New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

newmoon

I have now read through the entire series and will be publishing reviews for the other two books very soon.

Spoilers ahead

I actually liked this one much better than Twilight, probably because it was better written. In fact, my favorites of the four were New Moon and Eclipse. I didn’t mind at all that Edward wasn’t in New Moon very much and was even half rooting for Jacob.  It was fun to find out Jacob’s story as well. And although some readers felt that Bella’s grief was way over the top, I didn’t. Teenage love and loss– heck, adult love and loss– is very painful. Sometimes excruciatingly.

I’m excited for the movie to come out.  I’ve seen some of the sneak previews from Comic Con and they look great. I’m also looking forward to seeing Dakota Fanning play Jane.

You know, I haven’t gone through chunks of books like this for a long time, and I must say I’ve missed it.

2006, 608 pp.

[Disclosure: This book was not received from the publisher. It's hard to admit, but I actually purchased a copy.]

All it took was a little ‘#’

allittookFinally!  After a month, I finally have my background back.  I COULD NOT figure out why my middle section of my blog wouldn’t stay white instead of showing through to my books background.  I tried everything.  Finally today I just realized I was missing the ‘#’.  My code read ‘background: ffffff;’ instead of ‘background: #ffffff;’

It’s usually something small like that.  One time I was only missing a semicolon.  Arggh.  Oh, well, at least it’s back now.
