Twilight Book Tag


Happy Friday, friends!! The week is ALMOST over and we can all breathe a sigh of relief! Today I'm bringing back a super old tag that I found on Youtube from way back in 2012. (Honestly, can you believe 2012 was five years ago?) I've been having a bit of an embarrassing Twilight movie binge between yesterday and today (although I hate the books and don't actually love the movies???), so it seemed like a fun tag to fit the theme of the week! If you're reading this, I tag you! (Mostly Jen. I tag you.)


WHICH TEAM ARE YOU ON?

Even though I do think he's pretty creepy, I'm Team Edward all day. I actually love Jacob's long hair and if he'd kept it, I might have switched sides. Sorry, Jacob. Seriously though, I've always had kind of a thing about the vampire romance and I've never really gotten into shape-shifters/werewolves.


WHICH BOOK IS YOUR [LEAST] FAVORITE?

I changed this question because, to be fair, I loved all of the books when I first read them and despised Twilight when I tried for a re-read. Since I loved them all, I'll share my least favorite: Breaking Dawn. I actually didn't even finish it. I binge read the series with a friend in 2009 until I got about halfway through book four and completely lost interest. After seeing the movie, I'm really glad I didn't waste my time. 


WHICH MOVIE IS YOUR FAVORITE?

I know I've talked about my superpower of forgetting things in the past, but in case you weren't aware, I tend to forget basically everything I read and watch. I do remember the basic outline of the movies, but I can't remember specifics. Between the first two movies, which I watched yesterday, I like Twilight the best. I despise mopey Bella, so New Moon is out. 


HOW DID YOU FIRST HEAR ABOUT TWILIGHT?

I heard about Twilight when the first movie came out. I wasn't into YA back then, so I had no idea about the books. I watched the first movie, enjoyed it, then binged the series.


WHAT'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SCENE FROM A MOVIE?

Oh, good lord. Even with the horrible reveal in Breaking Dawn Pt. 2, my absolute least favorite scene is the one where Edward reveals that he's sparkly. It is impossible not to laugh out loud when he starts glittering and talking about how THIS IS WHAT A KILLER LOOKS LIKE. Seriously, who wrote this?? 


WHICH CHARACTER DO YOU HAVE A LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH?

Bella, who else? She's mopey and as awkward as I think it's possible for a character to be, but she's a Mary Sue, so it's hard not to like her at times. 


DO YOU HAVE ANY TWILIGHT MEMORABILIA?

I do not, aside from the movies, which I have for some reason refused to get rid of. I clean out my movie collection every couple years and I always stare at them, contemplate getting rid of them, then don't for some reason. And every few years I end up guiltily watching the entire series in silence.


INSERT RANDOM TWILIGHT FACT ABOUT
YOURSELF HERE

Okay, okay, this wasn't a real tag question. But I'm doing it anyway, so sue me. I've actually been to Port Angeles because my husband's ship was in port there and I got to visit once. We ate at the restaurant that Edward and Bella eat at and it was okay, but the people loudly talking about Twilight during their meal got annoying. I also drove through Forks and took a terrible picture with Bella's truck, which I won't post because it's legit awful.



That's all, folks! You can judge my movie binge - I don't blame you. I generally hate chick flicks, but for some reason this one has stuck with me through the years. Here's hoping my husband doesn't read this because he will make fun of me forever. XD
