Twilight

[alexandral]

I loved this book. My head is quite light from reading for few hours straight and finishing it in one day but it was so great to have this book-reading binge (and compliment it with a stack of chocolate eclairs) ! YAY holidays! I guess I am still pretty much in love with vampire stories, meganbmoore! "Twilight" is just another prove that a "beauty and the beast" type of stories is my complete weakness.. Especially when the monster in question is aware who he is and tries to stay away and is protective to a very crazy degree. ** sigh **

This book was totally worthy a strange look I got from a "Waterstones"'s book shop assistant when my daughter and I were buying it (and another book, of course, for her - "The Wind in the Willows" :D). The guy was so clearly calculating in his mind - "HMM, you look a bit too old for this, lady, and your daughter looks too young!." HE-HE!!!!!!

Now, would he remember me tomorrow when I roll in to get the sequels for "Twilight"? I am so tempted to do this as they have "buy one get another half price" sale on children's books (where "Twilight" was surprisingly categorised) and I don't want to wait for these books to be delivered from Amazon..

Just a couple of quick questions:

- Not spoilery: Are the sequels worthy of getting a strange look from the shop assistant again? Are they any good?

- Will Edward turn Bella into a vampire one day???

I am so sorry - I have been wearing glasses for 3 years now.. The most annoying thing is that I can't read as much as I used to when I was younger.. :( I tend to get headaches with over-reading even though I can still read pretty fast when I want to (especially in Russian). I am heaving headaches now with my "Twilight" obsession - I have read a big bit of "Eclipse" before finishing "New Moon".. What to say? I am still happy for Bella and Edward to be together (especially considering he truly can't live without her). But can I be 18 and marry Jacob? (sorry, this is very silly of me :D)

Haha, ok, that's funny :p

First, I need to go further through NM, too, but the latest days were extremely busy, and some way I'm still recovering after reading Twilight. Anyway, no matter what happens and no matter how cute and lovely Jacob might become - I know I won't change. It's just me, it's my nature, once I fall in love with somthing - be it an idea, a concept, a book, anything, just name it! - it goes along with me. I fell in love with Edward, I'll stay in love with Edward. It's something beyond my ability to explain :)

I'm sorry to hear about the headaches.
*hugs*
Isn't there some medication you could take? I got pretty much used with my glasses and eye troubles, you could guess that by my long experience of wearing them, right? :D

Also, you'll be happy to know I began watching Moonlight.

think I wasn't too in love with Edward myself from the beginning. He is just too .. vampire?? As in cold sense? Also I was very angry with him when he left her, VERY angry! It was very contrived and didn't make sense to me for him to do it! (I guess you have read that bit alredy so I am not spoiling anything!) I think Bella is in love with him but not me, if this makes sense.. I'll be very surprised if she'll end up with Jacob as there seems to be more fans of Bella and Edward and I really don't mind - but Jacob is just my favourite character.

But I'll put my "serious" thought in a post later..

Headaches are all right, I'll survive!

I understand what you're thinking, and agree: each of us has a different perception of the same thing, and that coulnd't be better - this is how we come to talk, to discuss, to argue friendly - actually, to communicate with each other and with the whole world. If all people thought the same, where would have been the charm of life? :)

As I think you've read at my LJ, I fell in love with Edward at firsth sight, actually, the first time he opened his mouth and said something witty. I totally understand his reasons for leaving, you know - he had to do it, and he had to do it in a cruel way, in order to prevent the break up for being even tougher. Perhaps he is selfish, in his own way, making decisions for both of them, but he is also right, in his own way - again, because Bella has to know real life first, and then accept a fate of immortality. I guess that, by leaving, he offered her this chance.

I'll read your post and express my thoughts a bit later, I need to finish the book myself, first. I hope you don't mind :)

Oh, I 'll be writing it much later anyways - I'll have to finish the both sequels "properly" before I can put my thoughts togethr.. :D

Then we're cool. I'll be able to comment properly, too ;)

I am so sorry - I kept thinking about it in my head and did a post about the sequels.. Please feel free to miss! It is has spoilers!

Thank you for letting me now, you're sweet :)

I'll avoid it right now and will definitely come to comment later!
