Twilight Week Day 4 (Eclipse)


Day #4 into Twilight Week, which means: TOMORROW!! TOMORROW!! I LOVE YOU! TOMORROW, IS ONLY A DAY AWAY!!!

Haha just kidding...but no seriously!! The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 is coming out officially TOMORROW!!! Okay, so technically tonight at 10 p.m., but since I won't be able to see it until tomorrow morning, I'll just have to be patient.

Ugh, I'm so bummed that's it's all going to over tomorrow!  The only thing I have to look forward to then, is the DVD release!  And than it's REALLY OVER!! I'll just have to have annual Twilight Marathons!

So anyway, today's review is on Eclipse!

Goodreads Description:

As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour Eclipse, the much-anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire love saga.

My thoughts:
I LOVE this series! So instead of a traditional review where I would go on and on about my love for this book, I'm going to share my favorite quotes!

  • "'It won't be the same for me,' I whispered, half to myself. 'You won't let me be like that.  We'll live in Antarctica.'
"Edward snorted, breaking the tension. 'Penguins. Lovely.'" (pg. 26) (Bella and Edward)

Why?: HAHAHA, Penguins...Get it?? Because they only drink raw animal blood!! HAHAHA love that line! 
  • "'Photographic memory or not, I don't understand why you like it. The characters are ghastly people who ruin each others' lives. I don't know how Heathcliff and Cathy ended up being ranked with couples like Romeo and Juliet or Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy.  It isn't a love story, it's a hate story.'" (pg. 28) (Edward about the novel Wuthering Heights)
 Why?: Well, even though Edward changes his mind later on about Wuthering Heights, this is exactly how I felt after reading that book!  Emily Bronte's story was a depressive hate story, while her sister Charlotte, wrote the TRUE love story in Jane Eyre!
  • "'Ugh!' I groaned. 'I really wish you were not forcing me to say this out loud, Dad. Really. But...I am a...virgin, and I have no immediate plans to change that status.'" (pg. 59) (Bella to Charlie)
Why?: Haha, whenever I read this part I have to think of this scene in the movie, because it was just hilarious!
  • "Emmett had said, 'I'm really glad Edward didn't kill you.  Everything's so much more fun with you around.'" (pg. 93) (Emmett to Bella)
Why?: Emmett is awesome!!
  • "'I'll be back so soon you won't have time to miss me. Look after my heart -- I've left it with you.'" (Edward in a note to Bella) (pg. 95)
 Why?: Another one of those devastatingly sweet words from Edward!
  • "'I am always interested in everything you do -- but you don't have to tell me unless you want to.'" (pg. 190) (Edward to Bella)
Why?: Ditto (see above)
  • "'Isabella Swan?' He looked up at me through his impossibly long lashes, his golden eyes soft but, somehow, still scorching. 'I promise to love you forever -- every single day of forever. Will you marry me?'" (Edward) (pg. 460)
Why?: Sigh...the sweetest proposal in the history of literature right there!
  • "'It's a good thing you're bulletproof.' I sighed. 'I'm going to need that ring.  It's time to tell Charlie.'" (pg. 620) (Bella to Edward)
Why?: Loved this part in both the book and movie! :)

So that's it from Eclipse, of course, I could say SOOO much more, but let's just leave it at that! :)

Tomorrow...Breaking Dawn review/Favorite Quotes!! And then move ahead to Saturday...REVIEW of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 the MOVIE!!!

It's going to be one bittersweet ending!

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!!

Image
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...
