I fell behind on my chapters during the week, but I’m pretty sure I’m caught up now. Or at least I’m close. I read the last two chapters of Twilight this morning and have moved on to New Moon. The next two paragraphs could be considered New Moon spoilery, so proceed with caution. I’m not going to give specific details, but I will talk about my reaction to certain chapters. Actually, it’s maybe a little more spoilery than I first planned, so don’t read the next two paragraphs if you haven’t read New Moon.
I’ve made it through just the first two chapters so far, and I’m already a mess. Chapter three is so much worse. It makes me sob like a bitch. I thought maybe this time it wouldn’t be so bad, because I’ve already read it a couple times, so I know what’s coming. Not so much. Instead, knowing what is coming makes the preceding chapters that much worse.
I started tearing up as soon as Carlisle started telling the story about changing Edward, and it kept up through the rest of the chapter. I had to stop reading because I couldn’t see through the damn tears, and the worst is still to come. Seriously, chapter three freakin’ kills me. Plus, once I’m done with chapter three, I have 300-ish pages of Cullen-less story, and that makes me so sad.
I’m taking a break now, and catching up on the past few weeks of the Savage Love podcast instead. From a virginal vampire to a sex-advice columnist who is encouraging rape fantasies and the use of butt plugs. Clearly I have varying interests.
As I was typing that, I friend of mine called to yell at me because she has a bunch of things she’s supposed to be doing, but instead she can’t stop reading Twilight. Yay! A successful conversion! She’s just about to read chapter 13, which, as I’ve already mentioned a couple posts back, is one of my favorite chapters of the entire series. She’ll be even more conversionier after this!
