Meyer even mentions it multiple times that the reason he's so captivated by her is because her blood 'sings' to him. It's like romanticising Hannibal Lecter and his next victim because he complimented them how on how juicy they looked 😅

Bella reminds me of those women who fall in love with death row inmates after one letter 😂

I've hated New Moon since the day it came out. What a nightmare of a book! The only part of it that I loved were the cut pages that the author posted on her website. It was a whole subplot where despite walking out of Bella's life, Edward was trying his hardest to send her a ton of money to go to college and she kept not taking it. It resulted in Bella being sent a box of cash and she angrily through it at the Cullen's empty house. Annnnnnd the box went crashing through a window. The comedy of it + Edward being INSANE, was simply a really fun read.

I love how your sister just loved torturing you just so she can talk crap about twilight with you lol I was laughing so hard this whole video. Twilight was horrible but at the time I loved it so much 🤣🤣🤣 she should have included midnight sun just to torture you some more lol! I def want to see you and her do more book swaps. This was such a fun video and once again I have added more books to my never ending TBR cause the books you gave her to read sound so good!! I hope you have a blessed night!🩷🩷🩷 Team Edward yeah!!!

Haha, this made me laugh. I agree whole heartily with not liking New Moon but that book made me Team Jacob because he cared for her since the first book and wanted to help her get through Edward not being there. I would enjoy another book swapping video and Happy reading!

Your review was so great, and had me cracking up! 😂 I will forever love the series though. Team Edward! 🖤

Another one. Another one. Another one. This is a highly entertaining video. I hope that the next one will be a better experience for both of you.

First of all, your sibling love for each other is genuine and so fun. And yes more book swaps with your sister. I envy you and your sister are so mature and fun regarding the love for reading. Bookswaps are amazing content for the channel. 2nd, when she said to you "I am not doing this to torture you" when she gave the twilight books. I just said out on the open: Girl that is sweet but it wont exactly make it less a torturous for him. (But he is open and had a discpline to read it though. Mad respect for him.) But at the end of the video, I realize now her purpose is to just know whether you are team Edward or Team Jacob and so that you could both have good Rant Montage about it haha. So fun and sweet. I am a straight guy but learned to love some romance novels but I never read the twilight books and only caught glimpses of the twilight movies because my mom and female classmates are addicted to it and forced to watch some scenes. I realize though the book was truly published in a different time and seems like people have different mindset though and they really love it but only later on during this 2024, they see how "stalkerish" Edward is and how narcisstic Bella is hahah. I love that you are so open minded and finished the books despite knowing how the books perceived is now. I might try reading those books for fun and to actually see other people's eyes. Since your sister loved them but still get to see all the red flags and plot holes in it and agree to you about it, then your sister is awesome and the twilight book might be worth a read for me. But first I am more excited with the books you gave with your sister and I want to read them. The book cover themselves are to die for just to hold and look at. Damn. Again more bookswaps please with your awesome Sister.

I'm screaming 😂 Love love love that you read twighlight!! 🎉 "Edward, idk what you see in this weird person" 😂😂😂

This was such a fun watch. I will go to my grave believing Bella didn't deserve attention from EITHER Edward or Jacob! Bella was the worst character in the entire series!!

I found out I liked to read, in high school when we got assigned reads, but I didn't have readers in my life nor bookstores close to me. When I started dating my husband I knew he read as a hobby. My first gift to him was the 2nd book of the Eragon series. Twilight series is what got me into reading as a hobby. 😅 I was in my early twenties (I'm 42 now). My sisters in law lent them to me and I got hooked. Since it was close to Christmas when I was reading them, my sister got me the books as Christmas gift. So, not on my favorites series of all time, but I have to thank Stephanie for opening the door for me to the amazing hobby of reading books. 😊 Btw, I'm #TeamEdward 😂

Man, I love Twilight books!

The whole Jacob/Renesmee/imprint thing is 100% not okay. And some of the fans try to say, 'but it's not romantic!' or 'he's like her older brother'. No. Absolutely not. I truly believe Stephanie intended it as romantic from the start because why at the end of the Breaking Dawn movie does Jacob say to Edward, 'so should I start calling you dad?' ...Like??? if it's not romantic why would he say that?! She's still a child at that point people WAKE UP

The funny thing about Twilight to me is that everyone who grew up loving this series absolutely understands how horrible it is as adults, but the nostalgia is what keeps us hooked. It’s extremely entertaining to laugh at something you spent your entire teenagehood thinking was the best thing to ever exist 😂 I was 13 when I read the first book. Of course I thought it was amazing. I’ll probably never read it again, but I damn sure force my loved ones to watch the movies… just to feel something

No offense to anyone who loves this series. There are definitely interesting parts to it, but overall, it could have benefitted from more editing and direction.

I'm so scared to ever do a reread of the books because I loved them as a teen. I did enjoy Midnight Sun as a burst of noastalgia in 2020. Yes do another book swap, but maybe a themed one?? like reading one favorite book and one least favorite book that you each have read ever.

I did see the films and I liked the films 😅🤠 i am team Jacob only because I agree with you that Bella treated Jacob super bad. Also Breaking Dawn was just super weird and creepy and that includes the baby imprinting thing. And Jacob calling Edward dad was just so messed up but I think that’s just in the film. I am never reading the Twilight books. I 💯agree with you on this series ‼️ I will try and read the books that you gave to Chelsea. 😅😊🤠☠️ How do like using that little microphone 🎤, would you recommend it ? Did you donate the couch that was in your new library before the new couch ? Hi Chelsea ‼️ I would like to recommend to you a book series that I am on and so far it’s amazing it’s YA urban fantasy it doesn’t have any spicy scenes but it’s filled with plot and realy amazing characters. And I think that you and Ashlynn would like this series which is The ShadowHunters series.

Watching your reaction to Twilight. 🤣🤣🤣 I think I read it back in 2006. Wait till you finish book 4. 🤪

I'm Team Edward, taking out all the toxic stuff, Edward was always her pick. Bella has eyes only for him and vice versa. Jacob never got a chance, their kisses were like "oh let me force this kiss on you while i confess my feelings and you don't feel the same" and "I'm gonna go to battle and i dont want to come back because you're getting married", like come on?!?!?!?

Ah Twilight. As I was a teenager at 17 I loved them because it was the first paranormal that I'd read. I just reread the first book and oh my gawd I had no taste as a teenage girl. The series is absolute bad. The twin vampires were the most fascinating characters (book three? I think?) along Jasper. But otherwise, I now absolutely despise this series and agree with all your points! Great video! ❤
