Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer - Restarting March 7th 2019

[rachel, x]

Join me and Jordan on the 4th to read the Twilight series:

[Jordan]

You're re-reading the first 4 as well, right?

Do you want to set a schedule per day or just read at our own pace?

[rachel, x]

Yeah, I read them al last year but I have been wanting to reread them for a bit since I just bought the extra Bree one.

I normally read at our my own pace. We can read it book by book though, if that's okay. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I read these years and years ago when they came out. I'm wondering what I'd think to them now! Did you enjoy them Rachel? I prefered the host ☺

The Host is a hundred million times better! I absoutlely love the Host. One of my all time favourties! Ian!! <3

Anyway, I read the twilight series on a dare. I honestly thought they were going to be so bad and I read them and didn't think they first one was really that bad. Then I read New Moon and it was better and I really liked Eclipse (Jacob!) and Breaking Dawn was okay too. Altogether I didn't really mind them that much at all.

What did you think of them? You should reread them with us! If you have time...

[Jordan]

Yeah that sounds good!

I agree about the host being better!

I loved The Host!! I really need to reread that too. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

they were okay, although the last one was a bit silly (view spoiler)[ including the babies name (hide spoiler)]
I might read them with you if I can fit them in, hopefully my review pile will be smalled by then (fingers crossed).
I l♡ve the host! Love, love, love! Read it two or three times and still love it ☺

[Jordan]

I want to re-read The Host as well, haven't read it since it came out.

[rachel, x]

I hated it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much about (view spoiler)[Jacob's imprinting. (hide spoiler)] That seriously made me cry with frustration! (view spoiler)[Jacob was my absolute favourite and while I didn't necessarily want him with Bella I cannot believe him imprinted on a CHILD. Gross! (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

The Host is just the best book! Loved it sooo much. Did you like the movie!?

[Jordan]

I still haven't seen the movie, I'll probably watch it after I've re-read it... was it good?

It wasn't too bad. Perfect casting surprisingly. I couldn't argue about a single actor/actress. It actually wasn't so bad. There were some parts though... :/ Pretty good though. :)

I thought that was weird too (view spoiler)[ a bit to much like paedophilia for me. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I still haven't seen the film. too busy reading ☺ I want to watch it so bad though!

That was my problem too! (view spoiler)[He was in love with her when Bella was PREGNANT WITH HER! That is a little damn creepy! (hide spoiler)]

Oh dear me, is it seriously a year since it came out?! how have i not managed to watch it in a year?

[Jordan]

Just by looking at them I can tell that they cast Ian and Jarrod perfectly!

Was that the thread for The Casual Vacancy? :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes ☺

They is seriously my favourite casted movie... if that makes sense!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Well I read the first chapter, not as bad as I remembered!

[Jordan]

I'll start this later today!

[Connie]

I'll start this later on :) it make take me a while to get through it though :P

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've been out all morning, and I'm reading two other books so I won't be very fast. I'm only at the end of chapter 2.

[Connie]

Twilight: Preface-Chapter 8. (view spoiler)[ This book is definitely not as bad as I remember it being. I actually am really enjoying it and I'm speeding through it. Huh...Maybe I do like Twilight and I just needed to re-read it. There are also a hell of a lot of details I've forgotten. I'm really really enjoying it. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ I know he does it for a reason, but I hate the way Edward lies to Bella. She's not an idiot! (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Chapter 9-16. (view spoiler)[ Okay, so I am really enjoying this. I have forgotten so much, my mind clouded by the film. The majority of the film is bull! And it skipped the most important parts. Not that I should be surprised, most film adaptations do. I think I'll finish this tonight! (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

17-End: (view spoiler)[ I just finished and honestly, I'm shocked at how much I enjoyed revisiting this world. I don't get why I thought the books were so bad...Hmm. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Sorry, GR was shut down yesterday for me. "over capacity" or whatever. So annoying! I read a few chapters but will start it again tonight. :)

[Jordan]

I only read the first few chapters as well!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm only on chapter 5.

[rachel, x]

Sarah wrote: "I'm only on chapter 5."

I have to read and tonight then I'll get into this. No offence but since this is a reread it isn't my highest priority! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yeah, I'm trying to finish a review copy, and I have the gallager girls book too.

[Jordan]

I'm definitely liking this more than I remembered I did when I read it in the past! Still hate the films but the book is pretty good.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I like it more than I did the first time too, although I haven't gotten to any sparkly bits yet!

[Connie]

I finished it last night, so I'll wait on you all because I have the Hunger Games to read

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Well the first eight chapters were alright, but I've stated to lose interest a bit now. (view spoiler)[ I found Jacob's story, and some of Bella and Edward's ask and answer session a bit boring. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

chapter six - (view spoiler)[This isn't so bad. I mean it don't like Bella that much and Edward is a little creepy but its okay. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've just finished! The book is definitely better than the film.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've actually started to like Edward a bit, as long as I don't picture him as the guy from the movie that is!

Yeah, I'm not fond of Robert Pattison at all. I especially don't find him attractive - even as Cedric Diggory in HP.

(view spoiler)[I'm 100% Team Jacob anyway. (hide spoiler)] <<- don't read unless you have read the whole series.

I refused to watch the movie.
