Only logging this because the book I'm reading isn't available... and I need to meet my goal

I love this series sm. I wanna read it to my kids some day

So many thoughts... saying "I love you" after, what, 2 dates? Edward tasting Bella's tear? Edward always placing his lips to her neck. I played Bella's Lullaby in my head when they were at the piano - love that song. Carlisle is British?!

"I smelled his cool breath in my face. Sweet, delicious, the scent that made my mouth water. It was unlike anything else. Instinctively, unthinkingly, I leaned closer, inhailing.
And he was gone, his hand ripped from mine. In the time it took my eyes to focus, he was 20 feet away, standing at the edge of the small meadow, in the deep shade of a huge fir tree."

Bells' first impression of Jacob is that he's pretty, young, and would make a really great, easy friend. Ouch. And why did she have to flirt with him (use his early teen emotions) and get his hopes up? :(

"I'm seventeen"
"You don't seem seventeen."

This and the way he drags her to his car... it's giving abusive creep 😬 and miss Bells just keeps biting her lip and swooning anytime he speaks or they meet eyes 🙄 (but I'm here for it 🤪🤭)

Wow is this girl depressed.

I already love the movies, but after reading,

"Please?" He breathed, leaning toward me.

I get it.

“…many mortals will fight for any cause as long as they are paid.

But don’t these mortals see who they’re working for? Don’t they notice all the monsters around them?

I do not know how much they see through the Mist. I doubt it would matter to them if they knew the truth. Sometimes mortals can be more horrible than monsters.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself…

“There’s so much darkness in Ember… It’s not just outside, it’s inside us, too. Everyone has some darkness inside. It’s like a hungry creature. It wants and wants and wants with terrible power. And the more you give it, the bigger and hungrier it gets…

For a moment, she felt sorry for the mayor. His hunger had grown so big it could never be satisfied... It made him forget everything else.”
