Week 6
I've read 1.5 more hours of Twilight. Not too much has happen. After Bella is rescued by Edward, they meet her friends who already ate supper. So Edward promises to make sure she gets something to eat, but of course him being a vampire he doesn't need to. She asks him the most important question. Are you a vampire?! and what do you eat. The answer of course was yes and he drinks blood. But he doesn't want to be a monster so him and his family eat animal blood. I think this is a very good project! I always want to read, but I would never have thte time. Now I actually make time to start reading. I've read alot more than I ever have. TOTAL TIME 28.5

Week 5. One more picture.
Edward and Bella can't stop thinking about each other. She knows he is dangerous, but her love for him won't allow her to not talk to him or even think of him. He is willing to protect her to the ends of the Earth. He saves her from being mugged and raped by a group of men. Their love is too strong to be broken.
Week 5...Pictures
Bella's father Charlie gets her a car from a Native American man whose son fixes up cars. Bella remembers visiting him as a child. His name is Jacob and he developes a crush on Bella. He is the one who tells her that Edward is a vampire.
Bella moves from the nice sunny weather of Arizona to the wetlands of Washington. That area is filled with trees and many beautiful scenery. There are few days where it's not snowing or raining.
Twilight is about Edward who is a vampire who falls in love with Bella at first smell: of her blood that is. Edward doesn't come to school for many days after their first meeting because he can't stand being around her without smelling her blood.
Bella's parents are divorced. They have been for many years. Every summer Bella would come and visit her father, but it has been a few years since she has. Now as her mom found a new beau she decides to move in with her Dad.

Week 5.2
After I finished A Bend in the Road, I started the first book of the Twilight saga. I've read 2.5 hours.
My first picture is about vampires because Bella learns that's what Edward is from her Indian friend named Jacob. His dad is where Bella got her truck from.
Bella just moved to Forks, Washington from Arizona. She had lived with her mother and decided to try living with her father for a while. She wasn't the biggest fan of all the snow and rain that this area brought. Even though Bella was a pale as snow; she still loved the sun.
Bella managed to make new friends at her new school. There was this one family that intreged her. The Cullins. They were adopted children to the doctor in town. They were all very pale, but dressed well and were very good looking. There was one especially that she couldn't help but stare at. His name was Edward whom she sat next to in Biology. When he saw her, his face looked like he was disgusted by her. He didn't show up for days after they first met. The day he came back they talked and apologized for being rude, but said they shouldn't be friends. He was dangerous.
Edward had been over by his car. A van came towards Bella and couldn't stop because of the ice. Edward had rushed over to quickly it was humanly impossible and pushed away the van. He didn't want her to talk about it to anyone.
Total Time: 27 hours

Week 5
I read 5.5 hours of the book A Bend in the Road. It's about a man named Miles, a sheriff, who's wife died while jogging and got hit by a car. That happened two years ago. Since then Miles has been trying to find out who did this terrible thing, ruined his life, and took away the most precious thing in the world to him Missy, his wife. Together they had a son Jonah who is now in second grade. His previous teachers just let him slide because they knew what happened to his mom. But his new teacher Ms. Sarah Andrews was not going to let that fly; he was so far behind compared to the other students. She sets up a meeting with Miles. From the moment they saw each other they couldn't stop thinking about each other. Sarah agrees to tutor Jonah 3 days a week in exchange for a fan for their classroom. Miles looked forward to each day he had to pick Jonah up from school. Sarah had been previously married which ended in divorice when her husband learned she couldn't have children.
Miles grew up the courage to ask Sarah out to dinner. From then on they spent a lot of time together, and Jonah loved her coming around.
Miles had a tif with a neighbor named Otis. He thinks that's who killed his wife, and he was willing to kill him. One day he went to his house put a gun to his head and took him away in a police car. His boss was very angered when he heard this because he went without permission or a warrant. Miles was put on leave. He was so distressed he spent less and less time with Jonah and didn't talk to Sarah either.
Sarah confesses the trouble to Brian her brother. He tells her that it was him. He killed Missy, but it was an accident. Sarah knew she had to tell Miles. He assumed the worst when they showed up. He thought she knew the whole time and felt betrayed. He took Brian in his car and was driving to the police station. They got into a car accident and Brian hurt his head, but it all was an accident just like Brian had said about Missy's death.
Miles knew he had to get over it, which he did. But him and Sarah drifted apart. She didn't expect to ever see him or Jonah again till Christmas when they showed up on her doorstep. Total time: 24.5 hours.

Week 4.2
Read 4.5 more hours of at first sight and finished it. Total time 19 hours. The rest of the book is about Jeremy moving down to Boone Creek, NC from New York, NY to be with Lexie. It's a big adjustment he's not sure how to fit in and he has no friends. In the town there is a man named Rodney who is dating Rachel, but is secretly in love with Lexie. Lexie doesn't want anyone to know of the pregnancy at least not yet. Jeremy tells his best friend Alvin who isn't too excited about him getting married to someone he barely knows. Lexie works at the library so Jeremy would go there every day and try to get some writing done for his newspaper article back in New York. He is not able to write anything. Lexie's Grandma Doris gives him a book of proof showing all the people she predicted the sex of their babies all correctly. He wasn't sure if he wanted to use it. One day Jeremy caught Lexie at a park with Rodney and they were holding hands, but she never mentioned anything to him. She also found her at his house after finding that Rachel was missing. He began to wonder if he trusted her at all. He also found in Doris's book Lexie's initials. She never said anything about it at all to him. During that time they bought a house and started renovations which were draining Jeremy's bank account.
The day of Jeremy leaving to go to his bachelor party in NY him and Lexie got into a huge fight and he left. She thought he'd never come back. At the party, Jeremy had time to talk to his dad and his father told him that Lexie had been calling them, sending pictures and post cards of how they had been doing and he never knew it. It turns out when Rachel was gone she had visited Alvin in NY and she had spilled out all of the drama between Jeremy and Lexie. Alvin and Jeremy got into a huge fight, and Jeremy said he never wanted to see Alvin again and left to go back home to Lexie.
When he got there, they both apologized. They were good. The baby kept on getting bigger and their wedding was approaching. They had their wedding which was small and romantic just like she wanted. They later found out that the baby maybe born with a amniotic band causing deformities. Every 2 weeks they went there for an ultrasound always being negative. The day of the birth came. The baby was born healthy and well. But after labor, they heard Lexie gasping. She had died right after labor. Jeremy was devistated and almost even hated his daughter Claire because of what she took from him until he saw her. She was beautiful just like her mother and grew up to be just like her.
