Some quizzes about Ruy:

Your Relationship Will Last… A Long Time!

Your guy is ideal, as close to Mr. Perfect as he could be If you took this quiz, you may be doubting that… Don’t! No guy is perfect but yours comes really close You guys will last for many years, as long as you appreciate him!

He’s a Great Boyfriend

You guy definitely loves you and knows how to treat you right. You have a five star boyfriend - so make sure you treat him right too!

Looks like someone will be conceited tonight….hahaha

I have just finished my 8th book for the year…YEY! For my eight book I decided to forgo my academic and nerdy books and jump into the vampire bandwagon with

I will admit that when I first saw this book, I really wanted to buy it because of the cover. You won’t believe how attractive this cover is to me. It’s so symbolic to!! I was able to stop myself from buying it before but I succumbed to temptation this week. I LOVED IT.

No, to be honest, the plot is not that great. The characters are wishy washy but there’s something so attractive about the kind of love they have.

Do you remember how you felt when you started dating the guy you’re with now? The hypersensitivity to every breath, movement, touch, smell. How your mind works on overdrive just to process every statement, every sigh? The longing to be with that person at all times? This is the kind of dynamic you see here and it’s so sensual without being sexual. Something women love and men don’t understand.

It shows a certain kind of intoxication with each other, once again very reminiscent of a new relationship.

However, as much as I love this book, I cannot believe this is considered as young adult lit. I would NEVER allow my kid to read this book. The messages it puts across to young kids is very very disturbing.I read this review from Amazon:

If there was ever a book that deserved the medal for Worst Messages of All Time to Send to your Teenage Audience, then this is the one. Girls, life is not worth living unless you have your man. It’s okay to have no dreams, ambitions, hobbies, interests, goals, ideas, friends, etc… as long as you have your man. It’s okay, and in fact desirable that you stay with a man forever, even though he may very likely kill you, or at least injure you, in the future. Growing into mature adulthood and eventually old age is a fate worse than death. True Love is based on appearances and physical aspects. And the list goes on.

Disturbing ain’t it? I think the book should be read by adults who have gone through the different stages of relationships and who would know how to process the events in the book. Now…I’m 30% into my 9th book…the next book in the Twilight Saga…NEW MOON.
