Breaking Dawn and Other Stuff

We are down to the wire, people!!! Four days until Breaking Dawn and I can't wait!

A few months ago, my friend Alisha asked me if I have ever read Twilight. A love story about vampires? No, thanks. I think I'll pass.

I happened to be in the book store Memorial Day weekend and found Twilight for something like $8.00. I figured if I hated it, I was only out $8.00. I took it home and found my brand of heroine. I love these books. There are some things that bother me about them, but for the most part I love them.









You've been warned...






Seriously. Stop reading if you don't want to know.






Things I'm waiting for in Breaking Dawn (in no particular order). Keep in mind this is pure speculation and should not be taken as Twilight gospel. I don't have an advanced copy and don't know for sure if this is how it's going to go...these are just my theories.

The wedding. Stephenie Meyer told Entertainment Weekly that there is going to be a wedding early on in the book. She's also said before that these characters are like her children. I don't think she'd be happy with Bella eloping. I'm betting she's going to have a fairy tale wedding.

I was right!!! The wedding was beautiful and she didn't even fall down the stairs.

Jacob's imprint. There have been a few comments made about Jacob not imprinting yet. This could be insinuating that he will find his gravity. He hasn't met Angela after his tranformation, which could be the key for his imprinting. I'm hoping he'll imprint on her. I don't think SM will leave him lonesome and unhappy. For one, she loves Jacob. Two, millions of Jacob lovers would be mad at her.

I was so wrong, I couldn't have been more wrong! But now, I love Jacob even more than I did before!

Phil. There's something fishy about Phil. Why haven't we met him yet? Even when Bella went to his house, he was conveniently gone. But Edward would have smelled him if he were a vampire, so I don't know what he could be.

What in the hell is going on with Renee and Phil? We barely got to know them in the saga. We are satisfied with the Charlie ending, but what about Renee?

The Volturi. A Cullen / Quiluete truce could have the power to take out the Volturi.

I was right, sort of. I would have loved to see a HUGE action scene...maybe next time. (Aw, come on. You know there's going to be a next time!)

The pawn / queen cover. I don't know a whole heck of a lot about chess. I do know that pawns are expendable and nobody is more powerful than the queen. Maybe Bella's destiny is to be the most powerful vampire. She's very intuitive. I think that her powers will be stronger than Edward's and Alice's. And I think that their involvement in her life is a mere stepping stone.

That's still up for debate. She was powerful. Having said that, I wouldn't want her power. Edward's would be nice. Then I'd be justified in slapping my husband upside the head every once in a while. "What? What did I do?" He'd say. "Oh, you know what you did!" LOL

The smell of blood nauseates Bella. I don't think she's going to have a hard time with the transformation, at all.

I'm beginning to think these books were a little predictable. There was a ton of surprises though. This was not one of them.

We know that the Denali clan are involved in the story. We will meet Tanya. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know. I hope it's after the wedding. Although, knowing Alice, she probably invited them.

That was one of my favorite parts of the book. Stephenie Meyer actually leaked a quote before the book was released. "Tanya: 'Ah, Edward. I've missed you.'" When I read that, I thought "That bitch!!!" But, Tanya's not so bad once she's been put in her place. But it makes me wonder what was said between Edward and Tanya before that made him so embarrassed to admit she had the hots for him?

I think that the Volturi will give Edward the ultimate ultimatum. They will do something that could kill Bella. Jacob will be there and will beg Edward to change her so that she doesn't die. When she's super-Bella, the Quiluetes and the Cullens will take down the Volturi.

Okay, so her transformation wasn't as dramatic as I thought it would be. I'm glad Jacob got to be there for it. And that kick administered to Rosalie's gut was awesome! Ya know, I still don't like her.

I'd like for Bella to be bitten during the honeymoon. There's something sickeningly romantic about that. I won't go into detail or anything. Grey's Anatomy once had an episode on how the endorphins or something released during sex act as a pain reliever. I've actually had doctors tell me that (don't ask). Maybe it won't hurt nearly as bad if Edward is as good as I think he is...

Grey's was right about the pain reliever. Apparently when done with a vampire, it also acts as a mind stopping drug. You would think that she'd be able to remember just how the bruises got there.
