Twilight Saga

Okay...
I just finished reading the third book today (not too bad...all three in a week's time. Would've been quicker if I didn't have responsibilities...). I LOVED them just like everyone told me I would. I was quite obsessed with them actually. I am definitely an Edward fan but can feel for Jacob's side. Most of his characteristics tend to represent the warmer, happier, more ideal notions. However, this is a book to take you out of reality so bring on the fantastic, the outrageously romantic and the relationship where you seem to get everything you want. Besides, Edward does truly love Bella.

There is only one downside to having finished the books that I can come up with...the disappearance of the hope and anticipation of reading another chapter. It's a let-down at the end when your whole world has revolved around these star-crossed lovers. I am so looking forward to August for #4! It's like my Harry Potter craze all over again.

For now I'll be turning back to the short story volumes I have previously been reading. I have also really enjoyed this genre as well. I am a big fan of short stories. A couple of my favorites to recommend:
-The Man by Mel Dinelli (tense)
-Marjorie Daw by Thomas Bailey Aldrich
-The Lady, Or The Tiger by Frank R. Stockton
-A Gala Dress by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman
-The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant
-Where Love Is, There God is Also by Leo Tolstoy
-A Jury Of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell
-Verlie I Say Unto You , and Roses, Rhododendron by Alice Adams
-Rappaccini's Daughter and Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne

...and so many more...my list would get too long. Anyway...

I really enjoyed Stephenie Meyer's books. Thanks to everyone who recommended them to me! We'll talk more about them in August...too far away...
