She definately does not like that Bella is immune to her skills.
I never thought that Jane was interested in Edward. I thought she was jealous of him because Aro wanted him to join the Volturi. I got the impression that she was afraid that she wouldn't be Aro's favorite with Edward around.

Lust? Creapy. You know he was a 109 year old virgin. LOL
The first time around I had a problem with Edward. He never seemed to make eye contact with Bella. I found that odd because isn't gazing lovingly into the eyes of your soul mate pretty much obligatory. The second time around I got it. It is physically painfull for Edward to be so deeply in love with Bella. He is constintly at battle with his vampire instincts to "eat" her. He can't lose focus on staying in control for even one second. Losing himself in her eyes is out of the question. What is it that he says when Aro asks him how he can bear it, "not without difficulty"?
Oh, also, kudos to Billy Burke. I thought his portral of Charlie was perfect. Very sincere.
I just never really understood why anyone was attracted to Bella. If it weren't for the fact that she hang's out with sexy vampires and steamy hot werewolves she'd be completely boring.
I dug up some Christmas books.

Angie, good choice.
I read it a few years ago, when the movie came out. I only liked the first two books in the series. Three chapters into the 3rd book I decided I hated Anne Rice.
Yeah, it bugs me too that he drives the wrong Volvo in the movie. Do you think they gave Stephenie a life time supply? LOL
OMG! Did you see the new Volvo commercial?!
We're having a meet up this month. Check out the "events".
*********Possible Spoilers********
I finished the book last night. I did enjoy it in the sense that it kept me entertained and I do want to read the rest of the series. This book has no new ideas, story lines or plot points. Luke, Leah and Darth Vader.... I mean, Jace, Clary and Valentine were, well, I think if you read the book you already see my point. The only thing that surprised me, that I didn't figure out way in advance was Luke's true nature. I also liked the comment about Jewish Vampires; what are they afraid of?
I finally got a copy but I don't think I'll get a chance to finish reading it before the end of the month.
Last night's The Vampire Diaries was so hot! I think even my husband is now hooked on the show. Not for the hotness factor but for the story line. Poor Logan. HA. He was a jerk anyway.
Ha Ha. I started writing " Hmm.. I don't know..." Then I deleted it. Hey, when are we going to get together again?
Bel Canto doesn't sound interesting to me.
I really enjoyed this book. By the last hundred pages I found myself laughing out loud. Being Chick-Lit it is a little predictable but still fun.
I just started this book. It's a quick read so I might finish it tonight. I like the back and forth narative style so far.
