I thought so!! Plus for $20 I can take anything I don't want to read to the used book store and trade them...

:D Moving on up.

All of them were really good! I don't know what it is, but her writing style is just really great, that it really pulls the reader in! If the books weren't this good, I probably wouldn't have joined the site just to talk about something I really didn't like..

*Nods* yeah. Some people join this site to let out some resentment towards books, as well as discussing books they do love. It's good for everyone. :D

Totally! Although it's not possible for me to resent a book, unless it's school-related...
And u were right, Melzz. Moon Called was a cool read, although it wasn't really on vampires :) .And i guess u liked Mac? I'm halfway through Blood Bound now.It's goin good so i guess i'll read the rest of Mercy books now just because.D'you plan to read the rest ?

Definitely, Sharda. Yeah, Mac was cool. We were also both from the same little town, Naperville. I think I would have liked him more if he had just stuck around. :(

lol...But now i'm on the 4th book.U know it's like her troubles r never over.Too bad the 5th book hasn't come out yet.

Omigawd Sharda, are you a super fast reader, or do you just spend a lot of your time on books? Yesterday afternoon you said you were on book two, last night it said you were on book three, now your on book four (probably finished by the time you read this)? I can't even get my hands on the other books. Share with me your power O'wise one.

Melzz-
have you read the midnight sun manuscript??

Yes, and I loved it.

same here!
a little weird that alice saw bella and her best friends and immortal!

Yeah, I never understood why Edward had such a chip on his shoulder until then.

it cleared up so much,
which reminded me that in the movie,
when bella meets the family,
alice hops down from the tree with jasper,
and she hugs her and says
you do smell good
and then she says
bella and i r going 2 b great friends.
so, that was probably from midnight sun, as they wouldn't have know about it from anything else,
bella wasnt very close with alice like edward is
so they didn't really hang out in the book together,
more in the last books...

Yeah. Did you know that Rob was one of the people Stephenie gave the Midnight Sun draft to? He used it while playing Edward.

Cool!!
Where did you find that out???

DId u hear that he went all psycho when he got the part and isolated himself to get into the role?

wowza!!!!
well,
somebody's gotta go crazy,
guess it was just him!!!

yeah apparently when they started filming his co-stars were worried about his mental health.
Stanislavski would be proud

haaha!!!!

have you seen the Haunted Airman?
I wonder what he did to get into that role

I found it out when I read Twilight The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion. Also, Rob talked about the draft during their .

He didn't go "psycho", Catherine Hardwicke hired him, and told him how to prepare for the role. He was required to learn how to "live and think like Edward Cullen", so she had him spend most of his time isolated physically to know how Edward must have felt mentally. She also had him write "Letters to Carlisle", in the voice of Edward, asking him "why he was changed", so he could feel that depression.

o, well that a good acting mechanism (if that makes any sense)

Its still kinda psycho, I read about it in his biography and it made it sound like he decided to do it himself.

Currently reading RED PROPHET, Orson Scott Card, sequel to the delightful fantasy SEVENTH SON.

I just started Bluestar's Prophecy by Erin Hunter.

Rebecca wrote: "Its still kinda psycho"

In your opinion, many people have done crazier things for roles.

I guess and i am a fan of Stanislvski

I think his method may have been the one Rob was using, but he must have done it too much, because Rob came out as too eccentric in the film.

I'm on this Neil Gaiman trip so I've been reading all his books. I am now reading "American Gods"

Has anyone heard about the second part to the hunger games trilogy?

Im reading The Lovely Bones it is pretty good so far kind of creepy

I like books about people learning in the afterlife. THE MERCY OF THIN AIR by Ronlyn Domingue has an older average reader range than THE LOVELY BONES, and to me it was even better.

lol!!!! Yah. i finshed bk 4 soon after. i'm a really really fast reader and i can analyse the book even though i read it so fast.i guess it's a result of studying in school.it isn't called the best school for nothing.they slaughter us there.Right now i'm on lord of the rings 1, but it's moving so slow! i think im gonna quit reading it and admit the movie was better.And i also think im gonna start reading the nightworld series as soon as i can get my hands on it...

haha!
WOW!!
How'd you like the Twilight series??

Sharda,

I'll join the 'shudder party'. But i hav it worse here.my longest vacation is usually less than 2 months!And to make this summer worse, i hav to go to school this month for some external exam results.Bleh.

Emilia wrote: "Sharda,

Of course i'll recommend it! Do u really hav to ask? im obsessed, for crying out loud.And i cant go into the million reasons why i liked it either.But for a few...i was forever obsessed with vampires(ask Melzz, she's my book witness) so naturally i read it as soon as i found out.Edward i love cuz he's like an amazing person in so many ways and i'm a sucker for romance too.the plot was,like, totally captivating cuz u wanna know wat happens next so bad that ur forced to walk around with the book in one hand and try to do chores with the other(not an easy task but it's worth it to me).And about a million other reasons......
-grins- :D

I just can't stop reading them. Hey I am gonna add you ok?

k.sure.i guess we wont be twilight lovers if we could bear to finally put it down, would we?

exactly. I always come back to twilight. Twilight is the reason I began reading again. it is wierd but after I read Twilight I just started reading. maybe it was because I was passing the time umtil I could buy the next book. hehe!

Sharda wrote: "ask Melzz, she's my book witness)"

Yeah, a whole shelf deticated to vampires. That's detication!

Giselle wrote:"after I read Twilight I just started reading."

Same here, Giselle. Twilight got me hooked on reading, it's the reason I joined this site, and of course this group. ;)
