Though this should go without saying, CUT YOUR BREAKING DAWN SPOILERS, PLZKTHX.

My book won't arrive until the 6th and I'd like to remain spoiler-free because the lulz will be lulzier that way.

Then one of her own arrows hit a man, and another hit a Narnian wolf, who had, it seemed, joined the enemy. But she had been shooting only for a few seconds when she had to stop. With a flash of swords and of the Boar's tusks and Jewel's horn, and with a deep baying from the dogs, Tirian and his party were rushing on their enemies, like men in a hundred yards' race.

I TAG EVERYONE.

Technically, the closest book was Eclipse, but vivier@LJ said no Twilight. :D

My DSL is being such a whore. It's gotten me behind on stuff and I'm cranky. Added to my current bummed feelings re: onlineish things, I am just very BLARGH.

In other news, finished all three Twilight books this weekend and will likely detail my love/hate later when I have more time. Alice is my favourite character, hands down, though second would have to go to Carlisle. Despite everything I could say I dislike, I ultimately could not resist buying my own copies of them (though I don't like getting hardbacks and only the first was in paperback).

Saw Prince Caspian yesterday, which was an excellent, gorgeous movie I think anyone can enjoy and that, ultimately, I loved, but it wasn't my Prince Caspian and I wish I had known they changed so much before I went into the theatre.

MA, I'd like to thread something, if you're game? I was thinking maybe a Voldie summons/Dark Mark burn situation that would given people something to react to when those with the Mark felt it? I need something to get them going since I've sucked bad there lately. :/

Oh my lord, the delicious, horrible, dazzling CRAAAAAAAAAAAAACK.

I was fully prepared to dislike this book given the reviews I've seen, because I couldn't imagine making it through the whole thing if the writing was entirely like the sections I saw, let alone with the other problems like characterization and plot. In fact, starting reading it, I was certain I'd give up pretty quickly.

I WAS SO WRONG. I couldn't stop reading, and really, I don't even understand whyyyyyyyyy. There were times I wanted to throttle Bella for her clear detachment to her life (though, that's often a fault of first person, at least to me) and Myers for drilling Edward's SUPER SPECIAL WONDERFULNESS into the reader's head like we're a bunch of morons, but there were other parts I just loved. Like, how you love the worst possible junk food you can consume, you know it's really, really bad for you, you know if you have too much your stomach will hurt like hell, but you eat it anyhow.

That said, there were some cute moments in it, and though it had the whole 'typical bad romance novel' thing going for it, sparkling and dazzling or not, I happen to be a romance novel junkie, no matter how bad it is, so it works for me as a horribly guilty pleasure.

I finished it last night and I'm reading New Moon now. Once more it's a case of finding myself annoyed at the beginning, but then getting sucked in.

In conclusion, missmegan, you are a horrible enabler and this is all your fault.
