Eclipse
By: Stephenie Meyer
In the third book of the Twilight saga, Bella is surrounded by danger. The Volturi could check on her at any time, Victoria is bent on avenging her lover's death, and now there appears to be a serial killer in nearby Seattle. And then there's her boyfriend and her best friend, each of whom could break her in two if they lost control. I found this book riveting and immensely sad. How can you possibly choose between the love of your life and your best friend? I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the earlier books in the series.

Here is my full review of this fattnsaic book!I really enjoyed this book. I had been wondering if something was wrong with me, I wasn't enjoying time spent in social gatherings, friends and people that I wanted to be more than friends were questioning why I was the "way I am". I didn't have a great answer. I've had self esteem issues, so I looked for help there in readings that helped me create a positive self concept. When done with those it was time to tackle this feeling of not liking society, and why that was a feeling I was having more and more. This book helped me discover that I wasn't weird, I just had introverted tendencies. I prefer quality time with fewer people over large gatherings which would just "take energy from me". Page after page, I felt like I was reading a book that was describing me to a tee! Enjoying quiet time, reflection, meditation, and my creative side that lived inside. There were even a couple parts that shocked me a bit, for example the thought that my room is "my space" and that the living room is for extroverts. It's so true. I have a three bedroom house, and when I'm here alone, I'm in my room 98% of the time. I used to do this when I was younger too, so it shocks me that it's not until I am 36 yrs old that I come to realize that this is ok and that I'm not crazy. This book also pinned me pretty well as the person that gets to the party and starts planning an exit route within the first hour. This is so true and any of my friends that have been witnesses to my disappearing acts can attest that this is how I am. It's not that I dislike the people at the party not at all! I love them, but the fact that there will be very little personal interaction with them makes the event less worth of my time. I would rather have a cup of coffee with any of them, one on one, and really talk, and have an exchange that is valuable to us both! Can you tell this book has helped me understand who I am? It has and I highly recommend it to anyone introvert or extrovert, as it explains that we all have both of these traits in us, this book helps you understand the introvert side and how to to let it thrive!
