Woohoo! 6 Days!
Jul 26th, 2008 | By Jenna | Category: Book News, Site News“There was no distraction from the…the agony.” Edward (New Moon)
And don’t we all know it! It’s been a torturous time waiting for the conclusion of our beloved series – and we’re finally down to 6 days! So I (Jenna) am here to share with you some things that I love about Twilight!
I was going to pick some of my favorite quotes from the series, but the more I looked through the books to find the exact wording, the more I realized that some of my favorite parts were Bella’s thoughts. For example:
“It was there, sitting in the lunchroom, trying to make conversation with seven curious strangers, that I first saw them.” (Twilight) I love this line because, as we all know, this is where Bella’s entire world/life/existence changed; and that is awesome!
“He had turned the radio to an oldies station, and he sang along with a song I’d never heard. He knew every line.” (Twilight) This is just funny because, can you imagine being Bella and having this unworldy-gorgeous man singing his heart out to a song from the 50s? It’s just unheard of!
“It was very strange, for I knew we were both in mortal danger. Still, in that instant, I felt well. Whole. I could feel my heart racing in my chest, the blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins again. My lungs filled deep with the sweet scent that came off his skin. It was like there had never been any hole in my chest. I was perfect – not healed, but as if there had been no wound in the first place.” (New Moon) For as much as I didn’t like New Moon, because our couple was torn apart, these final few chapters, beginning with this paragraph, are some of my favorite in the entire series. There is such raw emotion and utter joy in finding one another again even amidst the dire circumstances. It is absolute beautiful writing.
And finally, “I tensed waiting for the fury – both his and mine – but it was only quiet and calm in the darkness of his room. I could almost taste the sweetness of reunion in the air, a separate fragrance from the perfume of his breath; the emptiness when we were apart left its own bitter aftertaste, something I didn’t consciously notice until it was removed. There was no friction in the space between us. The stillness was peaceful – not like the calm before the tempest, but like a clear night untouched by even the dream of a storm.” (Eclipse) Like the quote above from New Moon, this is just such a beautiful piece of writing that I can’t help but love the vision that Stephenie has cast with it. You can easily put yourself in Bella’s place. I love it.
OK, so with all of those thoughts from Bella in mind, I’m even more psyched for Breaking Dawn to get here. I know that Stephenie will “Wow” us again with her incredible writing and it’s hard to believe it’s almost here.
So, for a little bit about me and my thoughts on Twilight, here we go:
Team: Edward all the way. Though, I would rather take him for myself than let Bella have him!
Favorite Characters: Alice and Edward
Least Favorite Characters: Jake and Lauren (maybe he should imprint on her! haha)
Bella – Stay Human or Turn: Bite her already!
Favorite Villian: Aro – I think he’s funny!
What do I want to happen in Breaking Dawn? I want a wedding that goes off without a hitch! And I want Bella to be changed because she wants to be changed not because she gets hurt and has to be changed. Other than that, anything can happen! Well, except for any of the Cullens dying. That just wouldn’t be cool.
Here’s something to tide you over until the Friday night release parties. Check out this fan fic. Appraising Fate. This is a completed story about what would have happened had Edward bitten Bella that first fateful day. It’s a really great story that has a wonderful ending. Bella’s power is pretty cool too!
And last, but most certainly not least, here’s a lovely picture of Rob Pattinson. I’m posting it for no real reason other than he’s just so darn nice to look at. 🙂
Question for You: What is the one thing that you want to happen in Breaking Dawn more than anything else? You want this so much that you’d be upset if it didn’t happen. Answer in the comments!
I’m certain that Edward and Bella will be married and he will change her, its just the road they will have take to get there that is driving us all crazy. Knowing Bell’s love for books the one thing that I think would be awesome is if for a wedding gift Edward writes Bella a book about her life, knowing that human memories fade, with all the questions her asked her in Twilight and all their experiences together, I think that would be an incredible gift. The home made kind she likes.
If Bella and Edward weren’t married by the end or if they weren’t together full stop 😛
I’m DESPARATE to know about the Tanya quote 😛 But it doesn’t come out till August 4th in the UK.
ok so… first off that story that the one girl wrote was absolutely breathtaking and well depressing… i love to read different versions of how people think it all might go down… but i hope stephanie writes its differently… lol
couple things id like to see:
– deffinately some volturi action in there speed up the process
– id like to meet the denali clan 4 sure if uve been reading the quotes on stephanies site it seems like shes got them in there
– deffineatly a wedding no matter what
– all of bellas ties
– a honeymoon 😛
– and what her powers may be like when shes turned
– no matter how much i dislike edward for coming in the middle i think that the movie edward is really hot and id like to see him imprint and be happy
– and id deffinately like to know what all the humans are up to seeing as bellas goning to have to keep some contact with them!
i basically agree with every comment above except for the people who want to see jacob and bella together cause thats just not right…. it doesn’t seem fair to any characters in the book whatsoever
luv
paulii
lmaoo whooaa i meany ** no matter how much i dislike JACOB i think that in the movie JACOB is really hot ans id like to see him imprint and be happy
I would be really dissapointed if my theory is wrong.
My theory is just like Kallie’s except a bit more detailed.
I think Leah has imprinted on Jacob, because when you imprint on someone you become whatever that person needs you to be, whether it’s a lover or a protector or a friend. Well Jacob doesn’t need any of those right now. What he needs the most is someone to make him realize that Bella chose Edward. He needs someone to tell him that it’s over. And that’s excactly what Leah does.
I really hope it happens cause I don’t want Jacob to imprint. I want him to choose to get over Bella. Not be forced to. And I really want to see the good side of Leah.
I’d be to the EXTREME disapointed if Edward doesn’t turn Bella into a vampire, and if he lets Bella die i would burn my copy of Breaking Dawn…
And then go to Borders Immediately to buy another one.
i say wedding. and i also want Edward and Bella to get married. Edward can then turn her into a vampire
