Twilight


I finally gave in to peer pressure and agreed to read the Twilight books. I borrowed them from a friend at church. I happened to be sick when she gave them to me, so I stayed home from work a couple of days. I read them in a week! I couldn't put them down. Then I kept them for about a month, and I'd go back and read my favorite parts. When I realized I was going to have to give them back, or she was going to come physically take them from me, I decided I needed my own set. I got all hardcover, and the first book is the collectors' edition. It has a ribbon bookmark. They arrived this weekend, so I started from the beginning and I'm reading through them slowly now. The first time I read them, I just wanted to see what would happen next, so I rushed through. Then when I went back, I just wanted to read my favorite parts. Now I'm taking my time, and it's amazing how much I'm picking up on that I missed the first time. Also, knowing what's going to happen, I'm picking up on subtle details that I totally missed the first time. I'm definitely a fan. I would recommend reading them, if you haven't. Try borrowing someone's copy of the first book. After you get about half way through, you'll be addicted, and go out and buy your own set - like I did!

I have got to get these books! I looked for them while we were in Orlando, but didn't have any luck. Maybe I'll find them here this weekend. Everyone I know that has read them loves them.
