So I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do for this blog, apparently we're supposed to write about a topic while writing about the book which doesn't seem too complicated but I
really dont get it. So I might do this wrong(which is really bad saying its already late...). Anyways, the book I just finished reading was Midnight Sun, which is Twilight from Edwards perspective( if you havent read the original, it's from Bella's side). I'm guessing I can write my topic about the Twilight saga in general and Stefanie Meyers, and if I wasn't supposed to do that I'll probably be pretty mad saying that this is the second time having to write this because my computer just randomly shut down without a warning( and no, it wasn't because it was out of battery). Wow, I just realized I'm using a lot of parenthesis(which by the way I do a lot, it makes my english teachers really mad but I can't seem to stop). And now I really need to start writing about my topic because this is getting really long. Ok, at first, I thought the Twilight series sounded so stupid and I refused to read them( this was at the time around 6th grade I think that everyone was freaking out about them). I refused to read them because for some reason I
hate when people make a big deal about movies and books and stuff(which is why I never saw Avatar or wore ankle socks-that probably sounds really ugly but at my old school everyone would wear them- or topsiders when everyone else did...by the way this is what my seventh grade science teacher called rebelling for the sake of rebelling-she wasnt refering to this she was refering to me hating walking at the pace of other people which is something else kind of weird about me). It was only in spite of my mom(she hates everything witchcrafty and stuff) and a lot of convincing from my freinds I read it. And once I did( this is going to sound really freaky/nerdy/creepy) it seriously changed my whole world. not literally, but still. It was the best book I had ever read, and I used to read a lot so that's pretty big. You're probably wondering why I read so much (Actually, you probably aren't but im going to tell you anyways), when I was younger I had some serious OCD problems and one was I had to read everynight for like 2 hours before I went to bed(which seriously messed with my sleeping). I probably shouldn't tell you the other things because they get even creepier and you'll think I'm physco but there was a phase where I would have to do a sudoku everynight before bed( and I
hated sudoku so it was miserable) and one phase(also before bed) I would have to constantly build puzzles. I was a pretty weird kid( they would call it quirky but that was just a nice way of saying I'm a freak). So back to the book, I guess it actually did change my life in a way because after that I could never read before bed because I knew no book could amount to the four I had read in the last week(it was probably more than a week but still, I read them freakily fast). Even if I tried, no other book could grab my attention so I got out of the habit of reading which according to my parents was bad but they really didn't get how AMAZING Twilight was. I went on to read all the books 2 more times and then I heard about this one. It had never come out because someone put it on the internet before Stefanie Meyers was finished and she got really mad and didn't finish it but it's still online so I read it there. It was even better than the Twilights, which I NEVER thought could happen. So by now, everyone who's reading this probably thinks I'm one of those pathetic girls who all they think about is team Edward or team Jacob(by the way I'm Edward based only on the books but Jacob based on the movie), which
I'm not but I still am pretty obsessed with those books, which I know makes me a dork,but still. So Stefanie has two more books, The Host and the Short Second Life of Bre Tanner which both I
want to read but apparently The Host is like really gruelsome and stuff which I really can't deal with(anything remotely scary I absolutely hate). I still haven't gotten back into the habit of
reading so I haven't been able to read the Bre Tanner book or re-read the saga but I do want
to. That's kind of why I took Reading for Pleasure but I wanted to read other books because I didn't want to be that girl reading Twilight(and I know i did read Midnight Sun but it was online so not many people really knew what I was reading). So I'm sure I'll someday get around to reading for fun again but until then I can't wait until I read The Short Second Life of Bre Tanner.
