The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner.

I watched his body change. He crouched on the roof, one hand gripping the edge. All that strange friendliness disappeared, and he was a hunter. That was something I recognized, something I was comfortable with because I understood it
I turned off my brain. It was time to hunt. I took a deep breath, drawing in the scent of the blood inside the humans below. They weren't the only humans around, but they were the closest. Who you were going to hunt was the kind of decision you had to make before you scented your prey.
It was too late now to choose anything.

My Thoughts:
This is a great book! Only took me a day to read. It was really great hearing the story from a newborn's side. I felt really bad for Bree, not knowing much about what was going on. I'm really glad that Stephenie wrote this book. Loved it! Definitely read this if you read the rest of the saga!

The Melancholy Death Of Oyster Boy

From breathtaking stop-action animation to bittersweet modern fairy tales, filmmaker Tim Burton has become known for his unique visual brilliance -- witty and macabre at once. Now he gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children -- misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and the tragedy of these dark yet simple beings -- hopeful, hapless heroes who appeal to the ugly outsider in all of us, and let us laugh at a world we have long left behind (mostly anyway).

My Thoughts..
I wouldn't call it amazing but it is good to pass the time if you're bored. It's basically a book filled with freaky poems and stories. It took me 10 minutes to read.
