Especially in January.<BR/><BR/>Jules - I so love the idea of the sparkles.<BR/><BR/>mrsmac - I am firmly Team Jacob. I longed for Edward in book two, but not anymore.<BR/><BR/>J - I decided to deliberately wait on reading about her till I finish the series. I am sure her world view is completely antithetical to mine.<BR/><BR/>Slightly Disorganized - FYI - My friend Jenny went back and read the first post I wrote about this and was laughing so hard about your comments on the adjectives and the "marble loins." Awesome.<BR/><BR/>And I think you are entirely right about this. With my low tolerance for cold, Edward sounds pretty painful to me.<BR/><BR/>Paula - I really quite enjoyed book three, and I have every intention of reading the next one. For me it really is just like having to finish the entire jar of frosting.<BR/><BR/>FreckledK - I dunno. Cold, very very icy cold. No warm cuddles.
