Twilight

Holy Cow! You were not kidding about needing the tissue for New Moon. I read about a quarter of it! Those first few chapters (OMG) But I think the author did an excellent job of setting the mood and drawing you in just that it was you experiencing it! I am already seeing a quality of writing change in New Moon as compared to Twilight!  Haha! Yeah, I did warn ya!  Stephenie Meyer is an AMAZING author. And I am inclined to agree with you; she does completely draw you into the story. AND her books and quality of writing do very much just get better and better as she goes along in the saga. She developes the characters and their personalities even more as she goes along too. Like I said before, I did love the first books (which is why I continued on in reading the rest of the books in the series, obviously) but by far Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are my personal favorites...especially Breaking Dawn. That book is, without a doubt, absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!! It was such a fantastically brilliant end to the saga. 
I can't believe you've finished New Moon already. It sounds like you read about as fast as I do!  Especially when I am really into the story--I just completely devour an entire book in a heart beat! Although, I will admit, I did cry during New Moon and at both happy and sad parts. I even shed a few tears in the latter books in the series too--as did pretty much everyone else I've talked to about it. I even got my mom to read the books with a little bit of convincing. She cried at all of the appropriate parts as well and ended up really loving the whole story. It's truly amazing how even though these books are classified as 'young adult' novels, that they really bridged the generation gap and touched so many people, of all ages and walks of life! To make other people actually cry or laugh out loud while reading a story that you have written and totally feel a part of the story takes a lot of talent and comes from a really special person. Stephenie's just brilliant! Though it does make it a little difficult to continue reading once you start to cry. You have to put the book down (never something I want to do when I'm into the story so much ) and wipe the tears away with a tissue. It's not too easy to read through blurry eyes! lol
By the way, I love hearing how you are coming along with the books...your reactions remind me of my own when I first read them, and so it's a bit like re-living the experience, for me at least.  Can't wait to hear how you come along with Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
Oh and just a suggestion...if you have to wait a bit before you buy the next books, you might consider reading the partial version of Midnight Sun. It won't be like you are going ahead of the story. Midnight Sun is just Twilight, only this time she is re-telling the entire story through Edward's perspective. It gives you deeper insight into Edward's mind. And since someone leaked it onto the internet before Stephenie had finished writing it, she has it posted on her personal, official website. So all you have to do is go to her site and read it on there. It's not finished and only about 300 pages aproximately, but it is an excellent read. And since you've read Twilight, you know it is all from Bella's point of view, so there are many times that she is not with Edward, nor is she inside of his head to know what he is thinking, so this version gives you a broader view and fills in some of the gaps from the first book. It may be something for you to do until you get Eclipse. But man oh man! I sure can't wait until she actually finishes and publishes Midnight Sun!!! Anyhow, this has gotten really long lol...but I hope you enjoy the rest of the saga!!

Tracker,
Many (if not all) of us born again Christians have similar testimonies. Sure, they all vary based on the individual's life circumstances. But God performs miracles every single day--you just have to have your eyes open to see them! But He has also saved us all in very personal and different ways. You may feel ashamed of your past or regret your sins, but truly you must forgive yourself because Jesus loves you just as you are and He has also forgiven you ALL of your sins. You are a perfect, beautiful person because God has made you this way and that is exactly how He sees you and how you need to start seeing yourself! And He will continue to perfect you even more each day as you grow closer to Him in your relationship with Jesus Christ. Though it is true that you should not dwell on the past, you should also never ever be ashamed to share your testimony with others. Your testimony is just one of many miracles that God has performed in your personal life and by telling others how you were saved, how He has changed your life for the better, how he has transformed your mind and heart, and everything that He has done to impact your life--it brings such great, awesome GLORY to our most high Lord! Also by witnessing to others the things you have seen, and felt by God's glorious hand, you are also leading by example. And sometimes your story is all it takes to make a non-believer reach out to Christ. May you continue to grow in the love of the Lord and may all of your days henceforth be blessed! |

This is such an engaging, and powerful song with truly phenomenal, inspiring and empowering lyrics! I really love this song!
 No matter what kind of day I've had, it never fails to lift me up!
The song itself sounds a wee bit better on the CD naturally, but the video linked below is a pretty decent and quality version actually. I sincerely hope you all enjoy it!

uses deer antlers for her bras (this could be sexy....and the fact that I find it sexy may scare her the most )
sounds like the original push-up bra! 
HAHA! Thanks I needed the laugh today!
Antler bras are a very scarey concept--kinda sounds like something Madonna would do though!

haha He only knows that because HE was my delivery driver!
But what you all don't know is that TBRich is just sooo incredibly EASY! All I had to do was wink at him once and give him a little smile, and he ended up giving me my order plus 3 other people's orders! Although, he sure left my doorway in a trance;hyptonized by my very presence! |

I just finished Twilight last night and started into the first few pages of new moon. My thoughts on the movie vs the book. I saw the movie first. I think that the Bella in the movie didn't translate very well from the book. I find Bella more 'cold' in movie and more 'girlish' in the book. I think that besides the 'hollywood' liberties and condensing the movie pretty much told the story in the book. Oh and whoever spilled the beans in 3rd book, gee thanks!   
Yeah, I agree with you there. And now that you have finished Twilight,did you notice how they took out some of the humor from the book when they made the movie? Especially with Edward. Yes, he is a very serious and brooding vampire, but he does have a sence of humor in the books too. One of my favorite lines he said in the book, they took out of the movie. It was when they went to prom, but Bella didn't know they were going and when she fessed up to Edward about the fact that she thought he had dressed her up because he changed his mind about turning her into a vampire too, he made a witty comment like "And you thought that would be a black tie affair, did you?" I don't know, it just seemed like the movie was a little dry in contrast to the book. What did you think? AND *points to Keith* He spilled the beans!!! hahaha |
