This is only the second time I've read Breaking Dawn since it came out. I loved it then but I think I enjoyed it more this time. I saw a lot of things differently this go around. I don't know if it was just because of the movies or other factors [fanfic].

There were things that I didn't really remember from before, and other scenes that will always be embedded in my brain. I laughed a lot (mostly when it came to Emmett teasing Bella). I wanted to hug Jacob for the agony he went through in the beginning. I didn't dislike him the first time but I definitely have a different view now that I am partly Team Jacob (not for Bella, just in general).

The Ness thing never bothered me but I find that I appreciate her even more now. Her existence sort of fascinates me. I want to sit down with Carlisle and pick his brain.

It's also nice to see Edward happy (except for the stress of the outside sources) with Bella. And for Bella to still have her "human" family in her life. If she had to stay away from Charlie or even Jacob, I would have been so hurt for her.

Seeing it all play out in my head was a lot easier during this second reading; probably because of the three movies that are already out.

It made me happy to re-read after all this time. I even want to start all over with Twilight and read them back to back #toomanybookstoolittletime
