    Default I admit i am a closet twilight freak!!!!!

    Ok, I watched the first movie over Easter break and was intrigued enough to read the book......................dang Stephanie Meyer!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was on a cruise, waiting in lines and was mesmorized by Book 1!
    So much so that even though, I had book 2 sitting at home waiting for me, I PAID FULL PRICE FOR BOOK 2 AT THE AIRPORT just to pass the 5 hours until I would be home.
    Keep in mind, I am someone that would make dh wait a week for MEAT if it is NOT on sale, and I paid AIRPORT prices for a BOOK!!!!!!!!!

    I cannot say this is the greatest book ever written, but it was definitely one that kept me WANTING to read it!
    I don't get much time to read between working a full time away from home job, blogging, and being a mommy, but without GETTING PAID, I have to say, I LOVE this series.

    Ok, I will admit, I love the story of Romeo and Juliet! Iambic pentameter SUCKS btw! I KNOW Twilight is R&J, BUT w/o this annoying IP!(sorry math major here)
    So anyway, easy read for most, GREAT story for those that like a love story!
    And that is all I have to say about that!

    I was the same way!! Hubby and I watched the movie and were surprised it was so good. We had to go out of town suddenly because of a sick family member, and I finished my current book halfway through the eight hour ride. So, once we got to our destination, I bought Twilight (this was Wednesday). I was immediately hooked and took it EVERYWHERE. I finished it Friday night and went out and bought New Moon. I finished that on the car ride home on Saturday and bought Eclipse and Breaking Dawn once we got home. I had to work the next week, but managed to finish them both by Saturday. When I closed the cover after finishing the last book, it was like waking up from a dream. I was like "what just happened?" I have a hard time explaining it. I have read much better books, but there was just something about this series that was captivating to me.

    I've reread the series more times that I can count, except for Breaking Dawn. I've read it 4 times. Its not that I don't like it, its just soooo drawn out and totally not what I expected!
    I can't wait for the New Moon movie. Everything I've seen so far, looks really good. Even Jake's transformation.

    I love Twilight too. My stepdaughter read all the books and I thought it wasn't something I'd get into. Then I saw the movie and was curious. My sister gave me the books and I'm reading Eclipse now. Love them!

    Me likey your avatar!!! I'm too attached to my fleur de lis to change it, so I put one of my profile page. I'm looking for a new one though.

    My sister bought the 1st 3 books. She gave me Twilight to read while she was reading New Moon. It took all of 1 day to read Twilight and I was bugging her...are you finished yet...are you finished yet. At the time, Eclipse had just come out, so I had to wait til she bought it (which wasn't until almost December), so I kept rereading the first two til she was finished. When Breaking Dawn came out, I preordered it and made her wait! I read it twice, because the 1st time I flew threw it that I couldn't belive what I just read, so I took my time on the second read.

    This is the only series where I can pick any book up, open it to any page and start reading. We have the Harry Potter series and I'm struggling to get through Half Blood Prince! I wanted to brush up before I see the movie!

    I wish I could agree with you all about the movie... sadly I wasnt impressed with it. I mean I liked it well enough but it just left me feeling like it was quite good enough or something.. I havent read the books and I likely wont but I was let down by the movie after I saw all the hype on it. :shrug7:

    To me, the movie doesn't really do the book justice
