I am not much of a reader. When I do get reading a good book, It's alright. Not my favorite past time by any means. I hadn't read anything since 2002, the year I graduated! 6 years ago! I would rather do so many things besides sit and read. That said........ My mother in law, Bonnie, was the first to tell me about this crazy vampire book. She would go on about some beautiful vampire, Edward. It made me laugh at how funny she can be sometimes. She told me I had to read it. I didn't really put much thought into it from there. A few months ago, we went to St. George to buy a car. We stayed with my in laws. Ron was reading twilight by the pool one morning! He said he just had to see what this Bonnie talk was all about. I thought hmmmm. Interesting. So after that I heard from quite a few different people about this amazing series. Still, not much thought from me. Tuesday of this week, my visiting teacher came over. She has been telling me I have got to read this series, along with the others. This time, she just brought it over for me to read. I thanked her, and told her I would read it. That night, Clint was watching some play off game, so I decided I would do as I said and start reading. I read 2 chapters, and decided I was pretty tired and headed to bed. It seemed like it was an alright book. I didn't read any more on Wednesday. Clint and I had a busy day, and there was no time to read. I was too tired by the time I went to bed at 10 to even think about reading. Thursday after work, I started reading again. I didn't realize the time, but around 10:00 I realized I was almost halfway through! It's over 500 pages! This was not normal for me. It used to take me ages to finish a book, back when I used to read them. I kept reading until midnight!!!! I was going to bring the book with me to work Friday, hoping it would be slow so I could keep reading. I forgot to bring it, and couldn't wait to start when I got home. I read again last night until midnight! I could barely keep my eyes open, and decided I better sleep. I woke up this morning at 8:30 thinking about the book. I can sleep in. I usually always sleep in on the weekends. I am talking like 11-12ish! Why was I up at 8:30??? Not important, I figured I am up I might as well read. So I finished the book this morning. The whole book in 4 sittings?? What is wrong with me! It is sooooo good! Everyone has to read this book! It's all I can do not to call my visiting teacher right now and return this book so I can get the next one and start right now! What has come over me?

I have heard the same thing at how great that book is, my mom was telling me about them and how everyone loved this series, she works at the county library, anyways, she wanted to get them for me, but I just don't have time to read at this moment. She is always bringing home books and trying to have us read them. I am not much of a reader unless they are really good books!!!
i have heard these are really good but didn't think much of it. i'll have to give them a whirl!
It's about time! I am a lot like you when it comes to reading. Twilight was the first book I had picked up in a long time. I think I read it in 2 days! Now you can move on to New Moon and Eclipse. I am counting down the days until the movie and 4th book are out.
Ha ha. You got sucked into the club as well. It happens. :) Move on to the other two books. The third is the best, I think. Come borrow my copy!
im at pg 366!! ps i didnt know there was a 4th book coming out! you forgot that SMALL detail! hope you're feel great!!
