Breaking Dawn, the fourth and last book, comes out in August so I’m reading the Twilight Series again. I wasn’t sure if I was going to do it since I’ve read them four times already but lets be real, I’m obsessed with these books, of course I’m going to read them again. What was I thinking? So I just started and I thought I’d take an idea from the Twilight Guy and kind of journal my reading. Now I’m not going to write down every thought I have about every page of the book; I just thought it would be fun to write down the little things that I love or that pop out at me along the way. Just glimpses into why I love the books.

For instance, at the beginning of Twilight, Stephenie’s describing how green Forks is and she describes it as an “alien planet,” which just tickled me since she ended up writing The Host. I have no idea if there is a connection or not, but like I said, I found it amusing.

I also get it when Bella says, “Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs.” I can totally relate to that. Who can’t. I mean how many conversations do you get into that you feel like you get the other persons point of view but they just can’t seem to grasp yours. Maybe it’s just me but I think this has got to be a common thing. I know that Scott has my back but who knows who will disagree with me next on parenting styles or gospel principles or politics or books or anything and not be able to accept what I’m saying as even a different opinion. It’s like my the words aren’t even coming out of my mouth or their ears are shut off or something.

Now onto Bella’s aversion to blood. She can obviously handle animal blood if she prepared steak for Charlie without any incident or notice of it. She has a major aversion though to human blood. She says she can smell it even. This makes me think that when/if she changes into a vampire she will not have as much of a struggle with abstaining from humans. What do you think?
