Twilight Week Day 3 (New Moon)


It's already Day 3 in Twilight Week! Which means only 2 MORE DAYS until The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2!!!

So for today's post it's time for New Moon!!!

Goodreads Description:
New Moon (Twilight, #2)

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning....

Legions of readers entranced by New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for the continuing story of star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural spin. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

My Thoughts:
So as I've mentioned many times here on The Romance Bookie, I LOVE this series so much! So without further ado, here are a list of my favorite quotes from this novel:

  • "'My super secret recipe for spaghetti.  Handed down for generations,' Billy said gravely. 
  "Jacob snorted. 'I don't think Ragu's actually been around that long.'" (pg. 149) (Billy and Jacob)

 Why?: Well, because I love a good laugh! :)
  • "'What a marshmallow. You should hold out for someone with a stronger stomach.  Someone who laughs at the gore that makes weaker men vomit.'" (pg. 211) (Jacob to Bella)

Why?: Because I have always wanted to call someone a "Marshmallow" ever since reading this, and just have not had the chance to!
  • "...love gave someone the power to break you." (pg. 219)
Why?: I just love how true this is! Love can be the best feeling in the world, but in the end it can break you to pieces!
  • "'I can't believe how quick it was. I didn't feel a thing -- they're very good,' he mused, closing his eyes again and pressing his lips against my hair." (pg. 452) (Edward to Bella, thinking he was dead)

Why?:  I just find this part so cute, devastating, and amusing at the same time. 
  • "'So maybe this is hell. I don't care. I'll take it.'" (pg. 452) (Edward to Bella, still thinking they are both dead now)
Why?: I just seriously loved this part! I honestly wish they could have put this more into the movie!
  • "'Dibs,' Felix called casually from behind." (pg. 465) (Felix about Bella)
Why?: I just thought that line was pretty funny! 
  • "'You can leave me,' I explained.  'The Volturi, Victoria...they're nothing compared to that.'" (pg. 524) (Bella to Edward)
Why?: Another devastatingly beautiful line!

 All right, those were all the quotes I got down from rereading New Moon!  I'm sure there are more, but these are some great ones!

 On a side note:  Marcus (from the Volturi) in the book has the gift of seeing relationships.  That is pretty awesome!! What happened to that in the movie??!!

So that's it from Day 3! Tomorrow is Eclipse!! :)

    I like all the Twilight books but New Moon was the worst film adaptation, IMO :( and the trailer looked epic so I was kind of disappointed.

      I agree with you on that! It's funny though, because in an interview I saw Stephenie Meyer said she liked working with that director the best. She said Chris Weitz understood her vision the best and took in her opinions often.

      The trailer was just SO GOOD, especially the song at the end. I really need to rewatch it before judging I guess, though - lol. It's been a while. I plan on rewatching BD part 1 this weekend :) I own that on DVD and as well as the first, and #3 on Blu-ray. Part of the reason I bought a Blu-ray player - I won a copy and needed to watch it! lol.

      LOL nice! I own them ALL, and on Special Edition 2-3 disc dvds. Every time one of the movies comes out, I check out which store offers the most dvds with the most extras. Lol I'm a total twi-hard nerd! (writing this, as I'm sitting here in my twilight shirt, waiting to go to see Breaking Dawn part 2) lol

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
