really? Even though he's been such an ass to Bella? I had a soft spot for Jacob until Edward came back in New Moon. The way Jacob treated her in both books was just

I was soo glad that the kiss in Eclipse didn't mean that she was chosing Jacob over Edward.

I totally saw a Facebook bumper sticker that defines my life at the moment:
"whoever says that they don't have an imaginary boyfriend CLEARLY hasn't read Twilight" Ahhh....lol

Jacob was there to help Bella heal when she almost completely lost herself. He's her sun, brightens her day...while her love and attraction for him wasn't as obvious, it seems it's a bit deeper.

But that should have been a reason why he should have understood where Bella was coming from. Yeah, Edward was wrong for leaving, but Jacob should have understood Bella's desire to be with him when he came back. He made Bella's life miserable, if you really love someone you don't do that!

I know Jacob confessed his love to Bella, but he wasn't imprinted to her was he? It never said. I still lol @ thinking Quil's soulmate is a 2 year old.

Jacob makes me nervous because he could imprint one day, and that would be awful for Bella. I like Jacob a lot, but I definitely prefer Edward.

WinniBug · #35 07-30-2008, 08:16 PM

Stephanie specifically said that Jacob didn't imprint on Bella...and it's something that happens the first time the werewolf sees the girl after he changes.

Have you ever tried to put yourself in Jacob's shoes?
Here's this girl who's devastated that her boyfriend has left her and doesn't have much life left in her, until you two start spending time together...then she starts to slowly but surely come back to life. You spend almost every day together and she's the most amazing girl you have ever met. You fall in love with her and you feel like she's starting to fall in love with you too. THEN, the big, bad boyfriend comes back and she goes back to him like nothing happened. THEN she admits she loves you both. What would you do? How would you react??
I TOTALLY feel for Jacob!!

BUT - I really do hope he meets someone and imprints on her. He needs someone to love him unconditionally!!!

I read about this series in EW and bought the second book in the airport on Sunday around 6pm. I was finished with the book by the time I got home at 1AM. I've now finished all three of the books and am patiently awaiting my pre-ordered copy of the last one. I'm on the Jacob team...but, I think she'll have him imprint with someone before the end of the book so you don't feel bad that Bella chooses Edward.

I forgot to pre-order, so I am debating whether or not to make a midnight Wal-Mart run, since it's only 5 minutes away...

Oh, and I am totally Team Edward!

WinniBug · #39 08-01-2008, 07:06 PM

I'm thinking about heading out to Borders at midnight
But Wal*Mart might be less crazy

ETA: I just called Wal*Mart, and the managers know nothing about the release of Breaking Dawn.

Sad! I just assumed they would, since I remember taking my little brother at midnight for several of the Harry Potter books. Oh well.

Me too. I'll just head out to Barnes & Noble tomorrow and if they run out, then i'll just wait until tuesday when Sam's Club releases their new books to see if they'll have it. (although i should have asked when I was there today! lol)

<sigh> My daughter (teenagers! grrr) insisted on having the book pre-ordered and I agreed since I like them too. She informed me on Wednesday that she was going camping with the church youth group but they're only camping 30 minutes away so they were all going to go to the release party at Borders so I should pick her up a bracelet and meet her there tonight. So I pick up the bracelet on the way home from work and call her to tell her that she's number 34 (with Harry Potter, I picked up the bracelet around the same time and we were in the 250-300 group) and she tells me that they can't come because the campground won't allow people in after a certain time. So now I have the bracelet, am entered in a raffle, and will be going to pick up this book at midnight *without the kid* I'm tired, I've been up since 5:30. But, I picked up the bracelet and entered the dang raffle! It definitely isn't going to be as crazy as Harry Potter. And, at least I'm number 34. The very big plus??? I get to read the book first since she won't be home til Sunday! Woooooooohooooo!

DoctorD · #43 08-01-2008, 11:04 PM

I've been writing all day, and am now grading papers, and am so thankful I didn't try to reserve the book somewhere to pick it up tonight. I'll swing by the "small" tomorrow and hopefully get it at the local bookstore. And if not, I'll find it before the weekend is out.

Looking forward to reading it, though... eventually!

AGDee · #44 08-02-2008, 01:02 AM

I got the book at 00:08! It's 754 pages! I'm not going to read til tomorrow though.
