Here it is...your moment of Robert Pattinson

Thankful for Robert Pattinson and his hair!

If you celebrate Thanksgiving you're likely stuffed full and ready for a post turkey nap - but first, let's be thankful for the many hair styles Robert Pattinson has blessed us with over the years.

                                And lets be thankful it's no longer either of these below... and thankful his beautiful face hid the uniqueness of both 'styles'! :-)           Thankful for Rob. Thankful for all of you.  Happy Thanksgiving.

Patty Blount has been a reader of the blog for years and contacted us about this 4-book series, CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK, that would be a great way to start our RobHoliday ROBsessed Giveaways. Joining 3 other authors, Jeannie Moon, Jolyse Barnett and Jennifer Gracen, Patty has written sweet and emotional stories with some naughty and nice love scenes. ;) The novellas are themed for the holidays and share interwoven characters. Check out some more in the synopses, listed in the book order with Patty penning the last book:

THIS CHRISTMAS - Jeannie Moon
Single mother Sabrina Gervais has built a happy life with her daughter Charlotte in their eastern Long Island hometown of Holly Point. Having Charlie meant putting some of her own dreams on hold, but Sabrina is content to surround herself with family and friends, safe from the realities of the outside world. She had enough of that when the man she loved broke her heart. 

Jake Killen’s career in professional hockey has brought him many rewards on and off the ice, but returning to New York brings back a flood of memories. When he sees Sabrina again, he discovers that he didn’t just away from her ten years ago, but also from their unborn child. Struggling with anger, guilt, and chemistry that’s off the chart, Sabrina and Jake wonder if they can find love again and, this Christmas, make all their wishes come true. 

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS - Jennifer Gracen
Cassandra Baines almost has it all: a flourishing career as one of the youngest English Lit assistant professors at NYU, an apartment in a city she adores, and a close circle of lifelong girlfriends that are like sisters. The only thing she doesn’t have is someone special to share it with. She’s been married to her work since Sean McKinnon broke her heart seven years ago. 

Musician and bar owner Sean McKinnon keeps busy – too busy for a love life. He blew it with Cassie all those years ago, and no one has held a candle to her since. 

But then one fateful night, of all the people in New York City, Cassandra walks into his bar, and he’s drawn to her as strongly as ever. She wants nothing to do with him, but he’s not going to give up so easily. 

Can a bit of New York Christmas magic help two people take a second chance on true love?

A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW - Jolyse Barnett
Adirondack girl-in-transition Jade Engel comes home to recharge after ending a career she never truly wanted, but soon realizes she’s in danger of also being swept off her feet by the boy-next-door, her former best friend, Ben Stephens. If only he’d stop kissing her every time she falls into his arms. 

Everything local celebrity Ben Stephens ever wanted is in Starling. Then Jade comes home after an eternity away and sends his simple world into a tailspin. He’s determined to pursue her—the one girl who got away. But when their friends-with-benefits arrangement blows up in their faces, will they have the courage to put their pasts to rest in order to forge a future together?

GOODNESS AND LIGHT - Patty Blount
Thirteen years ago, two teens met on the ramp to Ground Zero, on a cold and snowy day, strangers bonding in a moment of grief. 

The boy pressed a crystal snowflake ornament into the girl’s hand and disappeared into the crowd, unaware that his simple act of kindness saved her from the guilt that threatened to consume her. 

Since losing her mom, Elena Larsen hasn’t set foot in New York City -- until now. Agreeing to help her sister prepare for her baby’s birth seems like a good way to spend Christmas and Elena vows not to let the monstrous guilt that weighs on her heart ruin everything. But those plans go awry when she meets Lucas Adair, a man whose own grief and guilt just might rival her own. 

When Elena discovers Lucas is the boy who gave her that crystal snowflake all those years ago, she can’t accept it as the sign Lucas believes it to be. For her, it means only one thing --- even beyond the grave, her mother can never forgive Elena for breaking her heart. 

For Lucas, New York is hallowed ground that he can never leave. He spends his days working in the Financial District and his evenings volunteering and it’s almost enough to help him forget what he did. Lucas knows better than to make plans with a woman who will soon be leaving, yet can’t help himself. There’s something about Elena that pulls him in. He doesn’t put much faith in signs but even he starts to believe Elena is his absolution. Now, he only has to convince her.

FanFic Friday:
I'm still reading the adventures in Nightingale which feels like a great read for the holidays. The writing continues to transport me and I'm often bothered when I'm pulled away from the story. That's when you know it's good. But it's thanksgiving and I want to take a moment to say thank you to counselor. If you've been reading Deep in the Heart of Me like I've been suggesting or because you're a counselor addict like me, then you know she's given the blog many shoutouts for months when I bring up her stories here. It's like a back and forth secret admirer thing going on - except it's not so secret if you're following along with us. Thank you, counselor, for checking out ROBsessed and being so appreciative of our fiction posts. We hope to feature published stories from you one day because you're certainly gifted and your worlds are ones to get lost in. Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving! Robert Pattinson wants you to let your thanks express itself

Happy Thanksgiving! Robert Pattinson wants you to let your thanks express itself

If you're stateside, you might be elbow deep in prepping some good home-cookin' right now. It's a holiday of thanks for the US but it's a time we can share thanks all around the world. I've been having a Cosmopolis love fest since the film was recognized yesterday on a top 10 list and I'm continuing my appreciation for Rob's work in that film.

I'm thankful for this review from HeyUGuys for the Cosmopolis UK Blu-ray. I adore and appreciate Rob's portrayal of Edward but it's time for his talent to flex. I feel like Cosmopolis was the turning point for great things to come for him professionally. Here's an excerpt from the review but read the whole thing if you truly enjoyed Cosmopolis:

Say what you will about the Twilight series but you can’t lay the blame at the feet of Robert Pattinson who is just playing an iconic character written to appeal to young teenage girls. Common opinion seems to be that once the series is over, Pattinson is pretty much done. His work in Cosmopolis proves that he is actually the real deal, Pattinson is in every scene and carries the film with ease having to cope with heavy dialogue in scenes that seem to favour a really long take. His portrayal of the character is flawless, a world of pain in his eyes always simmering below the surface of his controlled and manicured exterior. ...Cosmopolis is perhaps the most un-commercial film released this year but somehow starring everyone’s favourite pin-up. It’s also one of the most rewarding experiences this year if you have the ear and patience for it and a timely film about the fragility of our world and the people who control it.

I'm thankful for some more UK outlets with awesome things to say:

Blogomatic: Pattinson is in some ways a revelation in this, or some would say he’s reminding us that he’s not just Twilight. As Eric Packer Robert Pattinson starts off arrogant, you could cynically say the almost robotic way he plays him is like his role in Twilight, which is played much like a plank of wood. This is unfair though because as the film progresses and chaos begins to reign Pattinson changes the character and lets emotion take over, show the weakness of the character as the universe is not doing what is expected, how people don’t do as he says....The fact is though, I’d argue this is David Cronenberg at the top of his game and Robert Pattinson showing just how good an actor he can actually be. I’ve seen some say this is a contender for the film of the year and I’d have to agree in some ways. A truly excellent movie, but one that is not what you expect it to be.
FilmJuice: Pattinson is stunning as Packer...Pattinson may lose a lot of fans due to his cold and unloving take on Packer but he wont be disheartened by that. In fact his talents may just have been opened to a whole new crowd.
TotalFilm: Imperious but impetuous, chilly even when he’s chillin’, Pattinson ably holds his own in a film that’s essentially a relay race of cameos from great actors who are as visibly stoked as he is to work with Cronenberg.
MovieMuser: Even those who struggle through the early stages will probably perk up at the end, which turns into an excellent two-hander between Pattinson and Paul Giamatti, who plays a downtrodden would-be assassin.

I'm thankful fans are lucky in the UK that get to enjoy Cosmopolis on DVD/Blu-ray now even though I have several more weeks to go. *tight smile* ;)
Be sure to pic up the DVD/Blu-ray if it's available in your country or on your player!

I'm thankful for RPAustralia & Roberta for the amazing screen caps from the Blu-ray BTS extras. It's awesome to see Rob go in and out of character just in images.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving feast if you celebrate the day! Loads more pics after the cut!
