I'm not one to hide the fact that I love Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books. It took two friends trying to convince me that I would love them for me to even contemplate reading them.
A teenager girl, a teenage vampire and a teenage werewolf. I think Michael J. Fox did the Teen Wolf thing as well as it could be done quite frankly. I wasn't about to get sucked into a Teen Wolf wannabe. These friends continued with their peer pressure and pleaded "just give us 30 pages. If you don't like it, we'll stop hounding you."
I gave them 30 pages. Six days later I emerged from the fourth book totally in love. I love with Edward, Bella, Jacob, the Cullens, Mr. Swan and Stephenie Meyer (and happily eating crow). The books are about vampires and werewolves, but it's also about some really great characters. People you grow to love. Stephenie Meyer brings you into her world with these characters, makes them your friends and gives you a deep connection to her fantasy world.
During that 6 day marathon of reading I lost serious amounts of sleep. Not only because I couldn't put the book down, but also because I would dream about flipping through the pages and wondering what I read next. It was exhausting and exciting.
I officially became a Twi-Hard. I stood in line for a midnight showing of the Twilight movie. I was seriously disappointed.
Now I've got tickets to New Moon. Becca, my midnight viewing Twi-Hard sister, got tickets. There is a new director, some sweet special effects on the previews and maybe, just maybe that will help. The New Moon book was my least favorite in the series. My expectations are low.
If things on ye olde blog are quite for the next couple days it's because I'm re-reading New Moon.
I am a Twi-Hard afterall, spidermonkey.
