I didnt like this book that much to be honest. Bella was extra whiny and feeling all worried every chapter it got annoying. This book also didn’t have a lot of action in it which made it boring.Â
Bella doesnt know who the hell she wants. She wants Edward to change her to vampire now that she has graduated from high school and she keep pushing that. But at the same time she’s all Jacob face saying she loves him. Its confusing and annoying as hell.
This was a filler book for the series a very boring book to add to the series. I also dont like the whole imprinting thing, it seems wrong especially when it’s done to a child.Â
Bella wants to throw her normal human life away for a vampire she met only two years. It makes no sense but I can NOW see why this series is so disliked…lol. i forgot about a lot things since this is a re read after over 10 years.
Wasnt the best, was okay but I got through it. Thankfully.
The second book was as I remembered, it was much better than the first book. Bella is whiny though and just seem to not understand. But I have to remember this series is a insta love paranormal romance. So there is lots of things that are cheesy.
But overall I enjoyed this one. The reader got more of insight of Jacob Black and family and why he wants to protect Bella from the Cullens.
In this one we met with the Valturi family and saw how their powers work. While I reading all i saw was Jane hurting Edward without even touching him, especially the clip from the movie. The Valturi family is actually my favorite i dont know why, I guess seeing another vampire family with so much power and how they rule over others.
It was a little annoying to see Bella act out because Edwars went away. She was doing stupid stuff just to hallucinate and hear Edward’s voice. I understand love can hurt but Bella took it to another level.
However I still enjoyed this one it was better than Twilight so I’m going to continue on in the series…
This is the first video in my mental health check in series. This series is where I do open candid vlogs about how I been feeling mentality and also sharing how my mental state has been during that day or week. I think its important to do a check in from time to time. I’m mostly doing this series for myself but hopefully I can help someone in the long run.

Synopsis:
Told in two distinct and irresistible voices, Junauda Petrusâs bold and lyrical debut is the story of two black girls from very different backgrounds finding love and happiness in a world that seems determined to deny them both.
Trinidad. Sixteen-year-old Audre is despondent, having just found out sheâs going to be sent to live in America with her father because her strictly religious mother caught her with her secret girlfriend, the pastorâs daughter. Audreâs grandmother Queenie (a former dancer who drives a white convertible Cadillac and who has a few secrets of her own) tries to reassure her granddaughter that she wonât lose her roots, not even in some place called Minneapolis. âAmerica have dey spirits too, believe me,â she tells Audre.
Minneapolis. Sixteen-year-old Mabel is lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling and trying to figure out why she feels the way she feelsâabout her ex Terrell, about her girl Jada and that moment they had in the woods, and about the vague feeling of illness thatâs plagued her all summer. Mabelâs reverie is cut short when her father announces that his best friend and his just-arrived-from-Trinidad daughter are coming for dinner.
Mabel quickly falls hard for Audre and is determined to take care of her as she tries to navigate an American high school. But their romance takes a turn when test results reveal exactly why Mabel has been feeling low-key sick all summer and suddenly itâs Audre who is caring for Mabel as she faces a deeply uncertain future.
Junauda Petrusâs debut brilliantly captures the distinctly lush and lyrical voices of Mabel and Audre as they conjure a love that is stronger than hatred, prison, and death and as vast as the blackness between the stars.
OTHER BOOKS I WANT TOÂ READ DURING MONTH:
Synopsis:
Tight: Lately, Bryan’s been feeling it in all kinds of ways . . .
Bryan knows what’s tight for him–reading comics, drawing superheroes, and hanging out with no drama. But drama is every day where he’s from, and that gets him tight, wound up.
And now Bryan’s friend Mike pressures him with ideas of fun that are crazy risky. At first, it’s a rush following Mike, hopping turnstiles, subway surfing, and getting into all kinds of trouble. But Bryan never really feels right acting so wrong, and drama really isn’t him. So which way will he go, especially when his dad tells him it’s better to be hard and feared than liked?
But if there’s one thing Bryan’s gotten from his comic heroes, it’s that he has power–to stand up for what he feels . . .
Torrey Maldonado delivers a fast-paced, insightful, dynamic story capturing urban community life. Readers will connect with Bryan’s journey as he navigates a tough world with a heartfelt desire for a different life.
Synopsis:

As summer comes to an end, Tai canât wait for Mila to return from spending a month with her aunt in the suburbs. But both girls are grappling with secrets, and when Mila returns sheâs more focused on her upcoming dance auditions than hanging out with Tai.
Paula Chase explores complex issues that affect many young teens, and So Done offers a powerful message about speaking up. Full of ballet, basketball, family, and daily life in Pirates Cove, this memorable novel is for fans of Ali Benjaminâs The Thing About Jellyfish and Jason Reynoldsâs Ghost.
With her daughter to care for and her abuela to help support, high school senior Emoni Santiago has to make the tough decisions, and do what must be done. The one place she can let her responsibilities go is in the kitchen, where she adds a little something magical to everything she cooks, turning her food into straight-up goodness. Still, she knows she doesnât have enough time for her schoolâs new culinary arts class, doesnât have the money for the classâs trip to Spain â and shouldnât still be dreaming of someday working in a real kitchen. But even with all the rules she has for her life â and all the rules everyone expects her to play by â once Emoni starts cooking, her only real choice is to let her talent break free.
This was a good novel! It actually had a mix of what most teen mom’s today that are in school and working and taking care of their kid(s) go through. Emoni’s only dream is to cook in a nice restaurant. She love to cook and she like to add her own touch to her food.Â
With her grades almost slipping and taking care of her daughter and working part-time she feels an elective like culinary art’s won’t help her..
This story shows that no matter your situation you can get what you want from life with determination and hard work. Emoni worked hard and never gave up even when they where people telling her to drop out because she was pregnant.
I loved this story loved it even more that I listened to it on audiobook. Elizabeth Acevedo is Queen and I’ll read anything she publishes. Great story!! 5 đ
