Twilight Addiction

It's all my sister's fault.  I'm blaming her.  She told me about the Twilight book series. 

I said, "A girl falls in love with a cute vampire and he has to be careful not to attack her?  I don't know about that".  Yet, everywhere I looked, people were talking on and on about this book!  My favorite art blogs, moms in car line, email friends . . . everyone, it seemed, was reading Twilight.  My sister kept telling me it was so good, that I HAD to read it.  She read all four books in a month - these are big, 2-3" thick books!  So she mailed them to me to borrow.  My interest was peeked.  If nothing else, I was curious about what all the hype was over.  Vampires, sheesh!

So I opened the box and started reading Twilight. 

The story started off fairly interesting, making me want to learn more about this peculiar situation.  Then, about 100 pages in . . . I was hooked.  It sucked me in, like a black hole.  I couldn't stop reading. 

I've heard people talk about such a thing, but see, I'm not a reader.  I don't do novels.  I prefer the magazine, the idea book, the self-improvement reference type of book.  My sister has always read.  I remember in high school, she'd stay up late reading novels by Stephen King, Danielle Steel, and many others I don't remember.  I just was never like that.  So it was odd for me to find it so hard to put the book down.

I finished the 498 pages in 5 days.  It was wonderful. 

Addicting.

Obsessive.

Ridiculous.

Wonderful.

I've spend the last 5 days reading the second book, New Moon .  I stayed up until 12:30 AM last night to finish it.  Another 563 pages in 5 days.

Addicting.

Obsessive.

Ridiculous.

Wonderful.

Do I dare start the third book?  Yes, I have to.  So that's why I'm not blogging much, or doing art much, or taking care of my house or errands much.  My nose is in a book, reading about Edward and Bella and their many adventures.  It's the vampire version of Romeo and Juliet.  I know, strange, but it's wonderful. 

The story of how these books came about is fascinating - a great story.  Read it HERE.  I could read this story 20 times and still be impressed.

The movie is out in theatres tonight.  View a clip here.

Now go.  Support my addiction and read them yourself . . . if you haven't already.

I've been considering these for Jalynn, I wonder if she's too young?
