In the past 24 hours I have officially become a twilighter. It easy to see why this book is the #1 New York Times Bestseller and even more obvious to see why it is in the top ten for “Most Reluctant Readers”. I am definitely a “reluctant reader”. Only 1 other author (Nicholas Sparks) has captured me quite like Stephenie Meyer. I’ve never been much of a reader, but when I find something I like. I can’t put it down. I bought the book last night, began reading it about 10:30 and was up until 3 this morning. I would not have stopped then but the pages were becoming a blur as my body was telling me it’s time for bed. Had I not been going to the hospital at 7 this morning to be with a friend giving birth, I would have been right back at it this morning. So after coming home from the hospital, having a bite to eat and taking a well needed nap that I simply could not resist, I dived back into Forks, Washington and lusted over Edward. Now some may argue that I am an immature reader. And maybe I did just jump on the bandwagon, but after seeing previews for the movie, and knowing for certain that I wanted to see it, I had to read the book first. From what I’ve read online, Meyer made sure the movie stuck to the book. So I hope to not be disappointed. And who could resist Robert Pattinson? He can suck my blood any day!! 
I’m gonna choose not to discuss any of the specifics of the book, in hopes that others might read it and that I do not spoil it for them. It truly is a page turner, proven by my numb ass and painful back from not moving off the couch because I was too enthralled to put it down even for a second to move around the house. Feel free to discuss in the comments. I will be off tomorrow to but the next book in the series, New Moon.

Yes, it is very easy to become obsessed! I’m already half way through the second book and will probably go buy the 3rd today or tomorrow. I literally can’t put it down. Every chance I get to read it, even if for just a few minutes, I am hooked. If you like love stories mixed with vampires…you’ll love it.

vampires aren’t usually my cup of tea & i’m not really one to just jump on the bandwagon because “everyone else is reading/doing it!” ..but the hype is so big, i don’t know! i might have to read it & see.

Well I am a Twilighter myself. I has seen the movie trailer and decided I wanted to read the books. I was hooked. I am totally in love with Edward. I wonder if there is anyone like him out there. If you get a chance try and read Midnight Sun online. The author had several chapters leaked to the internet by someone so she just put the partially done draft on the internet. She says she will most likely not finish it. It is Edward’ take on Twilight. I am almost finished and It is totally great. I know the books are a light read but they are just a great escape. And to be honest in these times don’t we need an escape.
