Welcome to Litsy!

I‘d never given much thought to dying—though I‘d had reason enough in the last few months—but even if I had, I wouldn‘t have imagined it like this.

This was so much more compelling than the original story. It was definitely fascinating seeing the story from a different perspective. It felt like I was reading a new story for the first time. The ending truly took me off guard. I would definitely recommend reading this story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love me some Twilight! 😁 This was an interesting twist.

This was a bit of a mistake since I had just finished Midnight Sun. It was really repetitive to the original Twilight. The genders of a lot of the characters are switched but not all. It‘s a bit blah until you get to the end, it‘s more like an alternate ending for twilight.

No!!!! I just wasted my time on this book!!!! It is a gender swap of Twilight. I thought that Beau was a weak character and couldn't defend himself. No never again!!!!

Oh man am I back on the Twilight train this year, haha. I saw this at Target and obviously had to buy! Honestly didn‘t even know it was a thing, but I am so glad it is! I loved this spin on the whole series and kinda wish we could get all of Bella & Edward‘s story played out like this... 🙂

Twilight kick lately. Reading this and have Midnight Sun for afterwards. My 9th grade heart is content.

Keeping up with my theme of vampires this month. Twilight reimagined had so much scope for better and different “reimagining”. This was the same thing all over again with a few differences here and there. The major change? A gender swap! Wow 🙄
I couldn‘t see it and prefer Twilight the way it is.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Book description ⬇️

🚨🚨SPOILER ALERT STOP READING NOW 🚨🚨

The ending is different from the original.

One of my sisters confessed that she was secretly enjoying the new Midnight Sun book but couldn‘t bring it to work because she had an intellectual rep to maintain. I got this one from the library, since there was a long wait for the other. The author really beat the proverbially dead sparkly vampire horse here. It‘s made me question my pandemic reading choices. Nothing that takes too much brain power, escape reads. Have your book choices changed?

Part of me is so embarrassed that I bought this. 😓 But the other part of me knows I'm probably never going to stop loving Twilight and it was only $7 so who even cares? 😌 #notevensorry

Besides...I've been really craving vampires lately, and I've got to be prepared for Midnight Sun coming out in just a few weeks! 😁👿⚰💖

I started this about a month ago, and I still haven‘t finished. Maybe I‘ll try and come back to it another time, but this is kind of brutal. It makes me wonder if I would like reading the Twilight books still, now that I‘m older...

I‘d be lying if I said I didn‘t love reading the Twilight books a million years ago. Why not a reimagining?

Life and Death - Stephenie Meyer
So, I liked this book pretty well. And I loved the alternate ending! But, the Beau and Edythe just didn't grab me as much as Edward and Bella did. Because of the swap, some of the scenes were down right comical - Beau riding on Edythe's back, for example. He compared himself to a Gorilla riding a gazelle lol. It was a good read for the most part. Now I have to reread Twilight and see if I can spot all the changes!

When I heard Meyer was releasing a new version of twilight a few years ago I made a bee line to the book shop to grab a copy. I wasn‘t sure how this would go, it was to be different obviously and I honestly loved the original twilight. But I truely enjoyed reading this. Loved Edythe. It‘s not for everyone but I enjoyed the new rendition.

Meh. 2.5 stars. Meyer gender swaps Bella & Edward to become Beau & Edythe to fight allegations that the book is sexist, & somehow makes the book even more sexist. I‘m not sure how that is even possible. Considering that the first 3/4 of the book is almost word for word Twilight with the names swapped, and I love me some Twilight, I don‘t know how it got so boring, but it did. The twist ending was okay, but my heart broke for my favorite, Charlie.

I couldn't resist sharing this double parody! 🤣
Starring Duke and Missi from Daria Cohen's Vampair Series. Safe to say this was NOT the original ending of Ms. Cohen's animation 😅

Yay! Twilight reimagined! I think Meyer was right to do the original story in the gender that she chose to, but that the story totally works flipped around. It gave some interesting insights into the thoughts and backgrounds of the characters, even though strictly speaking they were different characters - they were supposed to be the opposite gender version of them.

Very interesting and enjoyable. Well done Stephenie Meyer!

typo...should say "guess"

I like the night. Without the dark, you'd never see the stars.

I did not like this gender swap version at all. Im not sure if it was because it was young adult or seeing Beau so "weak". It just came off a little cheesy. It is cool that Stephenie Meyer would do this because its interesting to get another point of view plus the gender swap in top of it. I would not recommend.

Afternoon reads. 🍋🍏 #whengrandmababysits #quiethouse

I hardly ever use a real bookmark as a bookmark. This is a business card I picked up at the Halloween festival I went too.

Book date at Panera with my bestie 📚

Recent #bookmail: an order from Zulily that I completely forgot about because it‘s been so long since I placed the order. ???

Tagged book is the one I‘m most giddy about because #Twilight is my favorite series to hateread, by which I mean I hate it but also love reading it. (I rewrite it in my head as I go while simultaneously raging again shitty misogynistic & abusive tropes. It relaxes me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) #bibliophileconfessions

Reading Book 36 of 2018: Twilight Reimagined: Life & Death on my new couch!

Also Book 1 in The Secret Circle Book Club 🌙

I don‘t care what anyone says or thinks. I love the Twilight series and I will die on that hill 🤣🤣. I‘m glad I found this book yesterday because I had heard quite awhile ago about her possibly writing this but didn‘t realize she actually did. Looking forward to reading it.

You know you‘re a book lover when you pose with produce at the grocery store in order to recreate iconic book covers😂

"Right now, I think that humanity is very overrated"

Man... I forgot how slow the first book is. I mean, it's a bit different with the gender roles reversed, though to be honest I keep thinking Beau is a girl. Makes the book a /tad/ more interesting. =P Bella/Edythe 4 life.

Looks like fun! #10Books

1. Twilight
2. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
3. Girl Boss
4. It Ends With Us
5. Divergent
6. Me Before You
7. Baby Doll
8. Dead Ever After
9. The Bronze Horseman
10. Second Chance Summer

I definitely think this book was written because those that fell in love with the story in the beginning are going to buy it regardless. I am enjoying the gender swap and how the story is the same but seems entirely different at the same time. It's holding my attention, so I will count that as a win.

Totally taking inspiration from @Jas16 's post regarding the #moneygrabber prompt. Like E.L. James, this is purely a money making enterprise by Stephanie Meyer that adds nothing new to her saga. 🙄

My daughter was a little concerned when I redid her room and informed her that the little bookcase was not going back in the room after the makeover. I think I made up for it with 3 wall to wall shelves!
