Twilight...

You may have noticed I have a new handy dandy little counter thing over there on the right side ----> I took it from another blog because it counts down to the new Twilight movie. I remember several months ago hearing about these books but not thinking much about it. Then my unofficial stepsister read all of the books during Spring Break. And I mean within about 3 days she read them and we barely saw her. So after that I decided I would read them but wanted to wait until school was out in case I got addicted as well. The end of the year for me is just not a time I can stay up all night reading. Too much going on at work.

SO, I have now read all 4 and loved them. I did not read them as quickly as others. Well each book went by quickly but I spaced the books out a little bit, I guess to make them last a little longer?? Anyway, I then watched the first movie again, and bought it. Now I'm ready for the next movie to come out. Right now would be nice!

I'm not sure what the draw is to these books because (not to sound rude or like an English major, because I definitely am NOT) they aren't some great literary work of art. But something about the story can really pull you in. While I was reading them I just had to know what was coming next and couldn't wait to read about it. Maybe some of it was because they were so different from what I usually read. I'm a huge fan of murder mystery books and LOVE John Grisham and James Patterson books. (By the way they both have new books out right now)

So, I have to wait however long the counter says to see the New Moon movie and I'm hoping it won't disappoint!!!
