Twilight

I just finished chapter 8. Wow! It's starting to get good. I should eat lunch, but I don't want to get food on my book.

Here's something I like about Stephenie's style: she leaves plenty of holes and allows you to assume things. Now I may be wrong about my assumptions, but it's enjoyable to read and guess. Even if I'm wrong, I'm still enjoying the anticipation.

edit:

Because I'm a neck-up kinda girl, this is my favorite line so far: It was a colossal tribute to his face that it kept my eyes away from his body.

And it's a colossal tribute to my love for my husband that I picture him when I read the name Edward.

However, I don't think any actor is going to live up to the image most female readers have in mind when they read Edward.

edit:

Chapter 12. Every time she describes how handsome Edward is (she just used the word angel) I'm reminded of how appealing satan is. Then I think, maybe I shouldn't be trusting Edward. Maybe he's just lulling her into a false sense of security... Maybe my initial label of Jerk still stands?

I've Been Married 83 Days

October 17 was one of my original wedding dates. One chosen (along with April 23rd) long before I was even engaged. I would not trade the last 83 days for an October 17th anniverssary.

I just finished chapter four of Twilight.

Ok, I finally started Twilight. I know I'm behing the curve, but between getting hitched and teaching school I haven't had the hours to devote to something fun. I could put it off no longer. I hate to read something just becasue it's trendy, but I also hate to miss something that's really GOOD, so I'm devoting the rest of my vacation to finishing. I want to blog my thought as I read. Kind of a stream of consciousness, inner monologue thing. That's only if I can stop reading long enough to get my thoughts on paper (read: cyperspace).
As the title says I just finised chapter four. I'm intriqued. I know enought from what others have said to realize there's more going on that what I realize. My brain is going crazy tyring to predict what it is. If I didn't know there was more to it, I'd be mad at Edward at this point. Where does he get off saying, "We shouldn't be friends" and then in the same moment asking Bella to Seattle with his devistatingly handsome tawny eyes?
JERK!
I have a feeling Edwards is a lot older than a high school kid should be. His "banter" is much more sophisticated than an Alaskan/Washington teenager.
I'm afraid I was a lot like Bella when I was seventeen. A sucker for a cute boy. Even if I knew he was bad news, as Edward so obviously is. He even said so himself. "How can she be mad at him one minute and enamored the next?" I ask myself. Then I chuckle, because I know how.
I feel vulnerable typing my assertions as I read. Those of you who know the truth are probably laughing at me.

edit: I wonder if Bella believes Jacob's cold ones story?

edit: It appears she does...

I'm a little annoyed. I searched online for a picture of the novel, but had to avoid dozens of fan adn movie sites. I'm happy that Stephenie Meyer is now independently wealthy, but wish I could have enjoyed these books in isolation. Maybe I should spend some time looking for the next big thing so I can be ahead of the curve next time. Hm...I haven't heard too much hype about Percy Jackson. Maybe there's hope.
