"Nothing Makes Me Stronger Than Your Fragile Heart..."

I'm sure you guys already saw this coming, and perhaps wondered what was taking me so long to post a Breaking Dawn tribute. I cannot contain my excitement right now! What makes this all the more exciting is that I didn't spend the past year fangirling so hard that by the time I actually see the film, I'm simply 'whelmed.' I wasn't a huge fan of Breaking Dawn, and whenever I think about it, I just think...'what?' Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the wedding, the honeymoon, and all of the stomach fluttering romance! Everything I've seen thus far looks so beautiful, I can't wait. I feel like this will be some of the best performances we've seen out of our favorite people. It's weird, but I feel like I'll probably cry through most of the heart-wrenching scenes. I'll even be the dork and admit that I feel like someone close to me is getting married. I can't help it...

The Breaking Dawn Soundtrack, as is usual of Twilight soundtracks, is wonderful! There are so many beautiful love songs and instrumentals. My favorites include Iron & Wine's special wedding rendition of 'Flightless Bird, American Mouth,' Christina Perri's 'A Thousand Years,' Carter Burwell's 'Love Death Birth,' and Turning Page by Sleeping At Last. Turning Page is especially beautiful, and I couldn't help doing a ukulele cover of it. It perfectly embodies Edward's love for Bella, and is Midnight Sun in song. It's my first cover in a long while, but I'm happy with it!

I hope you guys like it! 

What are your favorite songs from the soundtrack, and what are you looking forward to most in the film? The Wedding? The Honeymoon? The heinous birthing scene?

Random Bouts of Fangirl: Breaking Dawn Edition

I just got my copy of Breaking Dawn, and I have to say, I love the way this edition looks. I'll admit, I've been uber excited to re-read it. It's crazy! Well, let the reading begin!

"I was with Edward in my happy place"

THIS IS NOT A HATE POST! 

I'm shaking my head right now because I knew that I would eventually end up taking back the scathing review of my first read, and giving it another shot.  Why? Because it's been so disappointing to believe that the last book, the one we'd all been waiting for, was such...a disheartening mess. Its hard, coming from the Twi-Crazed history I have. 

Now, I wont go into details of everything I hated, because, there's no point. But, I hope that after reading it again, I see things differently! Perhaps, I can be reformed. I have friends who think that this book was the very best one in the series, and it makes me wonder if we read the same novel.

Being a girl, of course I already LOVED reading about Edward and Bella getting married, and making love for the first time! So with that love in mind, I'll forge forward. 

What did you think of the novel? Yay or Nay? Encourage me! :-).

{EDIT: My Breaking Dawn Rant<-----, Some were asking what my dislikes were, so I leafed through some old Live Journal posts (memories!), and I found them. But I love that even then I was dissatisfied with my response, and wanted to give it another try}
