We are on chapter 8 of our countdown that means 17 more days until the release of New Moon. Join us by reading a chapter a day together. So in order to help pass the time while we wait for New Moon to be released, I will continue to post a thread everyday for each chapter in the book, counting down the days until the official release of the film on November 20th.
Chapter 8: Adrenaline
“The motorcycle was better than I’d dreamed. It had served it’s purpose. I’d cheated-broken my promise. I’d been needlessly reckless. I felt a little less pathetic now that the promises had been broken on both sides.”
Ahhh the bike chapter! I love how much detail Stephenie Meyer has given us, when it comes to breaks, the clutch & throttle of the bikes, not to mention the very detailed account of Bella’s emotions as she prepares for her first official ride.
Here are some of my favorite highlights from this chapter:
- Jacob shirtless in Bella’s truck on the way to the ER, ok ok there you guys happy now? I admit it, I would like to see this part in the movie(shh don’t tell Edward!)

- Quote from pg. 192 “Jacob really did look older than sixteen-not quite forty, but maybe older than me. Quil didn’t have too much on him in the muscles department, for all that Jacob claimed to be a skeleton. The muscles were the long wiry kind, but they were definitely there under the smooth skin. His skin was such a pretty color, it made me jealous. Jacob notice my scrutiny. “What?” He asked, suddenly self-conscious.“Nothing. I just hadn’t realized before. Did you know, you’re sort of beautiful?” Once the words slipped out, I worried that he might take my impulsive observation the wrong way. But Jacob rolled his eyes. “You hit your head pretty hard, didn’t you.” “I’m serious.” “Well, then, thanks. Sort of.” I grinned. “Your sort of welcome.” What in the world? Who taught Bella how to flirt? lol
- Jacob & Bella go on their hiking trip to find “The Meadow”, I personally thought they were going to be attacked by some ravenous newborns, or bears & then Jacob would turn in to this giant mutant and slaughter them all! But we all know that wasn’t the case.
Not too much going on in this chapter, but that’s alright folks the best is yet to come! We all know its worth our while, teehee.
