Book Review: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

November 10, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

I feel like the subtitle for Eclipse could be "Let's Feel Sorry For Jacob." I can't help but think that Jacob (in real life anyway) wouldn't be comforted by his ex-girlfriend that he still can't have.  But that's just me.  Of all the books in the series, this one is by far the most romantic. ...

Waiting on Wednesday: Destined by Aprilynne Pike

November 9, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Waiting on Wednesday 9 Comments

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. I read the first three books in this series in one weekend.  I got the first book, Wings, free from a promotion on my kindle.  Then I saw that Stephenie Meyer had given it a blurb so ... Read More »

Book Review: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

November 8, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

I read this book mainly because it was talked about a lot in Eclipse.  I was shocked by how dark and Gothic it was.  I can't imagine what people must have thought when it was published.  If I could pick two words to describe Wuthering Heights it would be "passionate" and "bizarre."  I've never read ...

Twilight Playlist Countdown to Breaking Dawn Week 2 Wrap-up

November 5, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Events Leave a Comment

Here are my spoilery thoughts on all things New Moon. The Book: The thing I liked the most about New Moon when I read it the first time was how realistically Stephenie portrayed a teenage break-up.  Call me over-dramatic, but when I broke up for the first time as a teenager, I didn't like listening to ...
