Sherlock Holmes (with rain) - Down To Sleep #560

Midnight Sun to help you sleep (Part 7)

The way Edward is a million times more interesting and has so much character development every time we jump into this book, and I was already Team Edward, but this book is so much better than I was expecting (I didn't think it would be bad, it's just so much more, and i'm very happy to be reading it with you)

Happy Holidays, and enjoy

Midnight Sun (Part 5) - Down To Sleep #554

Midnight Sun to help you sleep. Part 5.

The aftermath of the crash and that hospital scene, some extra thoughts on the story at the end of this one as it's a really important scene so a little book club ramble on Edward. Will definitely have to do a deep dive on the movies some day, the more I read this particular book and we know what Edward is thinking, is fascinating!

Enjoy

Midnight Sun (Part 3) - Down To Sleep #549

Reading Midnight Sun to help you sleep, Part 3 of the flipped POV Twilight adventure.

I'm enjoying the tone change in this one, it feels like Twilight from a more "fun" angle, and I always enjoyed the Cullen gang, so seeing more from them interacting each other and more dialogue, great!

There's also a lot of comfort in returning to the more subdued and simple start to everything, as the books got "bigger" and so did the stakes, it's really quite cosy just reading about Edward s...

Midnight Sun (Part 1) - Down To Sleep #542

It's time.

Midnight Sun is the first book in the Twilight saga but this time told from Edward's POV, as he struggles with his nature and can hear the thoughts of others inside his own head. It's perfect for Halloween season and this first chapter definitely gives a dark twist on the tale we read all those years ago (he is a vampire after all, and has some interesting thoughts)

So excited to read this one with you. Shall we begin?

Goodnight <3<...

The Haunting of Hill House (Part 3) - Down To Sleep #538

The cozy spooky season continues, with Hill House (Part 3) - No big scares of anything in this one, just that eerie but oddly comforting prose of Shirley Jackson to help you sleep.

These characters are fun, I really like Theodora and Eleanor so far! And now 2 new characters join the inhabitants of HILL HOUSE.

Fun fact: You can get your own "Cup of Stars" in the Down To Sleep shop 2025-10-14 22:26:47 +0000 UTC View Post
