"Don't be afraid," I murmured.

"We belong together."I was abruptly overwhelmed by the truth of my own words.

This moment was so perfect, so right, there was no way to doubt it.

His arms wrapped around me holding me against him.It felt like every nerve in my body was alive wire.

"Forever," he agreed.



Review

Raechel's Review:

This book blew me away. I couldn't believe it. Everything about Bella and Edward changes, and the way you look at the entire story changes. But I am happy with the way Meyer ended the series. She turned Bella into who she was always meant to be, and the story just takes off. Breaking Dawn is extraordinary, romantic, and keeps you on the edge the whole time. The whole series speaks so much about how love conquers everything, and how you always have a choice. All in all, this book was amazing and belongs on every bookshelf everywhere, along with the rest of the saga.

Of Mice and Men





Of Mice and Men



By John Steinbeck
Historical Fiction


***


Review
Of Mice and Men was a very different book for me. I had never really done a lot of reading in that time period, and it was my first John Steinbeck read (though I am looking forward to reading East of Eden). But I found it to be one of those books that has a very wholesome mood to it. I also found the story to be a very different one, and very sweet. The writing style had almost a light tone to it, even when talking of the darkest events. WARNING, SPOILERS IN THE NEXT SENTENCE! I liked this book because it had a sadder ending, and everyone has told me this will make me a Steinbeck fan. I am a fan of the sad ending.
