The song for this chapter is Song In My Head by Sherwood
[audio:https://twilightguy.com/music/songinmyhead.mp3]
As I started on this chapter, I couldn’t help but think back on all the memorable snacks I have enjoyed so far while reading, usually munching with one hand and turning the pages with the other to avoid greasy stains on its pages. So far, I have enjoyed popcorn for two of the chapters, some Tex-Mex chips-and-salsa for another, leftover macaroni a few weeks ago, and today: half of a pepperoni pizza.
My reasoning for doing two things at once is that I usually discover upon picking up the book that I haven’t eaten in six or so hours and I had better do two things at once before I blasphemously nibble on the pages. Also, being starving, exhausted and up past midnight makes me feel more like the way true Twilighters end up after picking up the book: not even wanting to stop reading for such frivolous necessities required to keep oneself in the land of the living. So without further ado, my pizza-stained fingers flip through Chapter the Tenth!
Speaking of eating, I find it interesting the things I discovered in this chapter about Edward’s own hunting habits. I recently discovered the meaning of the term ‘vegetarian’ as used in Twilight, and to see the way that Edward gets around that to keep himself alive is certainly one I hadn’t expected. But of course, I’m wondering exactly what happens to him in the sunlight, and what would happen if he does drink human blood? I am catching something behind him being able to smell Bella from so far away and follow her scent, and even though I don’t think it has been said yet, I am thinking that he is actually smelling the scent of her blood. Is they why he calls himself dangerous? I am thinking that it is becoming very hard for him to resist.
Being a writer, I can’t help picking up on funny phrases and just laughing uproariously trying to imagine what they could mean. Any writer will know what part of this sentence caught me:
I couldn’t argue, with the eyes or the motivation, and it was a moot point anyway.
What? Moot Point? I apologize to all the non-writers out there, but when I see that phrase, a great many things come to mind, including but not limited to:
Davy Crockett, in his favorite Moot Point pose:
–
After our coach called the referee an asparagus, the opposing team was given one Moot Point:
Sorry, I just can’t help what goes through my crazy brain. If you want to know the actual definition of the term, I discovered it over here.
Anyhow, this chapter was full of great stuff and I am getting the feeling that it is lining up for something big. I also have a feeling that it will be in The Famous Chapter 13, which causes nearly everyone to swoon just by it’s very mention. This also leads me to a question out of curiosity: what chapter is the best in Twilight? I want to see which one I should be looking forward to with greatest anticipation 😀 .
Next chapter coming soon!

Chapter 14 is the best, IMO. I wish I could tell you why, but I think you’ll see once you get there.
Oooo, yeah, keep going! You’re so close to really amazing stuff!
In Twilight, I loved 13, 14 and 23
By far though..my favorite chapter in the entire series is chapter 22 in Eclipse. I’m sure most would agree with me. ;D
CHAPTER 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love it!
Chapter 13 and Chapter 14 are by far the best chapters in the book. They are like the pure essence of Twilight lol happy reading! =]
hmm, I’d have to say ch 1,2, 3, 4,5,6,7 oh and then there’s 8, and 9, 10 ,11, 0fcourse, 13, o I forgot 12
well, I guess you see my point…
Definitely chapter 13… I’m with everyone else on this. It is my absolute favorite chapter after the blood typing one (just because that makes me break into a fit of laughter when I read it). Though, I would probably say that ANY chapter but 23 in Eclipse is the best. I really hate the end of that chapter.
Best chapter?
Thats hard.
I guess it would have to be thirteen.
I think it’s the best because, that’s where it all started-I mean with Stephenie’s dream and all.
The best chapter is in New Moon. But if I had to choose from Twilight…I would fo with chapter 13 as well.
chapter 13 is THE BEST in twilight….
new moon is going to make you want to tear out pages
look forward to chapter 20 in eclipse!! it think its the best in all the books…. and for some reason, i like the last 3 chapters of twilight. i 4got what the numbers were, but those are good(to me) too
Twilight is totally awesome! My favorite chapter is 13.
I love chapter 13, I really do, accept I’d have to say that 14 is my absolute favorite in Twilight.
Chapter 13 releaves alot of unanswered questions and clears up alot of confusing. u will be doing all of head nodds, mmmmmss,,aahhhhhs, and oooooo i get it now!
In Twilight, the best chapter is probably the baaseball game (I forgot the chapter number). That was awesome. However, the best chapter in the entire series has to be chapter 23 in Eclipse (although Eclipse chapter 20 is a close second). It is simply amazing for reasons you will see when you get to it.
Its ridiculous that at just the thought of chapter thirteen, my heart beats faster. I can’t believe you even have the time to write such things while reading this book!!
Ok, I have quite a few things to say, mostly because this is my frist comment. Ok, my first thing I have to say is what you are doing is amazing and I look forward to your blogs everyday. I really hope you countie with other books(if you need suggestions I’ve got lots) Secondly, I love your pictures, there quite amazing! Anyways, I love that your a writer too(ditto). Thridly or fourly IDK which, anyways, I have to say that chapter 13 is quite amzing, and yes, I do go somewhat faint whenever I think about it(if I lose my train of thought that’s why). But, personally, my favortie chapter is…oh shoot I forgot the number, but it’s called “The Angel” or something along those lines, it’s towards the end. there is no real reason why I like that chapter best, I just do.
the game is my favorite chapter 🙂
I have to admit that 13 is the best chapter in Twilight. So much is revealed in this chapter, its awesome. Chapter 14 is right up there with it. But my absolute favorite chapter is bear the end of New Moon. Keep reading; your getting close.
Hmm.
Chapter 13 is the best chapter for me.
Because, Bella and Edward confessed so much to each other that it just made me smile and giggle while reading the whole chapter. I still can remember it until now.
But it’s better if you read New Moon. Cause there, Edward and Bella prove how much they love each other— that they’d die to save one another, thats the best thing you could ever read.
trust me.
Kaleb i lovelove you to bits and pieces HOWEVER…
i’m sorry dear but who doesn’t know what a moot point is?
you honestly hadn’t heard the expression before?
allow me to quote the show Friends:
Joey: it’s a moo point …
Rachel: … uh, a moo point? …
Joey: yea, a moo point … it’s a cow’s opinion, it doesn’t matter … it’s moo …

there you have it. 🙂
I can take or leave chapter 13. It’s chapter 23 that gets me–most beautiful thing I’ve ever read.
CHAPER 13!!!!!! that’s the best by far!!!!!!!
I’m glad that you have so wisely decided to munch whilst eating. I frequently forget that Twilight is not enough to sustain oneself. So I too have adopted the lifestyle of reading and snacking, makes life so make easier and the plus side is now you don’t have to try to tune out your rumbling stomach (it can get so loud and annoying).
I can’t remember what chapter it was, but the Port Angeles chapter was my favorite :] To me Chapter 13 was a second… I guess it’s because the Port Angeles Chapter just made me excited for the two of them and their relationship (or, at the time, what could become one).
I know that everyone has said 13, and their not wrong. I just wanted my input as well. 🙂 Moot point.
Wait till you get to Eclipse, every chapter is the best. lol
Chapter 13 is the best chapter of ALL THE BOOKS. But Chapter 14 is really good. Mainly because it’s a continuation of the awesomeness from Chapter 13.
I have to say chapter 14 is my favorite. It takes what is explained in 13 a little bit further… in a good way.
Chapter 22 just plain rocks. The structure of this chapter combined the explanations given are pure genius. Being an aspiring author Kaleb, you will understand what I am referring to as soon as you read it.
Don’t you love those little phrases like “moot point”? You rarely hear them in casual conversation and when you see them written you can’t help but take note. Another phrase Stephenie uses (in New Moon I think) is “no dice”. I’m fond of that one too. It is much more interesting than saying “not a chance”.
CHAPTER 13!!!!! get to it asap…I love ur little comments!
Chapter 13, for sure 🙂
But 22 is one of my favorites too
I quite like the beginning few chapters lol I dont really remember specific chapters as i read it so quick and only once (I like to forget plots before i read it again). But yeh the beginning where Edward is still mysterious and all the characters are being established, seems more interesting to me 🙂 Spose that makes me the odd one out lol
Nice, Kaleb… Nice
I love chapter 12,13, and 23
I believe it’s chapter called “the game” which contains something special to me…. at least I THINK it’s what it is called =) if not, you’ll get what I meant later =)
I have to say that chapter 22(I think that’s it) is my favorite. Yes, chapter 13 does make me swoon..but I just don’t like it that much!
You’ve already read what I think are the best chapters… ‘Phenomenon’ and ‘Port Angeles’. Though I also like ‘Confessions’ and ‘An Impasse’.
Ahhhhh. The meadow scene really is wonderful. Chapter 13 is the best chapter in Twilight, in my opinion. It’s just, like, wow! I don’t know if you (as a boy)will love it as much as we girls do, since we are mostly swooning over Edward and his bad-boy charm, but hopefully you will like it anyway. I think you will. Question: Are you also going to be posting up your reviews on the chapters of New Moon and Eclipse? What about The Host? I know you bought that one already, cause you said it in one of your earlier posts, so I’m just wondering. I would love for you to review The Host because it really is such an amazing, heart-wrenching book and there is so much to be discussed. =]
ok this is the first time im read you and i love it! i´m from argentina so sorry for mi english but i´m doind the best i can… i promise to get better…
i love chapter 13 i think is an answer very popular!
kisses
Yami
Ah..The famous chapter 13. I’m sure 99.9% of Twilighters know this, but actually chapter 13 was based off a dream that Stephanie had, and that dream is what started the three book (soon to be four) series that we all obsess about.
This is my favorite Twilight site. Mostly because all they guys at my school think that Twilight is a stupid love story, and that vampires don’t exist. (Boy are they stupid. ;D) This other girl in my classes and I are the main Twilighters at school. Everyone calls us the ‘Screeching Harpies of Twilight.’
I’m so glad that you made this site. It shows that Twilight isn’t just a girl book.
As for your snack for chapter 13; you may be way to into the book to even focus on reading. But it does disappoint me that your getting grease stains on your book. So for chapter 13, I suggest something non-greasy. Ever tried sun chips?
Haha, love the site. Keep on reading!
Lol, loved your rant on “moot point.”
You are a very observant reader, and I can’t wait for you to continue reading!
My favorite chapter in Twilight is definitely Chapter 13. After all, it is basically a transcription of the brilliant Stephenie Meyer’s own dream, the one that started everything.
Nice. I like your compasions. And yes I must agree with basically every single person who has posted so far . . . Chapter 13 is THE best chapter in Twilight…a lot more tie for best in the entrie series but 13 is the winner for Twilight.
If you like gummy candy maybe you should try gummy bears or jelly beans. There yummy, delicious and don’t make your fingers greasy.
Have fun reading!
I have to brief (my mom has officialy grounded me from all twilighty things…i know she’s evil…) But I deffinently agree with the girl that said Eclipse is the best! Cuz well it is! The chapter before the last of eclipse is the Best of all of them…it’s just so…so…yah it’s above words! Kaleb you deffinently have to keep reading…and blogging! cuz if you stop i’ll be left without recorses (my mom took away my books…she says i’m “overly obsessed” the funny part is i walked in her room at 10:00 last night and she had New Moon cracked open and she was reading frantically…hopefully she’ll come around to my point of view…oops she just got home) Bye
Yah I agree with Jessica! Eclipse is deffinently the best and ch. 27 “needs” is the best! I love the last page of the chapter it’s histarical…and cute! Too bad for Jessica and the wicked mom though, but by her description her mom will definently soon be hooked.
Hey…i wonder if any of you twilight fanatics (not a term meant to be offenseve you all have my undying respect) have all of the chapters memorized? I don’t…but if someone were to open 1 of the books and read a passage i could tell them who was talking and what was happening…except New Moon i’ve only read it 2 while the others… *cough* *5* *cough* For reasons i will not explain it is my least favorite book probably because the other two are so great.
the last half of the book…..but its a ‘moot point’
hahahhhahha i crack myself up. -_-
The best chapter for me is Chapter 8 or Port Angeles. It embodies a lot of what Edward is and a lot of what Bella is all in one. Edward the protector, the curious, the frustrated. Bella the weak, the normal, the fearless.
I could tag other descriptives to both of them, but it just seems like this chapter largely gives the reader a chance to predict how Bella and Edward might react in all sorts of situations.
Well, of course, I think Chapter Thirteen of Twilight is easily one of the best.
It all falls into place.
Congrats on Chapter Ten.
Keep it up, Kaleb!
Well they are right…..you do catch on quick….if Chapter 13 is already famous then it must be good….
AND IT IS….IT ROCKS MY SOX :p
Hey, Twilight Guy. I’ve been watching for awhile, but this is my first time commenting.
I too am a writer in love with the Twilight Saga, and the way Stephenie Meyer’s writes is unlike most things I’ve read as of late.
‘Moot point’ caught my attention too. I think she uses the same phrase in Eclipse at least once.
Chapter 13 is the best chapter not just for the turning point in the book, but it is the chapter explainging the dream Stephenie had that inspired the Twilight Saga.
But, my personal favorite is chapter 18. Towards the end of chapter 17, there is a moment were it gets very carefree and fun, then out of nowhere, the suspense begins. It’s from this moment it’s hard to put down the book. Once you finish chapter 17, I recommend going to the bathroom, getting some food, taking a nap maybe, because it’s from this point the book becomes one with your hands. Chapter 18 is the biggest turning point.
I can’t believe how many times I just used the word ‘point’ in that last paragraph.
