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. ...

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 ...

Book Review: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

November 3, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

This book drags. Don't get me wrong - I can relate a lot to Bella in this book. Oddly enough, my first break-up felt the same way. Her bitterness especially about how love gives someone the power to break you really gets to me.  However, there isn't much plot and even the conversations seem to take ... Read More »

November 1, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Events Leave a Comment

Here's the alternate playlist for New Moon.  If you want to see the other playlist, go to my Twilight Playlist Countdown to Breaking Dawn Week 2 post. Some videos have commercials because they are the "official" versions.  Sorry about that.  I've listed the chapter that each song goes with in New Moon. This playlist has so many great songs ...
