I loved these questions, because it brought non-twilight related topics to mind and I was really able to reflect on some of these and my reading habits!

  Q. Because we have to talk about it sometime - are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? does that impact how you re-read the book?

TEAM EDWARD - FTW literally :) haha but for real when I first read Twilight, I had no idea there would even be teams, I only saw Edward and the first time reading it did affect me. Like when I read New Moon (1st time) I skipped a lot of the Jacob parts, and in Eclipse, I would not admit (even after Bella did) that some part of her did love him, but after reading Breaking Dawn I understood who Jacob was to Bella and who he would become to them all. So re-reading the book now I can look at Jacob afectionately as Bella's best friend and not the person trying to steal her away from Edward.


Back when I was an even BIGGER Twilight nerd, I used to read Stephenie Meyer's blog daily, and I found this quote and I loved it!

Q. Bella spends a lot of her time by herself in her room when she's not at school. what do you think this says about her as a character? can you relate to her introverted nature?

I really related to this side of her, because unlike most of my friends, I am perfectly happy staying home every once in a while. I also think that this gives us a chance to see, how mature Bella is for her age. She enjoys the calmer things of life and is very responsible... cooking and cleaning for her age.

Q. Probably my favorite chapter of the entire book, chapter eight brings us dress shopping, nearly getting assaulted, and then wraps up nicely with a quaint dinner and confession time. in this we see the blend of typical teenage existence starting to get tainted by the paranormal world. if given the choice right then, would you push to know more about the paranormal, or bury your head in the sand and live the teenage dream?

You know that quote: ignorance is bliss? So True! But me, I would rather be unhappy and worried, but really know what is up. Plus curiosity would have kept me glued to that chair no matter what!

Q. Already, it's pretty clear that Bella is falling for Edward. is this happening too quickly to be plausible, or is it totally reasonable to you? what about Edward do you find to be swoonworthy at this point?

This question is perfect, because the first time I read it, I never thought "oh this is happening too fast for my liking". Its funny, what becoming a book reviewer does to you, back then I wanted the fast emotional roller-coaster, who cares if it felt real! Now re-reading it I was thinking about how long they where together before the crazy stuff starts, and its nothing, NOTHING, they are together like a week?? holy shitballs, how do you know you love someone??


One of my biggest book complaints is insta-love, and I think I might have to take it easy on that now. You have to accept that the book isn't real, its a fantasy, and so if you accept that you have to accept that the love story is a fanatsy as well and not something that is supposed to replicate real life.

Q. Jessica has to forcibly remove all of the details on what's going on from Bella, but through that we learn more about how she's feeling and how she's falling for Edward already. if you were in Jessica's shoes, what would you say to Bella?
"Stop being vague woman and tell me details, NOW!" LOL
