So as posted previously, last Friday (the 15th of August) I purchased and began reading Twilight. Intrigued by all that I had heard it was time to see what all the hype was over. I didn't/couldn't put it down and by 4:00pm on Saturday the 16th I had finished it and was on my way to Target to pick up book #2. While I was perusing through the book isle I noticed the final 2 books in the series and thought to myself "why not?". So I picked up the 3 books remaining books. I am sure people thought I was nuts to what do I care?
So when I returned home I locked my self in my room and continued my story with Bella and Edward. I was emotional invested in these two now and needed to know how their story would turn out. I stopped briefly to watch Michael and the other 3 Americans win the gold and then it was back to my/our world. By early Sunday evening (the 17th of August) I had completed the 2nd book and was "thirsty" for more. So I continued on my quest with my new friends.
I have only just begun book 3. Getting back to the "real world" was difficult this morning. I would be perfectly content to stay in bed and finish the story of my new friends. It is not likely that I will go through the next 2 with the swiftness of the 2 before. However I do have a goal to finish them by the end of the weekend. 
Have you been biten by the phenomenon that is "Twilight"? (once I finish the Breaking Dawn I will give my opinion of each book...in case you care!!)
So we were in Irvine California last weekend for a soccer tournament. We went early so we could hang out at the beach. While we were there one of the players on the Ballistic '92 girls team was reading a book. When I asked about it I was informed that it was the 4th in a series by Stephenie Meyer.
Later in the weekend I saw several mothers of the players who had one of the books in the series as well. I asked about the books again and was intrigued.
So I gave into my curiosity yesterday and went to Target and purchased the first in the series...Twilight. As I was in the check out line a woman said to me, "you won't be able to put it down". I told her that I hated to read and the last series I read was "Harry Potter". She went on, "if you liked those books you will enjoy these as well", she also told my children that they probably wouldn't see me for a while. She was right....when I am into a book I stick with it until its done!! Sorry kids!
So last night while at sitting at soccer practice I began to read. I have not put it down. (Well, I did to watch Michael Phelps with an unbelievable 7th gold medal win....that is another blog in itself!!)
I hate reading it is not one of my top 10 things to do....but this is captivating. Go get it if you haven't!! You won't be sorry!!
