Twilight the Book
My Twilight Journal: The Hunt Part 1
Last week on my Twilight journal I left off with the baseball game. If you missed it go back and see what I have written!
At the end of the baseball game Alice sees more vampires coming.
I have to say I really love the relationship between Alice and Edward. Since she can see things and he can read minds they understand and protect each other well. So when Alice suddenly has a vision Edward know from reading Alice’s thought before anyone else knows.
When Laurent, Victoria and James show up everything becomes so intense and continues this way for me. There are just a few things I want to point out. First of all the way that each one of the Cullen’s (with the exception of Rosalie) rallies around to protect Bella. She becomes the most important thing to them!
Is Bella worth it?
The other thing that really jumped out at me happened when everyone was leaving the Cullen’s house to play their part of the plan to save Bella. Edward embraced and kissed Bella in front of everyone then was gone. Then everyone was gone and Jasper knowing Bella is feeling tells her she is wrong, that she is worth-it! Okay who doesn’t want to know they are worth being saved! As I thought about this I realized how often we are shown by the action of others that we are “worth it” but we don’t even get it! The difference is when someone says it, you realize you do have worth! At the same time here Bella is thinking very much like a human and worrying about everyone else getting hurt because of her. I couldn’t imagine the guilt I would feel if someone got hurt because they were saving me! › Continue reading
My Twilight Journal: The Baseball Game
Last week I left off on the Twilight Journals sharing my thought about Edward and Bella’s Sunday at the Cullen’s.
What is next?
It was great that Edward made Bella tell Charlie that he was her boyfriend. I am not quite sure why it was so important to Edward though. I really enjoyed how Edward prepared Bella to ride on his back again! She became so relaxed and mesmerized by him that she had know choice.
I have to admit that I understand why she gets out of control when Edward kisses her. There is so much chemistry between the two once he kisses her she loses all control! You can see how Edward is so torn at times. He can’t be without her but he wants to keep her safe from him! Bella was great a taking command of the situation after her ride on his back. He kept going on about how he was mad at himself and she was so brave. She just stopped him. Then he said “I love you” for the first time! › Continue reading
My Twilight Journal: Sunday with the Cullens
Before I go into my thoughts about this part of the book, I have to say everyone loves these books it seems. Have taken the book with me to different appointments I have had and everyone asks me: How do you like it? Have you see the movie? Is this the first time you have read it?. It seems as if everyone has a story to tell about the Twilight saga! I am amazed with peoples interest in me reading the book!
Last time I left off where in Twilight, Edward and Bella spend Saturday evening together. If you have missed any of the previous Twilight Journals here are the links:
- My Twilight Journal.
- Edward warms up.
- Jacob Black.
- Port Angeles.
- After Bella know.
- Saturday in Edward’s meadow.
- Edward and Bell on Saturday evening.
After a wonderful Saturday together Bella wakes up to see Edward there with her. He had changed his clothes which he had to explain. They spend the morning together and he takes her to meet his family, the Cullen’s. Bella is understandably nervous. Not only is she meeting Edward’s family but they just happen to be all vampires! When they arrive Bella is pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome she receives. Especially from Esme! But what is up with Rosalie? What is her problem? I know Edward said she is self-absorbed but really?!
Okay, can Edward be more romantic? He wrote a beautiful song for Bella! What girl doesn’t want to have a song written for her! Edward shows her around and gives her a history of Carlisle. This is very interesting and if I were Bella I would have asked about it long before now!
I think my favorite part of this section is being in Edward’s room. I love how he admits to Bella that he is not only relieved she knows everything but it makes him happy! Also I know Bella was a little frightened by Edward’s playfulness but I loved it! He was being him and yet he was also helping Bella again understand the seriousness of being with him! I loved how he felt so comfortable that around Alice and Jasper he could show affection to Bella.
Next time I am going to cover the baseball game. I didn’t want to include that in this post since there is a lot going on during the baseball game!
Until next time,

PS. It is great to see all these scenes acted out in the movie (I haven’t seen it yet, so I am guessing). Get the Twilight movie in two disc format!

How Many Books are in the Twilight Series?
I am starting a little series for those who come across this blog and don’t know much about the Twilight series. The first question I will cover is:
How many books are in the Twilight Series?
The Twilight series books which are written by Stephenie Meyer include four books.
Twilight is the very first book written in the Twilight series. It was published in 2005. It introduces us to Isabella (Bella) Swan and Edward Cullen. These two teenagers become drawn to each other in more ways then one.
New Moon is the second book in the Twilight series. New Moon is a time of discovery for Bella and Edward. Will they be able to stand the test of time? It all depends on what happens in this book. Jacob Black and the werewolves are introduced in this book.
Eclipse is the third installme
nt of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga. Here Bella must determine how she truly feels about Edward and Jacob. More trials come when a vampire is out to get Bella. Here we see a reuniting of the mortal enemies – the Vampires and the Werewolves.
Breaking Dawn is the final book in the Twilight series. This book is the largest of all the series with almost eight hundred pages! This book resolves all of the issues that have come up in the whole series. Will Bella become a vampire? Will Edward and Bella marry? What happens to Jacob? There are many more questions and situations that are resolved in this book!
These are the Twilight series books but Stephenie Meyer has stated that she has never intended it to end at four. So how many books are in the Twilight series? These books are all based on Bella Swan’s view. Stephenie Meyer has said she is done with Bella’s view. She has also stated that she will revisit vampires at a later date!
Best,
