    See you all
    on June 20, 2009. Saturday. 2PM
    at Katre Mediterranean Restaurant, 103 Dr. Lascano St. Brgy. Laging Handa, Quezon City

    How was the third and fourth books in the Twilight series? I am considering just checking out or buying the used books but would buy new if I thought they were that good. Lemme know.
