chesilbeach Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) I can't wait for paperback Breaking Dawn either! The hardback is just too cumbersome to carry around ETA: Sorry, meant to say earlier, that I wasn't let down, as I think my expectations were pretty low anyway. I knew it wasn't going to be Bella and Edward, or the Cullens, or even the wolves, so I wasn't expecting anything spectacular or revelatory. A nicely entertaining Saturday read Edited June 21, 2010 by chesilbeach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladybug Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I can't wait for paperback Breaking Dawn either! The hardback is just too cumbersome to carry around here here!! I have the first three in paperback with the red edges, I Love them! Hope they do the same for breaking dawn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Bad news: Meyer has stopped writing Midnight Sun because she is "burnt out of vampires" and it "feels like homework". I think this is a shame, I wanted that to be finished more than I wanted the Bree Tanner book. http://wp.me/pJBhQ-qL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hello, this is my first post! Also, I bought New Moon and Twilight about a week ago, and once I finish reading Percy Jackson (1) and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I am going to read them. Hope they are good.

Trust me, they're very good, and it'll be difficult for you to put them down. I just bought The Host yesterday, looking forward to reading it, but got a lot to get through from my "to read" pile!!!

I am exited for the paperback release of breaking dawn I plan to pre-order it tomorrow becuase its my favourite of the series and I find the hardback very heavy and I want to read it again. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 So, not only do they make us wait years for a paperback copy of Breaking Dawn meaning we've all spent extra cash on buying the hardback as there was no other option, and now want the paperback as it's easier to carry around and won't break your wrist holding it up, but just a few months down the line they'll be enticing us to try and spend more cash on the white version of the books!

Nollaig Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 See, I don't want these because I like the books. I want them because I happen to adore black, red, and white, and I also love pretty bookcovers. A white set, with red page edges with my black set would look awesome. Bugger.

lexiepiper Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Well I for one wont be buying the new covers, I mean there's already the black ones, then 2 different types of movie covers per book, it's getting ridiculous. Plus I think the white ones look horrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) I already have two copies of the first three books in the original paperback version - one for home and one for work to save me lugging them around in my bag when I'm re-reading them or in case I finish a book and don't have another one to start during my lunch break, but only one copy of Breaking Dawn in hardback, so have been waiting for the paperback to come out to complete my work set. Now though, I'm thinking along the lines of Nollaig about how pretty they'll look next to the black editions, or even mixed and matched - black Twilight, white New Moon, black Eclipse, white Breaking Dawn? But, truthfully, I know I won't be buying them, it's just too much of an extravagance. Edited August 18, 2010 by chesilbeach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KindleWorm Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I chose to starting reading the Twilight saga simply because some of my female colleagues at work would not stop talking about how great they are! I must admit I read the first three fairly quickly and got drawn into the love-lorn angsty world.... I have to confess that some months ago I gave up reading Breaking Dawn halfway through.... I'm not sure why - maybe I saw one of the films at this point and it put me off! Lol I will have to get back on the "Breaking Dawn" horse and try again one day soon... I don't like being beaten by books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraloves Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I havent read them yet, I have Twilight on my TBR pile, and will get round to reading it soon, but the hype of the books really put me off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Ok so I've just finished reading Breaking Dawn (I'm far behind everyone else I know) I loved the books so much but I'm sad to say Breaking Dawn didn't live up to my expectations. Here's why & I hope I don't spoil it for anyone. Don't read if you don't want to know ... 1. The way Bella was changed. 2. That all the problems that were against them worked out for the best far too easily. I was expecting some big fight between Edward & Jacob. 3. I found it a little too predictable. I guessed Jacob would imprint on Renesmee whislt reading Eclipse. I also guessed that if Bella turned into a Vampie she would have a special gift. 4. I felt once she had been changed the whole thing with Charlie being around her was skimmed over far too easily. 5. We never found out how her future would be with charlie. She won't ever age for one thing & yet he doesn't actually know she's a vampire as such. I still loved the books though. I was just expecting a little more from Breaking Dawn after reading about all of the problems that would face them. Cannot wait for the film now. Feel sad now I've finished reading them. I've got a book sat next to me to start reading but can't face it. Not after been so engrossed in these books for the last couple of months and getting to know the characters & events thats based arond them. I think Stephanie Meyer should do another book based on Jacob and Renesmee & their relationship in the futre. I for one would like to see how it worked out for them. x Edited October 7, 2011 by Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Are you all aware that Stephenie Meyer did a spin off novel from Twilight? It's about Bree Tanner who was the Newborn that appeared briefly in Eclipse and was killed. It's called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella. I'm guessing this is old news to you lot. I've only just finished reading the rest of them lol I'm going to read this when I get round to it. It gives an insight into the newborn life of vampires in a new, fresh way, other than in Bella's perspective. Anyone else read it. What did you think? x Edited October 12, 2011 by Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed 'The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner', it gave something else to 'Eclipse' it was sad at the end (but we knew that was going to happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I found the Bree Tanner novella every bit as bad as the rest of the series, but then, I didn't really expect any different and only read it because I'm a completist and a bit anal retentive that way. The only really positive thing I could say about it is that it's not very long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I really enjoyed the Twilight books but was not impressed by Bree Tanner, I felt there was little or no story, very disappointing.... There was talk of Meyer eventually releasing Midnight Sun which is Twilight from Edwards perspective. It was leaked onto the internet before completion so she eventually posted what she had finished onto her website (I presume it's still there) but I think she may lack the impetus to get it finished now.

Yeah that's right it's on her website. I haven't read it though. She says she won't carry on with it now thanks to someone leaking it. What a shame. I still think she should write about jacob & you know who ;-) I'd like to see it all work out for him in the end & we could read about them in the future & see how Bella has adapted & how they're all getting on. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I bought the first two books, Twilight and New Moon a couple of years ago I think it was, or something.. And a few months ago I was travelling and decided to bring some books to read, I brought them since I never got around to reading them, then I got really into them(: Until I watched the movies halfway through reading Eclipse, and got put off. I'll read it soon though. I can't wait for the Breaking Dawn movie, just wished I'd finished the books first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
