Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer

Breaking Dawn is Stephanie Meyer's final book in the Twilight series. Bella must finally make the tough decisions about her future. Will she remain human or turn into the living dead? Will she choose the suave and charming vampire Edward? Or the down-to-earth and warm werewolf Jacob? Once she chooses, though, her problems do not come to an end. The Volturi visit the quiet town of Forks and puts everyone's (werewolves, vampires, and humans) lives in danger.

I was surprised and delighted by how much I enjoyed the conclusion to this series. The first book left me quite unimpressed. I thought it was mediocre and better left to teens (you can read that review/rant HERE).

Now, that attitude has changed. The plot was much more involved than the others, it was full of shocking twists, suspense, action, and I even liked the main characters better. I was glad the story continued after high school because it made things seem more significant (they were adults and not just hormonal teenagers).

I thought this book concluded the Twilight series perfectly and it answered all of my questions/curiousities that I hoped would be resolved.  I give Breaking Dawn a big, happy, Thumbs Up and I'm adding it to my Top 10!

Peculiar Book Peaks Readers' Curiousity

"A mysterious island.

An abandoned orphanage.

A strange collection of very curious photographs."

A very odd new book is coming to stores tomorrow. It is called Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and is written by author Ransom Riggs. This story is told with both pictures and words. The children in this book have special characteristics. Two sisters communicate with each other without making a sound, another girl walks without touching the ground, and a boy cannot be seen but for his clothing. All is evidenced with very old photos.

Let me know what you think about this book in the comments or on Twitter (@AmandaBookshelf). I know I cannot wait to read it . . .

"A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows."
