A friend suggested I read this the other day. I thought it was aimed more at "youngsters". Can anyone tell me if it's worth a go please?

Don't start!

Sex is so hard to get right though...it could have gone horribly wrong if she'd done it in more detail.

The ice cold tongue can't be much fun.

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:54

Oh yes
Talking of which, my 5 year old asked me (in front of my 85 year old stuffy FIL) what snogging was and proceeded to give me a big kiss)

I'll buy the Host then.
I really wanted details of the wedding night. Was very disappointed.

Im team edward all the way, but would rather him be hot than freezing marble, can't imagine thats nice.

EdwardCullensWife · 10/04/2009 20:52

He's young enough to be your son Berrie

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:52

Oh Lord...you know I can't remember the details...I've only read them once!

Disenchantegg3 · 10/04/2009 20:52

I kept thinking 'I wish these werent young adult books so she would get a bit raunchier!' pmsl.

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:51

I'd definitely give him one too!

HappyandEiknowit · 10/04/2009 20:51

that woman who wrote that article obviously hasnt had a good edward-style sex dream and therefore cant appreciate the books
i say go for the host edwardcullenswife (or should we just call you bella?) and then read the series again

EdwardCullensWife · 10/04/2009 20:50

Too hot. 108 degrees. Ouch.

Disenchantegg3 · 10/04/2009 20:50

he has the 'body of a 25 year old' though after he 'changes'.

EdwardCullensWife · 10/04/2009 20:50

I know but he still pulls that childish stunt in Eclipse. Edward would never stoop so low.

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:49

...and hot!

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:49

...and he's so physical...

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:49

But he matures...

EdwardCullensWife · 10/04/2009 20:48

The thing that puts me off Jacob is the fact that he's, what, 15? Just a kid.

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:48

Oh...a month...not even that ha ha!

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:47

Tee hee, me too though not forasa long as 2 months

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:45

I bet you are...I remeber how cross you were when she snogged Jacob but I rather liked that bit! It was spoiled however by her 'realising' she was 'in love with Jacob too.'the implication being that because she began to feel passionate about the semi naked hunk who was kissing her that she must be in love...

Disenchantegg3 · 10/04/2009 20:45

me??

went all farmer there....my

EdwardCullensWife · 10/04/2009 20:45

Should I try The Host then? it's either that or re-read the Twilight series for the third time

Disenchantegg3 · 10/04/2009 20:44

Mmmm Edward....

First time I read Twilight me martital relations improved ten fold for a good month, lol

EdwardCullensWife · 10/04/2009 20:43

Libra, that comment wasn't petulant or defensive. I'm a journalist. I know how these things work. Just because some writer says something that doesn't make it fact. I know this better than most.
