This was a “main” page, but now that Eclipse is here I thought I’d post it as a regular post. My theories were so wrong with most of the quotes. I had no idea how they’d play into the story.

I didn’t expect Eclipse to happen the way it did. But, I did end up loving it.  At this point, if the tables were turned, I have no idea how I would’ve reacted. I think I would’ve been very upset. I just have to keep telling myself that it’s just a book. I guess it doesn’t matter since it turned out okay.

Only 10 hours until Eclipse is released! :D I’m so excited and anxious at the same time! I don’t think I’ve ever been so anxious for a book. Yes, I was excited to find out what happens and worried that Ron would die in Deathly Hallows, but I feel there’s so much more at stake in Eclipse. (I don’t know how to explain it as Harry’s story has been a part of my life for so long and I was just as excited. I guess I just wasn’t as anxious.) Will Bella settle for second best or will she hold on to true love? Will she be able to remain friends with her best friend and still remain with her true love, even though her best friend and true love are mortal enemies? It’s so complex and aggravating. :x

When I finished reading Twilight, I had a feeling of euphoria. I’m reading it again right now; I got started a little late with Corey’s surgery and last week’s work week being so hectic. I love it just as much or more than I did the first time. The book’s so intoxicating and just draws you in.

Because of my feeling of euphoria the first time I read Twilight, I rushed to read New Moon. And … bam! My euphoria ended in an instant. I was so traumatized because of the conflict in New Moon. I do realize books need conflict.  Otherwise, they’d be boring.  I’ve come to grips with most of the conflict in New Moon, but I’m now anxiously awaiting to find out what happens in Eclipse because there’s only one way I can see for the story to end so my feeling of euphoria can come back

Seriously, if you’ve never read these books, read them! You’ll be glad you did.
