Welcome to Week 1 of the Online Book Club discussion of Twilight.
The Online Book Club, if you've never joined us before, is a book discussion group that takes place entirely online. Each week, I write a new blog post that talks about different aspects of the book, and you can interact directly with me and other readers by leaving your comments. Check back each week and see what new topics we're talking about.
Twilight follows Bella Swan as she moves to Forks, Washington and discovers that her new town has some surprising and mysterious inhabitants. Once Bella starts at her new high school, she quickly becomes intrigued with the Cullen family, a family of impossibly beautiful teens that keep to themselves. She's especially drawn to Edward, but he seems to want to stay as far from her as possible. Eventually, Edward and Bella decide to become friends, and Bella quickly realizes that being friends with Edward might be putting her and her whole family at risk. He's hiding deep secrets that have dangerous consequences.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary release of the book, the Fairborn Community Library is having an anniversary celebration! To help celebrate the event, Jessica, the head librarian at Fairborn, will be sharing her thoughts on the book, so the entries this month might look a little different. I hope you enjoy reading about the book from her perspective!
You can still watch the movie version of the book, even if you aren't interested in reading along! Watch the trailer above to get a feel for the movie version, if you've never seen it!
I hope you enjoy the different format of the blog this month! Make sure to leave comments to let us know how you're enjoying the book and movie!
