NEW MOON

SYNOPSIS: In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. The "star-crossed" lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

MY VIEW: I was sad that Edward had left. Bella was heartbroken and lost until Jacob became more aware of her and she began spending more time with him. I really felt sorry for Bella and the way that she felt. Jacob was falling in love with her and she loved him as a FRIEND only and found comfort in being with him as it was a good distraction for her mind with kept drifting back to Edward. Her heart only truly LOVES Edward and she missed him terribly. There wasn't a day that went by that she didn't think of him and wish that he was with her.

TWILIGHT

Synopsis
Bella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Bella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Bella, the person Edward holds most dear. Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.

MY VIEW: Stephanie Meyer is a fantastic author! I didn't think I would like this type of reading but before the first chapter was through...I was hooked!! This was the best book I've read in a while that I could just relax and enjoy the story.

I was at the Salon and most of the girls working there were all sitting on their chairs when I came in and all of them had their nose in THIS book!! Yes it is THAT GOOD!! I went to the bookstore to pick up the next book in the series and it was "Twilight" mania all over the place. I guess I didn't pay attention very well to the fact that her latest book "Breaking Dawn" was releasing that day and so everyone there was waiting until the magical hour to purchase their copies. I'll wait for mine. But I have to say that people were costumed out very well!

I would say GET THIS BOOK and good night light!!

ON CHESIL BEACH

Synopsis
In 1962, Florence and Edward celebrate their wedding in a hotel on the Dorset coast. Yet as they dine, the expectation of their marital duties weighs over them. And unbeknownst to both, the decisions they make this night will resonate throughout their lives. With exquisite prose, Ian McEwan creates in On Chesil Beach a story of lives transformed by a gesture not made or a word not spoken.

MY VIEW:

I thought the book was good however it seemed to have drug out to long for me. This is my second Ian McEwan book to read. I did enjoy reading his book Atonement....actually I liked the movie better I think.
