Twilight and New Moon
I have read ‘Twilight’ and ‘New Moon’ by Stephenie Meyer, and I have Twilight on DVD too. All which I’ve found very good. So you can imagine now I can’t wait for New Moon to be on DVD. Yes I could go and see it at the cinema, but to me it would spoil it for when I do buy the DVD. Although I can’t say I’m not tempted, as the clips shown on TV don’t look disappointing, and so far are just how I imagined when I’d read the book.
Anybody here been enjoying these films or books too?

Book recommendation: “On The Fence: The Hidden World of the Hard of Hearing”
A book I recommend is called “On The Fence: The Hidden World of the Hard of Hearing”-Mark Drolsbaugh, which I read earlier this year has a selection of stories and poems from people who are Deaf themselves, to shed light on the HOH experience, who all share a common goal, and know what it means to be on the fence-hovering somewhere between the deaf and hearing worlds.
I liked this book as I could relate to this, and it was nice to know I was’nt the only one who felt like they did, and also the feeling of being on the fence-not being completely in the Deaf world or the hearing, but instead in between. Although I’ve been profoundly deaf since 2002, its only been since this year I’ve started to grieve for my hearing loss, since I had to talk about stuff last year that I kept hidden. This book helped me a little regarding some of these feelings I had, I even felt I learned a little too. The book can be bought from Forest Books.
