i just finished the last one a couple weeks ago and i'm almost tempted to start over again. They are sooooooo good. I couldn't put them down PS. The reason she wanted to die was so she could live forever and be with Edward. NOT because he broke up with her :cry:

So my question for any Twilight readers is this: Are you an Edward fan or Jacob fan?

I personally LOVE Jacob! He reminds me of a couple of guys I was friends with years ago!

I love Edward, but I grew up with the Quiliute (La Push) Indians, so I love Jacob too. I love his smile. Ahhhh to be a few yrs younger. I'm old enough to be his mother :oops: :?

The think that upset me in the movie was NOTHING in Port Angeles WAS Port Angeles. Oh well. I've been to Forks TONS of times and have many friends in La Push. I live here in Port Angeles so it was HOME to me to watch & read the books/movie

Bev, is it ALWAYS raining where you are -- like in the books? :D

No... lol I think they over exagerated that. Forks isn't too far from the rain forrest, but yeah it rains, but we get our dry spells like everyone else.

Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of fellow resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her body's longing and sets off into the desert to find him. Likely the first love triangle involving just two bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the characters (human and alien) genuinely endearing.

Oh, I've read that one too and it's great!!!! I've heard she may do a sequel.

I haven't seen the movie yet. I can use my imagination more by reading. I will see the movie sometime.

I hate movies that supposedly use areas in Seattle and we know that is not where it was shot. It is like now living in So Cal. They make a lot of movies right here in our neighborhood, it is so hard to go see the movie, when you know exactly where it was filmed and it is suppose to be somewhere like Irag and you know it is down the road in the industrial area. They also use Vancouver, BC as Seattle. It is so much easier for me to picture where the story is if I am reading.

I'll have to read that one. :D

I read them all and loved them! I've seen Twilight and I'm going to see New Moon this weekend. I'm divided on the Edward vs. Jacob choice. I do like a warm body :wink:
