Summer Reads -- Stephenie Meyer

6/12/10  -- This is my Good Reads review:

  When we first read Eclipse,my teenage daughter and I agreed that we wished we knew more about Bree.  Thanks, Stephenie, for taking care of that.  Yes, Stephenie, in a way it was hard to read, knowing that "it doesn't end well for her," but the story satisfied many of those wonderings we'd experienced concerning Bree.
     Just as Riley started leading the "newborns" to battle against the Cullens I paused to reread that portion of  Eclipse.  Since it had been awhile since the last time I'd read it, I think the memory-refreshing  helped, and would recommend that strategy. 
     Now that I'm done, I'll let my daughter have the book and I'll be interested in what she has to say about it.  I must get her on goodreads.

Vampires and Werewolves!

Yes, I have read Breaking Dawn. I finished it within 20 hours of when we bought it just after midnight on the night of its release. And, yes, I enjoyed it (I, too, love Edward Cullen), but see my "disclaimers" below:

Meyer, Stephenie -- Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn [I recommend these books only with these stipulations: 1) a parent should read them before or as the student is reading them (Most moms get hooked on the books, just as I have), 2) a girl reader should first promise to never let a boy into her bedroom unless he is with a moving crew or is her little brother, 3) a girl reader should first promise never to date anyone she can't tell her parents all about, 4) a girl reader should first promise never to date a "dangerous" man, 5) any reader needs to realize that there is no real person who has the willpower of an Edward Cullen. So don't put yourself in "dangerous" situations!]
