I miss pre-Edward Bella, she was actually funny and at least minorly interesting.

Favorite Thing: The cover?
Least Favorite Thing: HOW CAN I PICK JUST ONE???
I’m so mad at this book. The ending was so stupid and the plot just dropped off into the void and the whole premise was just a lie and I’m pissed.

Favorite Thing: It’s just so sweet…
Least Favorite Thing: Why did we have keep stopping to describe the scenery in excruciating detail? Like it was quaint for a minute, but then it just got exhausting. I get it, it’s pretty, calm down.
I finally read Anne of Green Gables! I’ve been saying I would read it for like a year and just not reading it because I suck. But it’s finally happened! It took me a minute to get into, but once I did I really enjoyed it. Also the ending hurt me, that was some cruel shit.

Favorite Thing: Such a cool magic system!

Favorite Thing: Fred
Least Favorite Thing: Surprisingly, I can’t think of anything.
So I was pretty sure my main problem with Twilight was the romance, but now I’m so incredibly certain. I actually kind of liked the premise of Twilight from Bree’s POV. I didn’t even mind the sparkly thing that much.

Favorite Thing: I can’t think of anything…
Least Favorite Thing: Just wasn’t very interesting…
I hate to give this 2 stars because this wasn’t a badly written book by any means. It’s just that it didn’t really hold my attention or excite me in any way. I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was that kept it from being all that interesting, but I definitely wasn’t very interested.

Favorite Thing: That glamour trick
Least Favorite Thing: The ending felt anticlimactic…
The ending was so close to being badass and then they just let it go and wrapped it all up with an epilogue. Is this going to keep happening with books I read?
