New Moon . . .

. . . Ok, So I've read to about page 100 in New Moon and, its pretty good so far. I am a little sad that Edward doesn't have a very big role yet, and Bella's depressed attitude doesn't really lend itself to making the story very exciting, but I'm hoping the plot will pick-up soon, and I guess this lull in the action does give readers a chance to learn more about Bella's character. Anyway, I've just started the part where Bella is going with Jess, for the first time in months, to the movies. I must admit, I was really surprised when Bella didn't even know what movies were playing. I mean, I know she's sad, but you have to really seclude yourself from society to not even know one movie that would be in the theatre. She seems so sad and lost, as if she has no hope for life. I'm glad she has Charlie though, because even though I do want her to wait for Edward, she can't just throw away the rest of her life, even Edward wouldn't want her to. Charlie seems to be the reality in her fairy tail life. He really loves her and wants his old daughter back, not some robot that "doest do anything!" (Meyer). However, in Bella's defense, she really can't find anyone else like Edward. Not only because he was a Vampire, but because they "clicked" so well together and shared so many memories and secrets that helped make them the people they are today. And once Bella has this impossibly high standard like Edward, hardly anyone can make it.

Twilight/ New Moon . . .

. . . Like most of the readers of Twilight, I finished the book in about a weekend, and since then I've been looking for another story to read. Naturally I wanted to read New Moon, but at the time that I finished Twilight I honestly did not have time to head over to Barns and Noble, and amidst studying for pre-holiday break tests and trying to start drivers' training it kept getting pushed to the back burner. I still haven't bought the book, but I just had to find out what happens next! So, one day over break I finally did make it to Barns and Noble but, of course, I had no money with me to buy the book! But I wouldn't let that stop me. In the spirit of someone truly obsessed, I grabbed the book off the shelf and plunked myself down in one of the many awkwardly placed uncomfortable chairs found in B&N. So there I sat, completely engrossed in my book, for about half an hour. Then, when I had to go, I put the book back on the shelf, and I had read nearly to page 100. I know it sounds crazy, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to read that book! I left with a pretty good idea of the plot and conflict and an even stronger craving to read. Hopefully before the end of break I'll have a legitimate copy I can read at home and I'm looking forward to finishing New Moon.

Christmas break . . .

. . . Wow! I can hardly believe that the holiday break is already over! I've waited for it to come for soo long, and now it's already passed. Now we have to get back to the real world of homework, school, and only Spring Break to look forward to. Monday may possibly be the worst day of my life and I don't know how I'm going to get up for school. Well . . . it was great while it lasted! I had a great break and, to look on the bright side, I still have a bunch of Christmas money to spend.
