Midnight Sun is the first novel in the Twilight saga from Edward’s point of view. It is very interesting to see the story through Edward because he has so many conflicting thoughts about Bella and her well-being around him. I would suggest reading this book after you finish reading the entire Twilight saga because it will help patch up some holes left in the story after the last book. My favorite part of this story is Edward’s protectiveness towards Bella and she doesn’t even know it.

The Land of Stories The Enchantress Returns is the second book in the Land of Stories series. It once again follows Alex and Conner Bailey as they try to stop the evil enchantress, the one who cursed Sleeping Beauty, before it’s too late. I like how this book brought back all the same characters from the first book. My favorite part is when Alex and Conner meet Mother Goose and my favorite characters are Mother Goose and Froggy. I really enjoyed the ending of this book.
