When Girl meets Girl and they share a love for Books....

then... they team up and make a BookBlog!

A few weeks ago (I just finished Fallen I think), I had this desperate wish to talk about this book and thought how cool it would be to have a Book Blog. But, I have my wonderful Vanquish blog here (how do I love you *sniffles*) and I have my Blog Design Site so there is no time for one more blog. I wouldn't be able to run it alone.

But, I have friends! Friends who read as much as I do and who love books just like me and I just asked them why not do it together?! Guess what? They agree instantly! Who wonderful is that?

Here are the lovely Ladies who will run this Blog with me:

One Pushy Fox

cutie

uhyesplease

Annie

Fire Crotch

Call of Duty Widow

fragile little human

This was the easy part, then we had to think about a name... OoooooOoO this was a bit more challenging but finally we agreed on

The Bewitched Bookworms

So if you love books like we do and like talking about it then please meet us at the Bookworms Home and spread the word. Oh and we have one more goodie, we have a Forum where we can discuss books freely spoilery and funny.

I also wrote the first Bookreview about The Dark Divine by Bree Despain

So it would be wonderful if some of you would find your way over to our blog and share with us the Love for books. And it would be even more wonderful if you would Grab Our Button and Link back to us:

My wonderful Twilight Year 2009

Today, I went out for a walk in the park which is close to my home and I remembered my last year with Twilight and smiled. I had my iPod with my and I heard the Twilight audiobook I just bought at iTunes and I remembered the beginning. Last year, March it happened that I found Twilight ( I already talked about all this in detail here) and I started by hearing the audiobook. I spend hours in the park walking around and listening to this wonderful story, it literally crashed on me. This moment changed my life and brought so much joy to me. After I've seen the movie I was hooked and this whole new world draw me in...

I started reading blogs and was just a lurker for some time until hubs asked me why not to start my own blog. Hu? Could I really do that? Me? I'm not a writer but I wanted an outlet to express my incredible love for the books and this movie. So June this year I just did it, I started this here, my own Twilight home. Which was just one more wonderment along all these wonderful things happened last year.

When the first people came to read my stuff here I couldn't believe it! I will be forever thankful the adorable cutie found me!

July, I joined Twitter. Gosh! Twitter really is a whole world on it's own. It was wonderful to meet so many wonderful people there who are as addicted and devoted as I am. Twitter also brought Fire Crotch to my blog who read about my lack of The Precious I and didn't hesitate but send me a copy right away. Yes this is the wonderment of the Twi community I'm blessed to be part of.

In July I also did my first video, my attempt to deal with my enormous obsession with this pretty face of Rob! People actually like it?! Hu?! Couldn't believe it again...

July and August cutie started the Wide Awake discussion which was so wonderful and truly brought us all so much closer together. It was a such a great time and I enjoyed it a lot! I was happy to be also part of it and I did a Wide Awake video as a farewell.

In August I also got my first layout for my blog and I will never forget the joy I felt when I finally saw it online. This was when I started playing around with html and designs. But this design I got from a super talented designer. (My dear old Vanquish layout, I gonna miss you *sniffles*)

It was in September where I spoke out about my Twipurness and my attempt to avoid any spoilers out there in the world, and I managed! I will definitely still need to talk about how it affected the way I saw New Moon!

In this month something else happend which brought so much more love into my life. I created the "wonderful comment award" inspired by Betti and you remember what she did? No?! She proposed to me! Yes she did : "Will you fucking marry" and sure I accepted and since then thw two of us are Twigaged ... OoOOO!

October was a wonderful month and a truly busy one, it was the month of the Book vs Movie Discussion. I did this together with Betti's Fanny and it was a freaking wonderful time! I was stunned about the response we got and how all of you were part of this with all your awesome comments. It was tons of work but it was so worth it when we saw all of you here on my blog!

I desperately hope Fanny will do this again with me.... Pretty please, I beg you!

November *gasp* - November - freaking November! How long did we all waited for this month?!! It was the month of New.freaking.Moon! And besides the excitement that New Moon comes closer, I had something else to be excited about. I met my Twinancé Betti, here at my place to watch New Moon together!?! Hello?! How awesome is that?

It was wonderful, it was awesome, it was fantastic, it was - put in all the word that express this wonderment. We had such a great time and I didn't know that I could love more, but I did!

My fucking Twigagement Bracelet from Betti!!!!

It was around that time when I finally started my own Blog Design page called Twispired Blogdesign.

I learned so much about html the last weeks that I badly wanted to really design blogs. I've never been a creative mind, I'm a scientist but in designing blog I finally found something where I could be creative. KG from i heart mythical creatures and cutie form Super Secret Twilight blog were the first peeps who were brave enough to gave their blogs into my hand. I could't imagine how much joy it brought to my in designing blogs, and specially Twilight blogs! I still can't really believe that...

End of November I did my first interview with a wonderful Fan Fiction author, fragile little human was brave enough to come over here and talked with me about her story Breath Me. It turned out wonderful and she let me even announce the Sequel to Breath Me!

December, this was a month where I mostly designed blog for so many wonderful people. For my friends out there in the Twiworld which was why I really neglected my beloved blog a bit. Can you forgive me? Pretty please? But, it was so amazing working with all those peeps on their blogs.

But December was also the month of wonderful Twipresents, I got from my friends. Annie, send me a beautiful necklace with a moon and earrings with crystal hearts, why?!? I still don't know why I deserved something like this but she just wanted to thank me for being part of her giveaway on the Danger Magnet. Well, Annie, it was all MY pleasure and I truly love the wonderful sparkling jewels.

Uhm, yes it's me waring Annies earrings..

I was also part of the Secret Santa thingy my friends from the Lemmon Sisters hold. Where I designed a blog for itsjustme: The RobMusement park .

But I got the freaking best presents ever! From Heather (Call of Duty Widow) I'm so happy to call her a friend because she put so much thought into her presents that it made me tear up! ( Which reminds me that Betti gave me a name: WIME which I truly deserve btw. It means Water In My Eyes. Well Thank you Betti). I got Alice gloves (self knitted), a Vamp magazine, trinkets for my twi - bracelet and she wrote me a freaking wonderful letter! Read about all I said about this here!

And I got all those wonderful Christmas cards from you my friends. Thank You!

MrsV speaks out about New Moon and Bella!

Wake up from the New Moon coma, it’s time!

It’s been now more than two weeks ago since New Moon finally hit the theaters. We waited so long for this and now I have the feeling that we are all sitting in a black hole. The excitement slowly went down and now we have to wake up.

I expected that I would read reviews, opinions’, screaming’s all over in bloggy world but it’s been fairly quite. Annie at the Danger Magnet gave a really cool review and slowly the other blogs come out now of the black hole and start telling about their experience at the premiere and what they like or dislike about New Moon. I already told you about my New Moon weekend with my beautiful Twincé Betti but I now want to tell you what I think about New Moon itself!

Yes, I woke up! I came out of the coma and left the black whole and now I will tell you!

I start with something all of you would probably not expect from me but I will talk about Kristen Steward and Bella first. Hu???? Read on please, don’t leave me now!

When I go back to our Twilight Book vs. Movie discussion it became clear that most people really don’t like KStew, don’t like her being Bella and dislike her acting skills. Well, I came out of New Moon and one of the first things I said to Betti was : “ I love KStew in here! Period!! “

First of all, she got older and she’s super gorgeous and beautiful. In Twilight she was a girl I wouldn’t even recognize on the street because she was just not shining. Apart from her lack of glow the stupid makeup she had in Twilight, this ugly blue eye shadow was so unnecessary! One had the feeling she was still trying to find the “Bella” inside her, in New Moon she IS Bella.

The way she showed Bella’s grief and despair was heartbreaking, when you looked into her eyes you saw the emptiness, at least I saw it! One scene will always make me cry and breakes my little heart is when she is sitting in the chair and we go through October, November, December. I even have goosebumps now while writing it and thinking about it. Together with the song “Possibilities” it gives me exactly the feeling I needed to have in this scene!

I heard some people complaining that she didn’t cry during the breakup scene, but for me there was no need for it. She was beyond being able to cry and when she’s lying in the wood rolled inside her it was all how I pictured it while reading the book.

I saw the happiness coming back into her eyes when being with Jake and I saw her anger when she punched Jared in his face! I saw her attempt to show Charlie that she’s willing to try and start living again, you know in the scene when they are standing besides her truck and Charlie tells her that she has to go back to Jacksonville!

And, I believed her despair when Jake who told her that he’s not good for her.

I loooooveeeeeed how she told Edward to shut up during the voting scene!

When talking about Bella, one more thing comes into my mind what I found super clever and perfect, the emails to Alice. You get two things with that, First how close the relationship between Bella and Alice is and Second, Bellas desperate feelings and grief. Something you always deal with while reading the book but in a movie one can’t get that so it was clever to do it that way, I loved it and how excruciating it is that all those emails come back …

The only scene where I’m not sure about is the Meadow scene! First, it was a perfect twist to make the Meadow all sere – great idea!!! It matches perfectly Bellas feelings when she arrives at the Meadow, before you see the beautiful Meadow and then all is gone and sere… But I’m not sure if I got the right feeling about her heartbreaking, maybe I would just have to see it again.

However, to conclude once more: I love her in New Moon. She finally became my Bella and I can’ wait to see her in Eclipse and finally as a beautiful and breathtaking Vampire in Breaking Dawn!!

So my lovely girls and guys, tell me all about it:

Do you love Bella or still don’t like her? Was she better in your eyes than in Twilight? What did you like and what not? Was there a scene where she surprised you ? Was there a scene where she totally annoyed you ?

It was my birthday....

..and it was a real Twilight Birthday!

Thanks Rob - when do I get my present???

Although it would have been much better if they didn't remove my wisdom teeth at my Birthday, isn't that sad? If the Doc wouldn't have been so damn hot, I would have complained. But, since I have such a cool family and lovely friends the day was still great. MrV is totally aware of my obsession and he apparently don't mind at all, quite the contrary he even helps me wherever he can.

He bought me the english Twilight collection together with german Twilight and NM as hardcover (Eclipse and BD I have already). I love books and I also love hardcovers, maybe not for reading on the beach, but definitely to have them in my shelter. I have to admit, I never read the books in english and I always wanted to, now I can! But MrV even went one step further and made me the greatest gift ever:

He'll make sure that I 'll see the NM premiere in November and not later in January, and he'll book a great hotel room because he knows that I'm picky on hotel rooms. Oh I love him! This will be a great trip wherever it goes. *makes the happy dance*

And finally I got my Mini-E - squeeeee - BFF bought me Mini-E together with a „stupid lamp" cup!!! See, she's really great, knows always what I need. Our NM trip together will be so awesome, specially with Mini-E who takes care of us!

finally my book collection is complete..

Apart from my family, I also had you all here! I can't tell how surprised and overwhelmed I've been when I saw Annies Danger Magnet Birthday post! I was so stunned when I saw my banner in Safari-favorite-bookmark preview and I had to look twice until I realised that this is not my blog - no it's the Danger Magnet!! She is such a lovely sweetheart, Thanks again Sweetie! Truly lovers you!

I got even some funny and lovely eCards form FireCrotch, STY and MrsRobward! Thanks for thinking of my birthday!

Last but not least: Thanks to all the wishes I got yesterday in Twitter. Mostly I couldn't answer because my brain was so woozy from the general anesthesia and I still had my parents here and I couldn't tweet as much as I liked. But be sure, I read them all! Thanks to Seesmic and TweetDeck I can't miss them!

And now Mini-E tells me I need to take my medis and rest! He really takes very well care of me and it's god that he's so cold, my cheek thanks him, a lot! (noooo don't get this wrong naughty girls, I'm talking about the cheek in my face!!!)

yes honey, I´ll do whatever you wants...

And I´ll let you go with the present I got from Annie. It´s such an wonderful video that I´ll like to share it with you, too. Thanks again Annie, the present was nothing else than PERFECT!
