I’ll always have love for twilight because it brought out my love for reading. I was obsessed with it for a while, reread it like 10 times. I also wrote a fanfiction once and read them too.

BUT after reading a ton of books after, I realized just how terrible it really was. Edward and Bella are horrible and I hate them as characters. Bella is monotone and has no real redeeming qualities and Edward is a possessive, permantly sad, drama queen.

I always hoped she’d write something about the tribe. Their story was so much more intriguing than the rest of it.

She is. Shes writing a 3 book arc about Jacob and renesme

Ughhh. Nooooo. I hate that entire thing. It’s super creepy no matter how many times it’s pointed out that they have no romantic feelings for the child. It’s just super weird. I was thinking more along the lines of the begining of the Wolves, the tribe, their history.

@Kaycee could I have more info on this?

@Virginia She did an interview on the 27th of october. She plans to finish Midnight Sun, and release it. And she announced a 3 arc series for Jacob and Renesme’s story. She said it was a little awkward being so many years later but she has really felt the love from the fans and decided it was time to get back into it. I am sure you can find the interview on youtube! 🙂

Might sound stupid. What’s an arc?

Kaycee

@Virginia Its a version of the book that is pre-released, pre-published. So like its not completely finished or leaves room for changes in the future before hard release.

Kaycee

It gives the readers a chance to let her know what they think of it and what changes could be made, etc…

I am sure she is doing this because she knows movies are going to be made.

Yes, I loved it so much when I was younger!! It still has a special place in my heart ? because I have good memories of it. It was one of the few series I was really into! I don’t know how much I’d like it if I read it again now though, I’m a bit scared to ruin it for myself haha

I liked the series! I decided to read after I watched the first movie because I was wanting more of the story. I have to say books are better than the movie.

I loved it when I first read it in high school as an adult and after the movies not entirely but it is still my guilty read when I need an easy read

Twilight honestly got me through the biggest grieving time of my life. I was a teenager and just saw my best friend die and twilight kept me so distracted with how good I thought it was. I still play the movies whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed.

I don’t like it because of how terrible relationship between Edward and Bella is. However, I think that there is potential for a spin-off about something like Carlisle’s early years as a vampire.

@Virginia I loved every second of reading and rereading and watching the franchise.

I had some mixed emotions about it when I first read it in high school because vampires do not sparkle….that bothered me for a bit, but I gave it another chance by reading it again and loved it. It kept me engaged and I felt I could relate to Bella in little ways. Plus I thought some of the characters were interesting, (Alice & Jasper) it was different but overall I thought it was a good story. I finished reading it again today in my backyard underneath a tree on a beautiful day. I’m not ashamed to admit that it’s one of my favorite books. ? And I have a thing for Edward… ?

I enjoyed the first couple as I read them. By the end I was pretty done with the story. I don’t think I remember much about the books (the scenes from the movies have replaced everything in my brain) but I’d probably never take the time to re-read them. I actually prefer vampires more on the scary side.

Yep. People hate on Meyers’s writing style but I enjoy it. I also love the rainy, mystical atmosphere about it.

Nope. Not anymore. I gave them to my 12 year old. She didn’t like them either

There was so much hype over it and so many fans. So I read it without knowing anything else about it and was immensely let down. Just a run-of-the-mill romance novel. So disappointed but only because I was expecting so much more than that.

It’s no great literary work, but I was thoroughly entertained when I read them. Twilight only gets a lot of hate now because of how popular it got. People love to hate on successful things.

And it cracks me up when I see writers trashing the saga as “bad books.” Those books entertained and delighted MILLIONS—and at the end of the day, that’s what matters in a book.

I actually loved the books. I enjoyed the movies but the books were really detailed and well written. I actually love Stephanie Meyer’s other books too. The Host is one of my top favorite books of all time and I really like her new book, The Chemist. I read it this summer and it was fantastic. I love how her books make you think about things you have never thought of before. They really draw me right in!

Yes I love the books! First big fantasy/young adult story I ever got into (yikes, haven’t read Harry Potter yet but working on it) and I will always love it for being a sort of gateway into me being a reader. I personally also really like Meyer as an author so I will read whatever she puts out. People can hate all they want, but everyone has different reasons for loving a book or series.
