TWILIGHTAHOLICS! Part 2~*~ Should've been started by Caribbeanprincess!!!!

[LCTsMom]

I just want to add it to my evil shelf of Stephenie Meyer books I guard like Gollum. Does that mean I have a problem?

Nope, not if I don't!

 

[LCTsMom]

Okay, I totally get the screenshot thing but I have no idea how to crop the window out and only have text. Anyone?

 

[coastermom]

Caribbean Princess I LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture of "Edward" Rob along in the woods you posted today .

So I am so ready for BD to be finished I need something to read . I am re-reading parts of all 4 books and I really want to read The Host but am waiting for a paperback to come out. Anyone who read it ? Is it as good as Twilight or am I going to be dissapointed ?

Off to shower and get ready for Wed . Another long day ahead but THREE day weekend this weekend .. Ok he is not blue but he is happy

I pasted the screen shots into Word. Then, I could double click on the image and crop it. Once I'd done a few, I knew what amount I needed to crop from each side and then I could do it really quickly.

It will be as though I never existed.


When you can't be with the one you love, will you stay with the one who loves you?


Forbidden to Remember; Terrified to Forget.


Love Bites Back

I like this one the best.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

That's my least favorite. I like the first one and "It will be as if I never existed".

I like this one..
The other one.."It will be as though i never existed"..although it is a big part of the story this is THE quote that made me sad/angry and cry..lol

I am jealous of those of you with partners who are willing to read the series. I wonder how I can get mine to read them, though I guess I should consider myself lucky that he saw the movie with me.


Sorry I have been MIA...fighting either food poisoning or some stomach bug. blah.

I'm not sure I know how to paste the screen shots into Word. I don't get the option to paste. UGH...I'm feeling like a bonehead right now!

NEVER MIND.... I closed Word and started it again and it gave me the option. LOL

Oh, DBF will never touch it. He hates Twilight with a passion, though I have a feeling it's all jealousy towards Edward...

He read a chapter of the book out-loud to me once and was laughing all the way through.

Hope you're feeling better! So sorry to hear!

So yes, I have, whenever possible, tried to catch the new 90210. For one reason and one reason only. And today, my timing was perfect. I switched over during a commercial break just in time to see our favorite big brother with his shirt off. Oooh, I might be an even bigger Emmett fan now!

Thank god! Now the speculation is over.

My husband is really surprising me! He's almost finished with Eclipse and he actually wants to TALK about the books with me!

He enjoyed NM and Eclipse better than Twilight (you know, all that romance garbage). On his way home from work tonight he starts telling me his theories on who is creating the Newborn Army with Victoria - is it Mary from TX? Peter? Yeah, he's over-thinking that one.

Next he goes into a long tirade on how if their circumstances and genetics were different Jacob and Emmett would probably be great friends.

I just wanted him to read the books so he'd know what I was obsessing over. I didn't know I'd have a Twi-Guy on my hands!!

Wow, you lucky girl. No way could I get my DH to read it. He's always had this weird thing that he doesn't like to try reading books I love, because he's afraid he won't like them that much and then I'll be disappointed with him. Besides which, he's a bit of a snob about reading. He is not a habitual devourer of books, like me, and he doesn't have a lot of leisure time-- so if he does read, he seems to think it should be poetry or classics, and he would rather read a hard cover. Snob. Sometimes I want to just shove a book at him and say, "Just let your imagination go and ENJOY it!" I mean, I'm the one with an English degree, but I don't limit myself to 19th century literature. (hmm, like Bella does?)

Read it, I absolutely loved it. It's not Twilight, but it definitely has that Stephenie feel to it.

Thanks!

Wow you all sure do have some interesting discussions while I'm gone! I'll be very interested to see how the handle the wolves as whole. Considering that they combined some of the high school kids into one character, no Ben, just Eric, and one of the girls combined with Jessica I think, I'm wondering how they'll handle this.

I'm excited to see some of the "story" come out as opposed to the Edward obsession - not that I don't enjoy the Edward.. I'm just saying, the story sorta got lost in the "phenomenon" that is Edward so this will be a breather, maybe. Just a thought.

Regarding what some were talking about earlier re: New Moon and the struggle to get thru it...I just found this on Stephenie Meyer's site and it explains things perfectly for me. Thing is, I was the same way thru most of the books...couldn't put them down, couldn't find a good stopping point to fix dinner, do laundry and on one occasion, go to work! (I actually called in!) I knew during New Moon that I would be going back to read them at a more leisurely pace once I knew the outcome!! Here's what SM wrote:

When the advanced reading copies began to fall into the hands of my fans, I asked people read New Moon twice, promising that I would explain why later. It's later, and this is why: the first time through New Moon, I've found that readers are so anxious about the absence of Edward that they can't settle into the middle portion of the book. They skim and speed read and flip ahead until, at last, they find him again. However, at that point they've missed the main section of the novel almost completely. On a second reading, knowing that Edward will return to the story at the proper place and time, the reader can slow down and enjoy the wondrousness that is Jacob Black.

Very interesting! And I hope they don't cut any Emily or anything like that out... I think they'll need it to make the movie. Without Edward.....

New/Old Pics.

That's a yummy pic of him - EDIT: on second thought...he looks a little bit like SSB!!!!!!. I was looking at the shirt she is wearing under her jacket. Here's the thing.. along with her voice being deep... that shirt was so flouncy, wasn't it? I never believed Kristen or Bella would wear something "hippie chic" .... did you??

I
I know, right? (hahaha so Jessica) Anyhoo, I agree. I actually find that I really like Jacob - and this character development is why I continue to like him in the other books. I couldn't skip at all - so of course I finished in record time because I couldn't put it down until the reunion. Then all my newborns drove me up the wall with the questions and threats to skip. Argh. But I held out, and only one skipped to the end.


Yes!!! It bothers me to no end that she's so freakin' serious.

I agree... i loved having an "earthy" counterpart to the "otherworldly" vampire set.

My husband is really surprising me! He's almost finished with Eclipse and he actually wants to TALK about the books with me!

That is so cute!

That is definitely the one that stuck with me. I read that line and FELT for her. FELT hard.

Sorry I have been MIA...fighting either food poisoning or some stomach bug. blah.

Sorry you were feeling icky! Blech!

To get DH in the SM mood there's always.... The Host..... I'm just saying.

Oh, DBF will never touch it. He hates Twilight with a passion, though I have a feeling it's all jealousy towards Edward...

He read a chapter of the book out-loud to me once and was laughing all the way through.

That sounds sort of like fun though!

Read it, I absolutely loved it. It's not Twilight, but it definitely has that Stephenie feel to it.

YES, THE HOST ROCKED!

1st....get better soon!!
Yeah I wish my DH were into the series. He hates it so much that he always threatened to password lock me out of my own laptop so I can't get to any Twilight stuff I have on it. The only good thing about him not liking it is that I get to see the movies with my sister in law, and have a girls night out. Ok, so maybe I don't wish he were into as much as I were b/c that would be a whole set of other issues.

So yes, I have, whenever possible, tried to catch the new 90210. For one reason and one reason only. And today, my timing was perfect. I switched over during a commercial break just in time to see our favorite big brother with his shirt off. Oooh, I might be an even bigger Emmett fan now!

Kellan is in 90210? I'll have to start watching it again. He is the half brother of the girl from Kansas and the girl from Beverly Hills? I went to look it up on imdb and I kept pulling up Cam's info. I guess my brain was telling me "no look at pics of Cam not Kellan!!"

Read it, I absolutely loved it. It's not Twilight, but it definitely has that Stephenie feel to it.

I agree, you should read it. I am just a few chapters into, but I love it. I agree with Calrissian (love the name btw) it's not Twilight-ie, but yet still so Stephenie.

Did anybody look at this video of Jasper singing????????? (above)

Yikes... I'll give him crazy, spitfire...even bohemian artist.. but that was painful. What was with the 2 feet between him and the audience? I've seen better accoustics on a sidewalk performer. SHEESH. He's cute though.

Rock on, dude.

I like Rob's quirky musical stylings much better.

It takes some adjusting to but it grows on you..

It will be as though I never existed. LOVE THIS ONE! This is the line that broke my heart when I was reading NM.

Love Bites Back And this one is just too freaking cheesy and stupid

My boyfriend would never, ever dare to read Twilight, no matter how much I complain that he needs to read it to "understand." He thinks he is too good for Twilight

I hope you feel better!
