I'm so behind on my blog posts, but don't worry I have several new books to report on.I just finished New Moon, the second installment in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight book series. I was on a waiting list of 64 people at the library for this book but luckily I got it about two weeks after I signed up. Maybe the list went so quickly because it's one of those can't-put-it-down books.
While I agree with my little sister (who's probably in more of the target-Twilight audience at 16) that it's not as good as the first book, I still loved it so much that I will probably have to add a copy to my permanent collection once I decide to start spending money on books again.
The story starts off immediately where Twilight left off. Bella is happy in love with Edward, her vampire boyfriend. Then he has to leave town and Bella is devastated. She starts doing reckless things because it's only then that she feels close to him. When I read that this book was going to involve werewolves I kind of rolled my eyes, but it actually works.
I know a lot of screaming teens aren't as jazzed for the second Twilight movie (I still have yet to see the first) because it doesn't feature too much of the hunky vampire star. From a literary perspective, I kind of liked lonely Bella more than OMG-so-in-love-with-my-vampire Bella. There's only so much I want to read about teen romance these days. And I really liked the werewolves and hope they will pop up in the later books of the series.
Running to the library to drop off New Moon and sign up for Eclipse. Thank you Stephanie Meyer, I'm hooked on another series!
