I loved Eclipse!

I feel so warped being taken to Forks for 3 consecutive super-long books. It's been almost a week and I still can't snap out of that world. Once I think I am back to normal, I'll run into someone that has read all the books and get all wrapped up in it all over again.

Seriously, something is wrong with me! I relate to Bella on too many levels. I read Katie's post on Monday and thought, "Man, I can't write a review now! I've felt that kind of love for two people, having to choose one. She'll think I'm a total bimbo!" So there you have it. Once upon a time, I did have those deep torn feelings that Bella had for two special people (and similarly, they were both as understanding of my feelings for the other party - that good-bye scene with Jacob tore me up). Maybe that is why I am so warped by these books. It's taken me to a place I miss and don't want to think about at the same time. It's so surreal I can't even begin to explain myself.

So anyway, I appreciate Laurenda enlightening us on the "imprinting" question posed by Katie. I had D sitting next to me when we read Katie's post Monday night and we both agreed that he couldn't have imprinted on her, otherwise he would of had to let her know. It couldn't have been a secret anyway because Edward can read the pack's minds. He didn't keep any of Jacob's secrets from Bella.

And speaking of Edward, I am still in love with him... Yeah, he took a step back when being seduced and yeah, he let Bella figure out Jacob by herself, letting her go to La Push now and then (and later allowing Jacob to be the "space heater" inside her sleeping bag - YIKES). I don't think he was playing the manipulative game like Jacob was though. I seriously think Edward is just wise and mature enough to see the good intentions in people/creatures. Sure, he grew and matured because of the situations Bella put him in, but I think he would give the benefit of the doubt in any case. I doubt it has much to do with his age, but his ability to read minds. This in turn has made him a forgiving and compassionate character in this book

Thanks, Katie, for choosing this one. I didn't even start the original book assigned and it sounds like I didn't miss too much.
