At Midnight last night Breaking Dawn was released. Breaking Dawn is the 4th installment to the Twilight Saga! Personally, I'm very, very excited about this book coming out. The third book (Eclipse) left so many questions unanswered. So much is supposed to happen it is insane. If you haven't picked up the first three books you should! Just for some back information (I know Mel has covered a lot of this already), these books mostly surround Bella, who is an awkward speak when spoken to teenager, Edward Cullen a pale, gorgeous vampire and in later books Jacob Black, Bella's best friend. It's entertaining, wild, and the plots for each of the books are amazing. When you get done with one book you want to jump into the next one just to see what happens. SO!, go to the store and pick up the series, it is an easy read and a good way to kill some time!

Having a Purpose
I have been thinking about this for a while. We all go through the transition from being a kid to having responsibilities and being an adult. Every person takes a different path in life physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Some people have pressure to be a certain way from parents, friends, or even strangers. The world we live in pressures us to live, think, and act in a certain manner. But seriously, do we have an actual purpose in life? Leaving everything aside (parents, friends, influencing parties) what is our purpose?
Do we have a purpose other then to be ourselves in life, something like destiny? Or, do we have to force ourselves to be purposeful? While growing up it seems like we were always told that we have a purpose in life. A purpose? What does that mean?...To satisfy out needs, to make other proud, to help those in need around us? Or is our purpose to find ourselves as an individual and not necessarily to have an impact on other?
Edward Cullen makes me want to become a Vampire.
So I'll be honest with you, a novel revolving around the romance between a weakly teenaged girl (Bella Swan) and an immortal loner vampire (Edward Cullen) doesn't sound like my cup of tea.
But give or take a week, I too fell under the Twilight spell.
The first book in the Twilight saga is from Bella's point-of-view: moving to the gloomy yet quaint little town of Forks, WA. Her self-conscious persona and lack of fine motor skills relates to the awkward teen in all of us. She's never dated, never saw herself as gorgeous or out of the ordinary, just a regular, talk-only-if you-initiate type of chick.
And then came Edward Cullen, who could not resist her. Which has a double meaning (read the book to figure that one out -wink-). And I must praise Ms. Meyer for creating such a heartthrob of a fictional character. I swear her character descriptions are right-on, and if your a teenaged girl like myself, your heart will grown a little attached to Edward's "golden eyes," gentleman-like mannerisms, and badass style. He's just hot. And I feel so pathetic writing this.
I guess it's because I picture Robert Pattinson (played Cedric Diggory in HP, and starrs as Edward Cullen in the upcoming Twilight flick) while reading. And he's just, well - gorgeous of course.
Anyways, Twilight is a super easy read. The size may be intimidating, but if it takes your more than 5 hours to read the book, I'm declaring you illterate.
So if you haven't got anything else to do, and are tired of those That 70's Show and Sex and the City re-runs, I suggest you sit yourself in the nearest Barnes and Noble and read this book along with the other teen girls, middle-aged moms and goths.
But seriously, Love + Suspense + Edward Cullen = a grand time for all.
