New pics from the New Moon film have just been released showing Bella running to Edward in the ally in Volterra and a shirtless rob.

I personally am pretty disappointed, its not quite how i imagined it - maybe they will do some fancy lighting in the movie? Rob is shirtless though and he does appear to have a six pack which is pretty nice.

Volterra - She liked the warm welcome she received

Who is Bella's true love?

Sam Uley - Thats why he hated him in the first place - unrequited love.

What car did Edward drive?

Well I ended up picking up "The Host" again. I'll be honest up until about the 70th or 80th page its a little confusing and slightly boring. Then suprisingly I couldn't put it down. Not the same way that I was about the Twilight Saga but i think its her style or writing. The story's not as gripping and I kind of miss the world of Forks though. I have read about 400 pages now, and its pretty good. I can see why it would be put in the adults section though, can't imagine a younger reader being that interested. And unlike Twilight where the main focus seemed to be on the romance and the vampires a back drop, I felt that in The Host, the whole "Soul/Seeker/End of human kind" was at the forefront of the story and the romance a subtle backdrop. Still worth a read..so far anyway..

BD was not my fave, however I did enjoy it. I kind of went in phases - first part up to just before they came back from the honeymoon i loved. Then I hated the way the plot changed to Bella and the pregnancy. It kind of put me off till after the baby was born. Then it got interesting again. The end was a little bit of a letdown. But overall I was happy with how it was overall ended.

The only bit i did enjoy during the pregnancy was getting to know Jacob a little better. I really disliked his character when he turned up at the wedding, but grew to like him during his part especially the parts with him and Rosalie.

My fave character is definetly Edward. I like his back story, and the funny comments he makes. He's actually my favourite character from any book and after reading the 12 chapters of Midnight Sun, I actually think he's even more interesting. Alice and Emmett are probably a close second. Emmett really did have me laughing in the 4th book, and I love the way that Edward and Alice play off each other. My least fave would probably be Sam Urley. However I have mixed views on Rosalie, on one hand she's a complete....trying to phrase this nice..."Cow" towards everyone through all of the books (including Breaking Dawn" in my view), but the way her and Jacob were towards each other with the constant sniping in BD, she did make me laugh.

Breaking Dawn was my least favourite, but I must admit I preferred Eclipse and Twilight than New Moon (I did enjoy all of them overall though). I supose I loved Eclipse as you had the whole love triangle thing thrown in there, and with Twilight you were being introduced to the characters and the romance started. New Moon didn't really have anything wrong with it, I liked how Bella was made to sound more human in New Moon. I know alot of people said she went on and on etc, but it's really like that in real life when you "lose" that first love. But I must admit I missed Edward in it, and his character is my favourite, he's charming, funny, interesting etc. So maybe deep down thats why it was not my fave.

I have read the whole series of Twilight twice before and LOVE it and thought i better try and read some other books as this is getting silly. So I read "Noughts and Crosses" which someone recommended (even stated was much better than Twilight) and hated it.

So now after finishing Twilight for a third time, I thought I would try "The Host". This time I didn't really think about it, as I thought maybe my expectations for "Noughts and Crosses" were too high. However...I have only read about 60-70 pages and unlike Twilight which gripped me in one chapter, I am still completely bored/confused by the story, and am now considering ditching this book in favour of reading "New Moon" again.

Anyone else have problems reading this? Am i giving up too early?
