I don't understand how people can hate him.
You mean people within the book, or fans of the series?Quote:

Fans of the series may hate Jake because he is standing between Bella and Edward simply being a happy couple, but hey, what would a good book be without conflict?
I love Jake because he causes conflict. What can I say I love the trouble makers. :DQuote:

Oh, sorry for any spoilers. although you probably won't see my appology until you've finished reading.
I meant fans of the series hating the character.
I'm embarrassed and completely suprised at myself but I have to come out of the woodwork :D We were at the bookstore and Twilight was on sale 40% off so I bought it.... Me, mother of two, no spare time, never passes up an opportunity to sleep, stayed up till 1 am reading most of it. I finished it during the boys' naptime the next day. That afternoon I had my husband take me to the bookstore so that I could get the next two books. It took me 3 days of reading every moment of the boys' naptime but I read all three books in 3 days!! That was about 10 days ago and I have now read each book twice.
**I'm hopelessly addicted!! ** I can't wait for Breaking Dawn, which will be a birthday present for me because it comes out on my birthday!! Until then I may be forced to make the leap and start poking around to see if I can find any decent fanfiction :) :D
By the way, the laundry that managed to pile up on my couch waiting to be folded is COMPLETELY your fault for making me consider reading these books :D
I FINISHED THEM!
and Loved them!
I cannot tell you how much I LOVE these books! It was just a random purchase one day, and I think I had bought AND finished them all in like three days, lol.
Not a big fan of Jake. What he and Bella had in New Moon was cute, but Bella is meant to be with Edward. I can't imagine the hurt Edward would feel if Bella chose Jake over him.
Personally, I hated New Moon. Too sad, no Edward. :p When I re-read them, I either skip New Moon entirely or read the good parts.
I cannot WAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT for Breaking Dawn!
Does anyone know if there will be any midnight release parties for Breaking Dawn? I need to get a Jake shirt. :p
Oooh, I hope so. If there's one in my area, my cousin and I are going for sure.
I need to make an Edward shirt. :p
Ohhhh nice Trailer :)

Edited to add that it isn't an official trailer but it is very nciely done :)
Anyone started, or reading, the Immortal Instruments series yes? City of Bones was out first, City of Ashes is 2nd, and City of Glass comes out in March 2009. It's also a dark fantasy, involving vampire, werewolves, warlock and all to a lesser extent, and not as friendly, and kids who are called Shadow Hunters, and are hunting the Downworlders (vamps, wolves, daemons....). It's got a lot of history in it, and you can see how they weave in the "golden cup/chalice" like in Arthurian legends. It's got romance in it, and it is tense at times, it's not a steamy or whatever as Twilight is, nor is there that animal attration that there seems to be there, but it City of Bones was good once I got into it. Going to pick up City of Ashes this week.
I don't know if anyone has posted it yet, but apparently the "Mediator" series by Meg Cabot is really good. 6 books. I guess its about some girl who falls in love with a ghost. Everyone I've talked to about Twilight has recommended these books. I ordered the first three, so I'll let you guys know!
I have all of them in our school library. They are NEVER on the shelves. If anyone is interested in reading over the summer (we stop our book circulation on May 15 to do inventory and such) let me know, and I can ship some out for your to read as long as your return them to me before school starts in August!Quote:
