My sister, Bless her heart, has made me a freak!!! She became addicted to the books written by Stephanie Meyer..."Twilight". In total, there are now 4 books, with one supposedly no longer being worked on because it was leaked on the internet...which I'm sure I'll be much more upset about once I finish the fourth book and want more.
Anyway, she's been bugging me for probably over a year now to read these books. I've so completely uninterested in doing so...the books are about a vampire falling in love with a mortal. To make things even worse...the books are "young adult"...meaning teenagers. Yea, the vampire and his human mate are in freaking high school. It sounded so completely dumb to me.
But, after my other sister read the books, and several of her co-workers/friends read the books as well...she brought them to me. I had nothing better to do this past Saturday, as I was doing laundry and getting ready for my Milwaukee trip, so I decided to give the first book I try. I was freaking hooked...immediately!!!!
I started Twilight (the first book) on Saturday morning, and finished it Sunday evening. I started the second book immediate after I finished the first book, Sunday evening. I finished the second book on Monday. I was so upset with myself that I didn't bring the third book with me to Milwaukee. But, how was I to know I would read the first two that quickly?? So, in order to get my Edward and Bella fix, I read the first book AGAIN...waiting for Wednesday when I could get home and read. I couldn't get them out of my freaking head.
Last night, I started...and finished...the 625 page third book. I was up until 3:30!!! I'm freaking dying right now. Not so much tired...but I can't get the story out of my head. I have to know what happens. I'm hoping to get a few chapters read today at lunch.
This is so not normal...and I hate admitting how completely obsessed with these books I am. But, I must admit...it's a great change of pace. I've been reading so many political books lately, that I've been getting really depressed about humanity. So, rushing through these books has been a great change of pace. It's about love, and sacrifice, and its just a really sweet and good book. It's probably not going to a classic...it's a pretty quick read to be honest, but i freaking LOVE it.
I can't wait for the movie. Hopefully the on screen Edward can live up the dream I have! :) Gosh, I'm such a loser!!!
Oh...and the conference was excellent too!

Ummm, do I usually steer you wrong? Yes, they are YA but like I say alot, a girl needs some fluff in life. Have you been to her website yet to look at the outtakes of the first 2 books? I'm really jealous that you can spend all that time reading. I could be insulted that you thought they were dumb but I'll keep my mouth shut.
Sad thing is...I don't have that much time to read. I did while I was in Milwaukee, flying and stuff. Ok, who am I kidding, your right...it's great not having kids (including my husband) to take care of. I can read all night every night. Course, my job would start gettign harder to bear. I don't know how I'll make it through 5 more hours here!!!
who would you cast to be the leading actor?
