My students keep a reading journal (or kind of do, most of them forget) and one student showed me her copy of the latest Twilight book- Eclipse I think?- and said haha, now you'll have to read about it in my journal! I sighed and prayed for her soul. (And yep, this is the same student who's corrections to my Twilight worksheet I posted previously)
As part of her journal entry, she had this quote, followed by her commentary:
"If I had my way, I would spend the majority of my time kissing Edward. There wasn't anything I'd experienced in my life that compared to the feeling of his cool lips, marble hard but always so gentle, moving with mine. [...] So it surprised me a little when his fingers braided themselves into my hair, securing my face to his." (p. 73)
Hehehe, and you wonder why I love the Twilight saga so much! The romance is just as great as Romeo & Juliet <3
To which I very professionally replied in the margins "Ew, how are cool, marble lips appealing? I don't see the draw."
I was too horrified by that to even notice the "securing my face to his" bit. Really? Securing it? Is that the best you could do Meyer? Good grief.
