It is nearly impossible to believe that the countdown is now just two weeks until New Moon. It feels like we’ve been saying “Is it November yet?” for well…months. And now, the answer to that is yes! It all just seems surreal. We are so close to watchingNew Moon. I bought my tickets weeks ago, then went back earlier this week to pick up one for the Twilight showing before the midnight release. I’m very excited. Two weeks from now, I will have seen New Moon and be less than six hours away from seeing it a second time.
Over at the main Eyes of Amber blog, my partner Kerry has started a new feature called Twi-Theories Tuesday. This series moves the focus back to the books. As much as we love the movies and can’t wait for New Moon to hit theaters, without the books we’d never have the story of Edward and Bella. It always comes back to the books.
With New Moon coming up, Kerry is currently working on issues related to the second book. The first week we discussed Jacob, a very obvious component of New Moon. It seems as though everyone I talk to who doesn’t know a whole lot about the saga will ask, in reference to New Moon, “that’s the one with the werewolves right?” But Kerry looks much deeper into the character of Jacob and what role he serves in the books.
The second week was an incredibly interesting discussion of Bella’s hallucinations of Edward. It also talks about Bella’s choosing between Edward and Jacob. It is definitely a must read! I’m still undecided on a few of her discussion points here.
Did you ever wonder how Jasper was able to ignore Bella’s blood in the ballet studio, but went rabid over a little paper cut? Kerry’s post about Jasper’s bloodlustaddresses this very question, with incredibly interesting conclusions. It’s a great discussion that gives you plenty to think about.
Most recently, she explored the mystery that is Rosalie. To be such a complex character who takes a very critical course of action, we know very little about her. This post is very enlightening. Had Rosalie made a different choice, would Bella and Edward have ever gotten back together? Yes, she’s that important.
I encourage you to check out these posts and get into the mood for New Moon. The countdown just kicked into overdrive. Single digit days are well within sight!
