Eclipse Special Edition, if you take off the cover the back is the Breaking Dawn cover.WHO IS TALKING AT THE BOTTOM? Bella %26amp; Edward or Bella %26amp; Jacob? I%26#039;m pretty convinced it%26#039;s Bella and Edward, but it%26#039;s driving me crazy!
Here%26#039;s the paragraph on the front:
%26quot;Don%26#039;t be afraid,%26quot; I murmured.
%26quot;We belong together.%26quot;
I was abruptly overwhelmed by the truth of my own words.
This moment was so perfect, so right.
There was no way to doubt it.
His arms wrapped around me, holding me against him... It felt like every nerve ending in my body was a live wire.
%26quot;Forever,%26quot; he agreed.%26quot;
So yea... Thanks everyone!
~*100% PuRe TeAm EdWaRd*~
CALLING ALL TWILIGHT FANS (Who have read through Eclipse)?
omg this is driving me crazy to, but i think its edward and bella casue %26quot;he%26quot; says forever, and we all know that its edward who says forever often and not jacob and another thing is, forever refers to immortality so it has to be edward and bella right?
CALLING ALL TWILIGHT FANS (Who have read through Eclipse)?
I have no idea.... GRRR
I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL AUGUST 2ND!!! COME OUT SOONER!!!!
GO TEAM EDWARD!!!! i hate jacob...
Reply:i want to say edward but it could be jacob. they always want you to think what they want you to think. they%26#039;re playing with your minds. so i think it either one of them two.
Reply:who%26#039;s alice cullen?
Reply:Oh my gosh, isn%26#039;t this the THIRD time you%26#039;ve asked this question??
Anyway, like I%26#039;ve said three times now, I think that Bella is talking to Edward. I think ti%26#039;s going to right before the sleep together. And the live wire thing means that you%26#039;re hot, not cold
Reply:I%26#039;m sure it%26#039;s Edward, because if you%26#039;ve seen the picture of the first chapter of Breaking Dawn (not the first page) it%26#039;s titled Engagement, or something like that. I haven%26#039;t seen it for a while, so I don%26#039;t remember. And I don%26#039;t think %26#039;live wire%26#039; refers to her being hot or cold, I think she%26#039;s saying she%26#039;s excited or happy, or something....
Reply:Go you! I am also completely Team Edward, although I don%26#039;t exactly hate Jacob. He just kind of needs to back off.
Anyways, is it Edward of Jacob. I think Edward, because after everything Bella%26#039;s been through with Edward, it would kind of be ridiculous to have her end up with Jacob. Also, Bella never responds that way to Jacob - the whole %26quot;live wire%26quot; thing...while she is hyper-aware of Edward. Not only that, Edward is immortal, therefore it would make more sense for him to say %26quot;Forever.%26quot;
Just wild theories, but I hope they%26#039;re right...
Reply:i%26#039;m about 60% sure that it is edward and bella talking and Edward is about to bite her.
Reply:Def Edward. Only because Jacob can%26#039;t turn Bella Immortal and she belongs with Edward.
Reply:I never thought of that.. thanks for putting that in my brain ! lol. greta. just one more twilight thing for me to obsess over.... ahhh why do i torture myself with this stuff?? im gonna go read the series.......again. lol
I think its edward though. if it%26#039;s not, i swear i will burn the book. BELLA BETTER END UP WITH EDWARD!!
if jacob gets in their way again i swear to god...
GO TEAM EDWARD!!

What are some good books?
I want something that is not boring. I can focus enough to withstand heavy description and characterization, such as The Yearling, but not if it drones on and on, like Catch-22 or The Grapes of Wrath.
If you recommend science fiction or fantasy, it has to be almost as great as the Bartimaeus Trilogy. Exciting plot, with many complex events that just seem to click together. Brilliant, and doesn%26#039;t neglect characterization.
In realistic fiction, I%26#039;m looking for something that%26#039;s got a great writing style, and strong characterization. It still has to be interesting. The Prince of Tides is a novel that fits this description that I enjoyed.
Some novels I enjoyed:
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (Haven%26#039;t actually read it yet, but I spent a lot of time reading reviews and descriptions about it and it sounded great.)
The Prince of Tides, The Bartimaeus Trilogy, The Outsiders, The Kitchen Man, The Butcher Boy, Flowers to Algernon, HGTTG, and kind of enjoyed Treasure Island.
What are some good books?
Dracula by Bram Stoker is good. And overlooked. It was one of the best books that I%26#039;ve read.
What are some good books?
Some of those books sound a little obscure, and I%26#039;ll admit a lot of them I%26#039;ve never read, but I think you might like The Green Mile (Stephen King) or books by Ray Bradbury (The Illustrated Man, a book of short stories, is phenomenal).
Reply:Try the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. The action never stops and I couldn%26#039;t put them down. Amazing books.
Reply:Science fiction? Anything by Kurt Vonnegut. Fantastic writer-- I%26#039;d recommend Slaughterhouse-5.
Reply:I%26#039;ll try to give you several of different genres:
Novel/Mythology/Spiritual
Till We Have Faces - C.S. Lewis.
Its a re-telling of an old myth, very introspective with alot of depth.
Classic/Realistic horror
Lord of the Flies
Classis, might have read in high school but an excellent book about the not-so-naive nature of children which is exposed when a plane crashes and strands a group of kids on an island
Romance/Historical
Scarlett - Alexandra Ripley
Sequel to Gone with the Wind. Would have to be familiar with the plot of the GWTW. Lots of good history amidst adventure, centered around a woman who%26#039;s personal growth is quite intriguing.
Thriller
Thr3e - Tedd Dekker
A thriller that will keep you guessing and has a GREAT twist at the end. Easy read but not shallow.
Comedy
Laughing Gas - P.G. Wodehouse
If you enjoy british humor, this is a witty and enjoyable farce about a gentleman and a boy who accidentally switch bodies.
Play/Adventure
Cyrano De Bergarac
Its a play, perhaps one of the wittiest I%26#039;ve read other than Shakespeare. I%26#039;m sure you know the story, but its pretty much got everything from romance to war to wit to woes.
I%26#039;ve got plenty more if you like these! Good luck from a fellow avid reader.

Shadowmarch by Ted Williams....any good???
I went to Borders the other day and the woman I was talking to really recommended it. (She worked at the store) I just wanted to get some more opinions on it.
Shadowmarch by Ted Williams....any good???
It%26#039;s a very good book.
Shadowmarch by Ted Williams....any good???
I started reading it several times and I just couldn%26#039;t get into it. Thats very unusual for me, I usually soak up Fantasy in any form.

About the occupation of an author.?
how much money can u earn?
is ur salary by hour, or annual
About the occupation of an author.?
It depends on what kind of writing job you have.
If you are a novelist, or write books, then you would get paid when you sell your book(first an advance from the publisher, then a bit of sales (i think))
If you are a writer for a newspaper or magazine, then you would have an annual salary. (Unless you just write freelance articles, then it would be per article)
About the occupation of an author.?
Techincally authors don%26#039;t have salaries. They get paid royalties, which depend on how much the book was sold for. The most common net price for a book is 10 dollars, though it could be higher or lower, and on average the author would get $0.70. So, if you sell around 20,000 books you get around $17,000.
A lot of people, places, and even websites make writing seem like a glamorous job. It%26#039;s really not. You depend on your readers for your living and if they don%26#039;t like your book you better be finding a second job. Even the best authors write crap and that means a lower paycheck.

Does anyone know some really cool books for teens?? i like reading about things i can relate to?
Does anyone know some really cool books for teens? I like reading about things i can relate to such as love, high school related things, and just life as a teenager. Any suggestions? some other books i like (to give you an idea) are the Clique novels, Perfect, Stargirl, and things like that.
Does anyone know some really cool books for teens?? i like reading about things i can relate to?
Here are some of my favorite teen and some adult-ish novels:
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It%26#039;s about a girl named Bella who moves to Forks, Washington and runs into a group of vampires. VERY VERY good! I REALLY think you should give it a chance because I%26#039;m not into vampire stuff, but it was AMAZING!
http://stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html
Pants On Fire by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who basically has everything (popular best friend, good grades... and TWO boyfriends.) It%26#039;s really funny because then her friend from eighth grade come back to town (everyone hates him) and she falls head over heals for him too.
http://www.megcabot.com/
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. It%26#039;s about four girls who where born as friends. They go through ups and downs together.
The Last Summer (Of You and Me) by Ann Brashares was amazing. It may be more of an adult book, but it was fairly good.
All-American Girl and All-American Girl Ready Or Not by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about an outcast girl who happens to save the presidents life. Suddenly everyone at school wants to be her friend, but she doesn%26#039;t really care... What she does care about is the presidents son...
Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who goes over seas with her boyfriend after (almost!) finishing college. After a bad break up with him, she goes with her friend and runs into someone.... It%26#039;s a very good adult book!
How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who comes across an old book in her grandma%26#039;a attic called how to be popular. So, she follows the rules of the book hoping to become popular.
Jinx by Meg Cabot. If you liked Twilight, then you%26#039;ll like this book. It%26#039;s about a girl who has bad luck all the time so she moves in with her aunt and uncle. He sister is into witchcraft and I don%26#039;t want to spoil the rest, but it fairly good.
Teen Idol by Meg Cabot. This is about a girl who has an advice column in her school newspaper. So, when a famous actor comes to her school and she%26#039;s the only one who knows about it, chaos occurs!
Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen is also pretty good. It%26#039;s about two girls that are best friends who are having a few issues in the love department.
http://www.sarahdessen.com/?q=books
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is one of my favorites! It%26#039;s about a girl who had something terrible happen to her and she%26#039;s learning how to cope with it and befriends an outcast boy.
The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I%26#039;ve only read the first two, but they are VERY good. It%26#039;s about a girl named Suze who moves to California from New York because her mother just remarried. Oh, and Suze can see ghosts...
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It%26#039;s about a guy named Clay who gets these tapes in the mail about why a girl named Hannah killed herself. It%26#039;s very good and a great page-turner!
http://www.thirteenreasonswhy.com/
She Went All The Way by Meg Cabot. This is a book for more mature people, but it%26#039;s very good. It%26#039;s about two people who get stranded in the wilderness.
Forever... by Judy Bloom is also pretty good. It%26#039;s about a girl getting a boyfriend and going through sensual things. It%26#039;s a little mature. It%26#039;s basically telling you the difference between first love and true love.
Nick and Norah%26#039;s Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is okay. My friends LOVED it! I don%26#039;t wanna tell you what it%26#039;s about because it%26#039;ll just give it all away.
The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It%26#039;s about how these things called souls invade Earth, as well as humans. It%26#039;s based on a soul named Wanda who is placed into Melanie, who refuses to fade away like she%26#039;s suppose too. It%26#039;s very interesting and I totally recommend it!
http://stepheniemeyer.com/thehost.html
Good luck with finding a book! I hope these help!

Ashley is also getting married this summer and Haven doesn%26#039;t understand why Ashley would choose this man.
Someone Like You - Halley and Scarlet, both 16 and juniors in high school, have been best friends forever. Scarlet was always the strong one, but now she needs Halley to be there for her.

Halley and her mother, a psychologist, have gotten along well in the past but that has changed. Halley%26#039;s mother used to write books about their relationship, but now they just argue.
This Lullaby - Remy, Jess, Chloe, and Lissa are friends (sort of) and now it is the summer between high school and college. This is a time of transition for each of them, but the story concentrates on Remy who because her mother has had a series of husbands and Remy never even met her father, she is very cynical about love.
Ann Brashares:
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - A wonderful story about Tibby, Carmen, Lena, and Bridget, four very different friends who are spending their first summer apart from one another.

Jinx by Meg Cabot. If you liked Twilight, then you%26#039;ll like this book. It%26#039;s about a girl who has bad luck all the time so she moves in with her aunt and uncle. He sister is into witchcraft and I don%26#039;t want to spoil the rest, but it fairly good.
Teen Idol by Meg Cabot. This is about a girl who has an advice column in her school newspaper. So, when a famous actor comes to her school and she%26#039;s the only one who knows about it, chaos occurs!
Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen is also pretty good. It%26#039;s about two girls that are best friends who are having a few issues in the love department.

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is one of my favorites! It%26#039;s about a girl who had something terrible happen to her and she%26#039;s learning how to cope with it and befriends an outcast boy.
The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I%26#039;ve only read the first two, but they are VERY good. It%26#039;s about a girl named Suze who moves to California from New York because her mother just remarried. Oh, and Suze can see ghosts...
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It%26#039;s about a guy named Clay who gets these tapes in the mail about why a girl named Hannah killed herself. It%26#039;s very good and a great page-turner!

She Went All The Way by Meg Cabot. This is a book for more mature people, but it%26#039;s very good. It%26#039;s about two people who get stranded in the wilderness.
Forever... by Judy Bloom is also pretty good. It%26#039;s about a girl getting a boyfriend and going through sensual things. It%26#039;s a little mature. It%26#039;s basically telling you the difference between first love and true love.
Nick and Norah%26#039;s Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is okay. My friends LOVED it! I don%26#039;t wanna tell you what it%26#039;s about because it%26#039;ll just give it all away.
The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It%26#039;s about how these things called souls invade Earth, as well as humans. It%26#039;s based on a soul named Wanda who is placed into Melanie, who refuses to fade away like she%26#039;s suppose too. It%26#039;s very interesting and I totally recommend it!

This Lullaby - Remy, Jess, Chloe, and Lissa are friends (sort of) and now it is the summer between high school and college.
