Etsy is a hub of all things handmade, and it was fun browsing through items that were Twilight-related. Here are some of my favorite Twilight-inspired handmade stuff on Etsy.

With all the buzz around the Twilight film, I’m really hoping that it doesn’t suck. The book rocked so I hope the film lives up to all the hype. There are so many spoilers going around to lure us (dazzle us?). Perhaps it’s all part of their marketing strategy, but man, they BETTER make [...]

An SMS exchange between me and my sister:
Jennie: “What’s your favorite Jacob quote?”
Me: “Did you seriously just stomp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV.” and “Sure, sure.”
Jennie: “Okay! Do you prefer to be called a Twihard or a Twilighter.”
Me: “Twihard.”
The following weekend, look what she surprised me with!

It’s been awhile since I wrote about Twilight. Blame it on Failing Breaking Down Dawn. That book really broke my Twilight heart. I’m glad my sisters and girlfriends have read the book. We’ve been analyzing the book in and out. It’s like we needed a support group after that epic disappointment. At least that’s what [...]

What if you’re happily married, and the-one-who-got-away suddenly comes into your life? Have you really found the one? Can you love who you’re with and still love the one who never really got away?
“Love the One You’re With” is Emily Giffin’s most recent novel. She also authored “Something Borrowed”, “Something Blue”, and “Baby Proof”.

Well, well, well.

Breaking Dawn, the much anticipated fourth book in the Twilight series, was released last weekend.
Will Bella become a vampire? Who will she choose — Edward or Jacob? What comes next for the three lead characters?
These questions filled my head (and other Twilighters’ heads) for a good year or so. Our questions were [...]

The game is easy! I will ask a question. The first person who comments will answer my question, and will leave a question for the next person to answer. This next person will answer that question, and leave a question for the next next person to answer. I am sure you get it! [...]

Here are some movie and book updates!
I’m also sharing that our upcoming weekend’s soiree theme is the Twilight series: Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. So prepare those questions! My only request is for you not to post any Breaking Dawn spoilers. Theories are acceptable, but don’t spoil the fun for those who haven’t [...]

The discussion from the Austenland entry was quite interesting. A lot of those who left comments had already started a love affair with Jane Austen’s work, the others looking for the right motivation to dive in. When witsandnuts suggested an online version of The Jane Austen Book Club, several of us went “Yeah! Why not?” [...]
