I think she was also pressured by her publishers

You're right I would've definitely been devasted if any of the Cullens died... for a split second I actually thought Alice left (how dumb right?!?!)....I actually think that I want to reread it just to see if I missed any clues that wouldn't have left me as surprised about jacob imprinting...

I only wish that the series had a soundtrack so that I could hear the song that Edward composed for Bella.

Seeing this thread, as well as the one in my sisters' book group, peaked my curiosity. I bought Twilight yesterday.

My younger cousin was hearing me & her sister talk soo much about the books that she finally gave into her curiosity and read Twilight.

She finished it in a day, and loved it!

Her sister bought Breaking Dawn on the day it came out and still hasn't finished it. According to her, she wants to "have a life" and not read a book all day. But her idea of "having a life" is watching TV, and listening to her Ipod.

Movie News Flash!

So, many of you have heard that the release of the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has been moved from this Thanksgiving to next summer. First and foremost, please know that this schedule change has absolutely nothing to do with Twilight, me, or Summit Films (so enough with the imdb death wishes, okay?). This is Warner Bros. decision, and it was not motivated by anything Twilight-related.

Now for the good news! Though we're all sad to have to wait for Harry Potter, this open spot at the theater creates a cool opportunity. The good people at Summit were thrilled to let me know that now Twilight fans are going to get their movie three weeks earlier than scheduled. That's right—Twilight will be released in theaters November 21st! Let the merry-making commence!

I think that was a pretty stupid thing for WB to do...but yay for Twilight getting their spot!

You're going to LOVE Twilight.. let us know how well you liked it once you're done...

WB is pretty dumb for doing that but I'm stoked to see Twilight 3 weeks earlier than planned!!!

Only thing is (maybe it's just me) but I'm not too happy with the way that they casted the characters.. I think that they could've found a hotter guy to play Edward

I think we've already discussed that in this thread....but don't tell that to any of the die-hard teeny-boppers...they'll "bite your head off". They think the guy playing Edward is "to die for"...(puns intended)
lol

LttleMsPrEp · #11 08-17-2008, 01:14 PM

lol.. i def. tried talking to my best friends sister about it (she's 12) she looked at me as if I were an alien with 2 heads or something lol

Bad, bad, bad. I finished it in less than 3 days! These books are easy procrastination material. I was so upset, because I didn't realize how close I was to the end until my husband came home. If I had, I would have asked him to make a trip to the book store last night. I will be there first thing this morning, for sure!

RaggedyAnn · #13 08-21-2008, 08:33 AM

Yesterday I read to page 290 in New Moon. I am getting nothing done! These books are great. Thank you for the suggestion-I think.

Let's see if I can get some work done around the house today.

WinniBug · #14 08-21-2008, 11:00 AM

LOL
I read the first three books in one weekend, bought Breaking Dawn at 10 am on Saturday morning and had it finished by Sunday evening. I also threw a high school reunion and 2 1-hour drives in there. :-)

Something about those books just sucks you in.. I can't even figure out why, really. The plot is kind of predictable, the characters are kind of likeable, but it's not like any one thing about them stands out. They just end up being very hard to put down!
