For this quarters blog I am reading New Moon by Stephanie Mayer, the sequel to Twilight. I loved reading Twilight so I am excited read this book. Twilight ended with Bella's close encounter with death when she was lured into an old dance studio by a vampire, and was saved by Edward and his family. Although she wasn't killed by the vampire, she was bitten by him and the Cullens had to decide whether or not to let her change into a vampire. Edward refuses to let this happen and takes the poison out of the bite. New Moon opens with a dream Bella is having on her 18th birthday where she is looking at an old woman she thinks is her dead grandma, and soon realizes that she is looking in a mirror at herself when she grows older. This dream reflects Bella's fear of getting older because she wants Edward to turn her into a vampire so she can stay his age and be with him forever. For this reason she is not in a good mood on her birthday because she feels like she only has a short time frame of a couple years when she could convince Edward to make her non-human before she gets a lot older than him. I predict that in this book they are going to get in a lot of arguements about this and he will eventually cave in.
