Grace and I.

Feel free to join us!

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I will most likely join you guys. I just have to make sure I can get a copy.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay! I hope you can Hannah!!

[Caron]

I finally found the book at my local bookstore! I'll join you guys for this one. Please and thank you.

I'll join. Just got to get a copy of the book

[Caron]

This book is getting so much hate and it's almost turned me away a few times but I have to remember that other peoples' ideas are not my own. And I'm super curious.

[Becky]

Is there a way to get just the ONE book? - Amazon only offers the combo pack.

Anyway - I'm in too!

[Faith]

I'm joining! I just got the book!!! Sooo excited!

[Maddie]

There's another twilight book????

[Caron]

It's a genderswapped version of twilight. The males are now females and vice versa. I heard that some things are changed but it's mostly the same.

I don't think so. I just bought my copy from Wal-Mart and it was a combo pack.

TY!

[Maddie]

Wow that sounds so cool! XD I might have to read it.

[Farren]

I'll join in. Got a free copy (or else I don't think I would read it)

[Vicki]

Question: I have only read book one so far, but I'm about to start book two (late). Does that matter do you guys think?

Also, the ratings are pretty bad so I'm a bit reluctant to read over 700 pages for a but with only over 2 stars, BUT with all these buddies in this group I just CAN'T be left out! LOL

So I'm in too! (If you guys think it doesn't matter that I've only read book 1).

[Caron]

@Vicki It doesn't matter that you've only read Twilight since this book is twilight rewritten. Not the entire saga. And the actual book is just over 300 pages. The rest is an edited version of Twilight. So really it's 2-in-1 :)

[Vicki]

Oh! Okay then! :) Thank you for that info!

[Caron]

You're welcome.

[Becky]

I need to go to my WM tonight to see if they have it!

[Leah]

I will read this with you too.

[Becky]

Gonna be a great crowd - and who can blame us? We can either rejoice or complain together!

[Grace]

super excited for this!

[Becky]

Got my copy this evening at WM. I just wish it was available as a separate book, cuz I don't want this huge volume on my book shelf, lol!

[Vicki]

Becky, was it cheaper at WM than Amazon?

[[deleted user]]

I paid $16 something after taxes so it wasn't cheaper for me.

[Megan]

If I can get a hold of the book I'd join! I've never read Twilight (only seen the movies) but would love to see how she played with gender roles.

[Rcmarcks]

Count me in! I am going shopping tomorrow and if i cant find it i will order it from amazon.

[Vicki]

I just ordered my book online from Amazon. The hardback is $13.19 since I'm a Prime Member.

I'm going into this read being skeptical after seeing the reviews. More 1 stars that anything else on Amazon AND on Goodreads.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I will be reading this for sure. I just bought my copy today.

When it comes to the ratings I wouldn't worry most of the people that have been rating it haven't actually read it. Most of them are like I hate Twilight so I'll just give this book 1 star.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I noticed the exact same thing Hannah!

I'm going into this pretty excited.
I loved Twilight. :)

[cali 𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧]

I can't wait to read it! I recently ordered it online, hopefully will be delivered soon :) I'm just happy to reread the awesome world of Forks and vampires and let's not forget the infamous shirtless Jacob now changed into a woman (that'll be hilarious).

[Vicki]

I just got the hardback and it's so pretty! I didn't realize that there was a cover on both sides! It's awesome. But I JUST finished reading Twilight and paid $1 for it at a book fair last year.

[Becky]

Vicki wrote: "Becky, was it cheaper at WM than Amazon?"

I paid $15.18 before tax... so no, not cheaper.

Agree 100%!!!!

[Vicki]

I have to admit that I am cynical but only because of the reviews, especially the high percentage of 1-star reviews. But hopefully we'll disagree! LOL

[Caron]

My book just arrived and it's a lot lighter than I thought it'd be (considering that it's a hardcover)

I'm a bit upset because the plastic wrapping ruined the dust jacket. But it's okay, It's not totally visible to someone who's not a book lover.

[Liv]

I hope to get my copy at christmas. =)) So I won't start reading this year but I am curious what you guys think about the book.

[Drishti]

I'll join!! Just ordered my copy. Hope it arrives soon. :-)

Good luck, Drishti!

Ugh, I hate it when something like that happens.

[Caron]

I'm starting this now. *Deep breaths* Here we go.

[Caron]

Through Chapter 1.

This chapter felt so long!

(view spoiler)[Okay, so I'm liking Beau. I sometimes imagine Bella but then I catch myself. I accepted Edythe almost immediately.

One thing that's slightly annoying (but can be overlooked) is the constant reminder of the genders. 'His hair was in a bun, but it was manly bun.' and 'They were all beautiful but there was nothing feminine about it' - paraphrasing here.

Also I nearly rolled off my bed laughing at Bonnie Black. I can't imagine it. Sorry, that's going to be a tough one to get around. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'll be starting tomorrow, Caron (it's still 11/1 for me)

I hope chapter 1 was a good long and not a bad long :)

It wasn't bad. Nothing to worry about. I don't read hardcovers usually so I think that's affecting my judgement.

[Sharlene]

I'm joining! Got my copy yesterday.
Can't wait to read it & see what everyone thinks.

[Vicki]

Let me make sure...we are only reading the apple cover side of the book, right?

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

We are reading the green side.

[Vicki]

Thanks, Hannah :)

[Grace]

i just want to make sure are we doing this by the chapter together? super stoked to start this! Im not gonna lie I read a few pages when i first got my copy. i just couldn't resist!

[Caron]

I finished 2 chapters already but then I realised the time and went to bed.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I will be starting later today :)
still need to get my copy! lol
