CAN YOU SAY A QUICK PRAYER?

I frequently find new blogs that I read...yea I know kind of wierd...but anyway I do and I've recently come across this one. This little 5 month old is fighting for his little life right now. Please keep this precious little guy in your thoughts and prayers. Do I know these people? Well, no but no family should have to feel the pain that this one is feeling right now. "Stellan, I'm thinking about you and your family"

NEW MOON BOOK REVIEW


WHAT IT'S ABOUT:

(taken from Doubledaybookclub.com)
For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with this impossibly handsome vampire is more dangerous than this ordinary girl could have ever imagined. Edward has already rescued her from the clutches of an evil vampire, but will he be able to resist his own bloodlust? As their relationship threatens all that is dear to them, the star-crossed lovers realize that their troubles may just be beginning. Is their love worth the cost?

(and this one is from Amazon.com)
Recovered from the vampire attack that hospitalized her in the conclusion of Twilight (Little, Brown, 2005), Bella celebrates her birthday with her boyfriend Edward and his family, a unique clan of vampires that has sworn off human blood. But the celebration abruptly ends when the teen accidentally cuts her arm on broken glass. The sight and smell of her blood trickling away forces the Cullen family to retreat lest they be tempted to make a meal of her. After all is mended, Edward, realizing the danger that he and his family create for Bella, sees no option for her safety but to leave. Mourning his departure, she slips into a downward spiral of depression that penetrates and lingers over her every step. Vampire fans will appreciate the subsequently dour mood that permeates the novel, and it's not until Bella befriends Jacob, a sophomore from her school with a penchant for motorcycles, that both the pace and her disposition begin to take off. Their adventures are wild, dare-devilish, and teeter on the brink of romance, but memories of Edward pervade Bella's emotions, and soon their fun quickly morphs into danger, especially when she uncovers the true identities of Jacob and his pack of friends. Less streamlined than Twilight yet just as exciting, New Moon will more than feed the bloodthirsty hankerings of fans of the first volume and leave them breathless for the third.

WHAT I THOUGHT:
OH MY GOD I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! This book kept me turning the pages just like Twilight did. I went from loving Edward (who doesn't) to seriously hating him, then to loving Jacob, back to really hating Edward to finally thinking that there is just something seriously wrong with Bella. Stephenie Meyer has done another fantastic job with this book...I just wonder what's wrong with her to have thought up all these crazy story lines. I'm onto book 3!
