I found this pic while stumbling the other day. It's a picture of Grand Star Grouping R136 taken by the Hubble Telescope.

"A cluster of icy-blue stars swathed in soft, glowing clouds paints a festive picture in one of Hubble's most recent images.

R136, a young stellar grouping, is only a few million years-old and sits in the 30 Doradus Nebula. Several of the stars are over 100 times larger than the sun." Source

I thought this picture was just stunning when I saw it, saved it immediately. Hope you all like it. ♥

I'm 218 pages into my book (I got a late start .. I like to sleep), and I'm going to take a dinner break so I figured I should get my day three post in before I tuck into my food and the rest of the book. I'm also fighting a sudden headache, I really hope dinner helps get rid of it.

Alright well I think I'll just go ahead and recommend the book I'm reading because it's just wonderful.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

A most untraditional love story, this is the celebrated tale of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who involuntarily travels through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate affair endures across a sea of time and captures them in an impossibly romantic trap that tests the strength of fate and basks in the bonds of love. - Description on the back of the book.

I saw the movie with my mum when it came out and we were killing time in the book store beforehand so she bought me the novel to read and compare. That's another thing I got from my mother, we really like comparing novels and their film adaptations. She just watched The Other Boleyn Girl so I gave her the novel to compare (I haven't actually read the novel myself, whoops).

Okay but anyways, I really like the format of the book. I'm not usually very fond of first person writing but the author switches back and forth between the two main characters, Henry and Clare. The chapters are dates in time and the scenes are started by one character and continued by another, I really like the difference in perspective. It's a very sweet story so far and I know the ending from the movie so I expect myself to be crying, good thing it'll be night time. An excellent read so far.
