Outside Reading for 7/9
So I just wanted to explain what I've been reading so far for my independent novel. I'm reading the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I'm sure everyone has heard of it. I've been wanting to read this book for a really long time but could never find the time. Now that we are required to read for this class I have to make time! So far this book is addictive. I picked it up and have tried not to set it down. It's complicated to be addicted to a book and have a 2 year old. Every time I pick it up to read she starts getting into something she shouldn't because my attention is drawn from her to the book. So when I do get to read in private I just read and read. So pretty much what has happened is Bella goes to live with her dad Charlie in Forks, Washington because her mom is moving to Florida with her new husband Phil. Bella wasn't looking forward to it because she didn't like visiting during the summer and now she was living there. The sun rarely ever shines here and Bella starts to miss her hometown, which is Phoenix, Arizona. She isn't used to all the attention she is getting because at her old school no one paid attention to her. There is a dance coming up and 3 guys have already asked her, but she turned them all down. This is when she starts to question about Edward. Well when she decides to go to this beach party with some of her friends, Jacob, who previously owned the truck, took her on a walk and started to tell her some old legends and thats when he said that Edward was a vampire. She went home and researched vampires on the internet and tried putting two and two together and it finally made sense. She is in love with him and doesn't care what he is but she doesn't understand but being with her is hurting him because he loves her as well but if he bites her she will live an immortal life and he doesn't want that. So this book is getting better and better as I read and I'm really excited to finish the book so I can watch the movie. Just reading the book makes me want to watch it so bad.

I received two of the series for my birthday last year. I was a little put-off when I opened the book and there were stickers and a poster though. I'm pretty sure they were marketing it to a group much younger than me. I did read them and found both books good. I have resisted the urge to see the movie, they rarely satisfy me like the book does.
ReplyDeletehave you not seen the movie? i actually watched the movie first, then read the book. i've never done that before because i always thought watching the movie first would ruin the book! and..yup, i was right. the book was fun, but i just wasnt that into it. and i was hoping to get through the second book before the second movie comes out, but i think i might have to be just a movie-watcher in this series. hopefully you enjoy the rest of them as much as the first! :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough this book involves vampires, I'm very excited about any novel that is "addictive." :) Did you read Harry Potter? People experienced the same thing with this series...
ReplyDeleteSometime remind me to tell you the story of how my best friend got addicted to Twilight. Not pretty.
