Book Review: Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer

October 20, 2015 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 8 Comments

Short and Sweet Version No, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart do not just switch lines.  But, I'm not going to lie - a lot of the book is copied and pasted.  Little details are different like Beau opening the door for Edythe and Edythe smiling all the time.  Seriously, why is she smiling all the time? ...

Twilight Playlist Countdown to Breaking Dawn Week 4 Wrap-up

November 19, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Events Leave a Comment

Here are my thoughts on all things Breaking Dawn. THE MOVIE: Wow.  Prepare to be spoiled if you haven't seen it yet (are there still people who haven't seen it?). I can't stop thinking about the movie.  It went above and beyond my expectations.  The wedding was cute (Edward's toast - Awwwww), the honeymoon was funny and ...

Book Review: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

November 19, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Breaking Dawn was so much better when I read it the second time.  The first time I read it, I loved part 1, was shocked for part 2, and disappointed for part 3. Part 1 is still my favorite.  The wedding and honeymoon are pure bliss to read.  Bella's reaction to the honeymoon (where she's ... Read More »

Welcome!  I’m so excited to re-read the Twilight Series to get ready for the Breaking Dawn: Part 1 movie release.  I decided to add something new to my re-reading experience.  I got The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide this year and I really wanted to listen to the playlists that were in there while I was ...

Twilight Playlist Countdown to Breaking Dawn Week 3 Wrap-up

November 14, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Events 1 Comment

Here are my spoilery thoughts on all things Eclipse. The Book: I could just read over and over the part where Edward proposes. It's so thoroughly sweet and romantic.This book needs more romance and less love-triangle. I could have done without the last chapter of her crying over Jacob while Edward is there. I'm so glad they ... Read More »
