Book #55: Eclipse


Title: Eclipse
Author: Stephenie Meyer

Will Bella graduate from high school as a mortal? Will she get ambushed by rival vampires? Will she choose Jacob or Edward? Will she embarrass herself by getting engaged before she graduates from high school? It's interesting, because our book club discussion of the Twilight books touched on all of these issues, but we must be a bunch of Mormon moms instead of a bunch of lovestruck teenagers, because the main source of controversy in our conversation was over whether Bella and Edward should have been hanging out in her bedroom together at night, and, furthermore, if it was crossing a line when an LDS author allowed her unmarried teenage girl character to lie (fully clothed) on top of an unmarried teenage male character (who, technically, is more like 110, but he's still hot).
