Unofficial June Book: New Moon

Did anybody else pull double duty again this month? I barely managed it, but I got it done.

New Moon is my least favorite so far of the series. A true Edward fan, I missed him being around a lot. I mean really, he thought Bell.a would be better off without him around? She's a walking danger magnet.

I did get to observe Jacob more objectively this read. I still don't like him as much as Edward, but he was good for Bella. I think, if he hadn't pushed so hard all the time to get Bella to like him back, she would have on her own. She was already heading there but his advances kept making her conscious of it and made her think of Edward all over again and so, he shot himself in the foot. Plus, I think he might have felt differently about her if he knew she was using him to hear Edward's voice. He thinks she wants to see him, and she does, but to also hear Edward's voice. Girls.

I did like meeting the Volturri and being in Italy. That was pretty sweet. I like Alice too, so it was nice to see more of her. I'm glad they didn't all get offed in Italy and that things more or less got back to normal by the end of the book.

Looking forward to Eclipse and then Breaking Dawn!!

june book

I know June is already 25% over, but better late than never! The book I chose for this month is The Host. With all of the Twilight frenzy going on, I thought it would be interesting to read Ms. Meyer's first novel for adults. I just finished it and don't quite know what I think yet, but I have a few weeks before the discussion to decide.

Unofficial May Book: Twilight

Did anybody read the unofficial book for May?

I did. Here are some thoughts I had after reading it for the umpteenth time.

I still really love the story. Bella gets on my nerves more and more. I like Edward more and more. I continue to dislike Jacob more and more.

My favorite part is when Bella wants to go to Seattle and Edward wants to drive and is teasing her about her truck and thinks, 'Stupid, shiny Volvo owner.' (pg 83)

The writing is simple. It doesn't bog you down while still relating all the information you need as a reader. I like that it goes at a pretty fast pace.

I'm reading New Moon for June. Anybody else?

I think I am going to become totally disenchanted with this series if Bella and Edward don't stay together. And that would make me really mad.
