So, in my Breaking Dawn review, I failed to mention this hilarious moment:
“I was more focused on the absolutely huge white bed in the center of the room, hung with billowy clouds of mosquito netting.”
This is Bella describing the conjugal bed waiting for her and Edward on their honeymoon. Clearly, Stephanie Meyer is tapping into every tween girl’s fantasies about the most perfectest virginity-losing bed evar!!!1! and so we get white bedding, mosquito netting, etc.
And now I present to you our bedroom, as decorated by Andreas:

I’ve always said Dre’s bedroom tastes were sort of that of a 9-year-old girl … but now Stephanie Meyer has proven it!

Drat. I can’t leave a reply to the book review, so I’ll leave one here.
I agree with everyone. OMG. I whipped through the first 3 books in 5 days and waited feverishly for the 4th. I am only on page 524 after 17 days. It is SO freakin’ hard to read this thing. I just don’t care anymore. I’ll finish it because I feel that I need to know what’s going to happen to these people, but for crying out loud enough already. The whole imprinting thing with Jacob was the proverbial straw and camel scenario. Ick and poo.
Somebody call Buffy. Stat!

Oh. My. God.
That is SO GENIUS.
One more thing about Breaking Dawn: I couldn’t get over Bella’s one description of what Edward was wearing and how unbelievably hot she found it. What was he wearing? Khakis and an oatmeal sweater. Apparently, beige is the new black.

I would love to have mosquito netting, but the cats would shred it to teensy tiny pieces.

I think it’s hilarious that Esme’s island wasn’t mentioned until they actually went there. Like wow, how convenient is that.

I can hear Adreas’ voice: “It’s not 9-year-old girl, Aiel, it’s Yoga Studio.”
