against them, how can a human love a vampire?

Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight is a paranormal romance like no other. New Moon is the next instalment in this emotionally addictive series.

On the other side of the world, the catholic community mourns the death of their pope as the College of Cardinals gather in conclave. The Swiss Guard is on high alert as an outsider has infiltrated the walls of Vatican City, abducted four greatly respected cardinals and hidden a weapon of mass destruction counting down to destroy the City and all its irreplaceable historic archives, art, libraries and not to mention the most highly regarded Catholics in the world.

Robert and Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and talented Italian scientist discovers the Illuminati, an ancient brotherhood that has been silently waiting for 400 years to destroy religion as we know it. The only hope to save the Vatican is for Robert and Vittoria to follow an ancient path and decipher the clues and symbols to find the Illuminati lair.

Angels and Demons is a fast paced adventure with conspiracies plus twists and turns that leave you desperate to read the next page. If you liked The DaVinci Code, you will love Angels and Demons.

Del.icio.us!

Delicious is a great way to have all of yourbookmarked sites ("Favorites") in one easy to use location. In the library we use alot of different computers whether that be public computers, personal computers or a work station. Instead of bookmarking the sites on each computer, we can access them through delicious and once we have bookmark our favorite sites we can share them socially through blogs (like this one!) Not only that, del.icio.us even offers RSS feeds or...Real simple syndication.

I have provided a link to my Del.icio.us bookmarks. http://delicious.com/RhyB

My 2 favorites are:-

• My award maker - print out certificates/awards for every occasion


• Make your own wordsearch - kids love wordsearches particuarly when they are searching for their names and their friends names

So... Check it out! Ya neva no if ya neva go!
