is what I'm going through. The last couple weeks I re-read the Twilight series. Matt got me the books for Valentine's Day, and I resisted reading them until I had a little more free time because I get so wrapped up in the vampire/werewolf fiasco that I don't do anything else. (You know I'm pathetic when I get up to read my scriptures in the morning and instead I end up enthralled in Bella's latest catastrophe!)
Anyway, I finished the third book on Tuesday night and when I got home from work on Wednesday I felt totally bummed. Making dinner, cleaning, or even going to the gym just didn't have the same appeal as reading Stephenie Meyer's books. Any books you'd suggeset I read to get over my Twilight withdrawls?
After reading the books a second time, there's still one thing I don't understand:
How can so many people be rooting for Jacob to win Bella's heart? Yeah, I agree the Edward/Bella romance is a little overdone (her heart going crazy every time he touches her), but still. Jacob is selfish and immature, and he manipulates Bella. Edward, on the other hand, is always looking out for what's best for Bella.
What do you think? Who should Bella end up with?
Only three and a half months until August 2, when the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, is released! I can't wait!

On Motherhood
"You have nothing in this world more precious than your children. When you grow old...nothing will be so important as the question of how your children have turned out ... Do not trade your birthright as a mother for some bauble of passing value ... The baby you hold in your arms will grow as quickly as the sunrise and the sunset of the rushing days."
~ President Gordon B. Hinckley
Also On Motherhood
"Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones....
"You can’t possibly do this alone, but you do have help. The Master of Heaven and Earth is there to bless you. Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be."
~Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

I don't know Erin. There is just something about Jacob that draws me towards him. I can't help it. When does book 4 come out. Last night was fun, thanks for hosting.
Because Jacob's the underdog! And he's the real deal! Edward = obsessive and fake. I went through withdrawals after reading Twilight too! But then I rapidly turned into a Jacob fan during the 2nd and 3rd book, and now I'm just not into them anymore...until the 4th book comes out probably. Haha! Girl, you amaze me at how early you get up. I could never! But maybe going to bed at 1 a.m. during weeknights doesn't help! =)
Erin--- I'm with you! I'm an Edward fan!! I'm so excited for the 4th book in August and the movie in December! :) YAY for Edward! :)
Erin, I know what you are feeling. I think I have a Twilight sickness. I'm so excited about the movie comming out!! heres a great link http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1585900&vid=226476
Just to let you know that I loved these books. I was really not expecting them to be good and boy did I get into the story. I would totally say I am an Edward fan. He is totally more mature and responsible, it kinda reminds me of the guys I dated before Travis. The reckless, carefree Jacob type, but look who I ended up with, the wonderful protective Edward type. Anyway I really loved the books and I am having a hard time getting into any other books too. If you find any that are good let me know.
EDWARD...EDWARD...EDWARD! Enough said! Yea, I am totally with you on not understanding why anyone would root for Jacob. Thanks again for hosting recipe!
