1) When did you figure out that "Gran" was really Bella? Were you surprised by the fact that she was looking in a mirror, or did you see it coming? I didn't figure it out until just before Bella figured it out. I just thought it was kind of weird and coincidental that Gran and Bella kept...

1) What were your first impressions of this section? I didn't pay too much attention to it. I knew that I would have no idea what any of it meant until I got to the end of the book. 2) What did you think brought Bella to this place? Where, exactly, did you think they were? I had no idea. I didn't t...

1. Did you figure out right away that they were on their way to prom or did you, like Bella, have something else in mind? Yes, I figured out right away that they were on their way to the prom, and I don't know how Bella possibly deluded herself. Alice doing a makeover on Bella and Edward was wearin...

1. Given everything we learn from Edward about the fact that he was able to stop from drinking Bella's blood, but that he didn't like how she smelled when she had a transfusion, what does that say about his control over the way he thirsts for her blood? Do you think drinking her blood makes it easi...

1. The chapter starts with Bella talking describing the sounds she hears because she is in too much pain to open her eyes. Were you able to put together exactly what happened, or did you have moments when you wondered what took place? Yeah I think I understood what was going on. It sounded like Edw...

1. We learn that Alice's visions change depending on the decisions of the person she is trying to observe. Did this surprise you at all or was this how you always thought her visions worked? And what does this say about the power of our own choices? It did surprise me. I've always thought that peop...

1. What was your reaction when you realized that Alice had sketched Bella's house in Phoenix? I was thinking that James was in Phoenix, at Bella's mother's house, and that they were seriously screwed. I knew he must be planning something bad having to do with her mother. 2. Why do you think Bella c...

1. What did you think tactic Bella uses to get out of her house? Does she go too far? Yep. She hurt Charlie in the worst possible way that she could. She knew that he still wasn't over Renee, and she used that to really hurt him. It was necessary though, to get him to let her go without a fight. 2....

1. We get our first glimpse of "real" vampires in this chapter. What was your impression of them as a group and as individuals? Did you connect the fact that their red eyes had to do with the type of blood they drank? I thought they were scary as hell. I was impressed by Laurent however, ...

1) What did you think of Billy's conversation with Bella and her response? I thought there was no reason for Bella to be worried. I don't think there was any way Billy could warn Charlie about Edward and the rest of the Cullens without breaking the treaty. I think he mainly came to warn Bella. I th...
