As we enjoy, or for some of us, desperately cling to!, these last days of summer, I finally decided to give Stephenie Meyer a try. After all, of all the book reviews you (yes, I'm talking to YOU) submit on the site, it seems like every other one is from the Twilight series!
OMG. After only about 30 pages, I was thoroughly sucked into the world of Bella & Edward. I now see what I was missing! Why didn't I have the thrill and the privilege of falling in love with a vampire while in high school? Woe is me.
After finishing Twilight at breakneck speed, I frantically requested the sequel: New Moon. I am number 222 on the waiting list here at the library. Cue the world's saddest violin music.
I have heard the sequels aren't as good as the first, but I MUST READ MORE. I am a certified addict. While I wait for my number on the waiting list to get smaller and smaller, leading up to that glorious day when the book arrives for me, I will obsessively watch the trailers for the movie and continuously ponder all things Bella & Edward. Where will you be on December 12? You obviously know where I'll be. Are you worried that movie won't be as good as the book? I always worry about that when books get made into movies.
Oh, and for those of you who have been Twilight fans for a while, Breaking Dawn was released on August 2!!!
This feels like the biggest book phenomenon since Harry Potter. What do you think?
