Such a Sucker!!


Just until about a couple of weeks ago, if you would've asked me what the Twilight Series was, I probably would've guessed it was some Star Wars book series. As I browsed around on other people's blogs I noticed several were ranting and raving about the book "Breaking Dawn" I had no clue what the heck it was about. After the 4th time seeing it on someone's page, I decided I'd look it up on Google. I thought the plot sounded lame...a girl falling in love with a Vampire? Not my cup of tea...but I had to admit I was a bit curious. As I walked through Target with Kimmy like I frequently do I came across the entire series staring right at me. I turned to Kimmy and shamefully admitted I was interested in these books but couldn't bring myself to buy a book about Vampires. She chuckled and admitted she was just as curious...don't you know that curiousity killed the cat? We gave in..and bought Twilight, the first book of the series. Kimmy read it first. I was hoping she wouldn't like it, then I wouldn't have to read these rediculously long books, but I was wrong, she fed my curiousity...ranting and raving about how good it was, just like the blogs I had read a few weeks ago. I started the book two days ago, and finished it today. I was instantly hooked, so much so that all I could think about was getting the next book. We both ran out to Target to buy "New Moon" the second book..and what do we find??? TWO...EXACTLY TWO New Moon books remaining..it was meant to be, at least that's what we told ourselves. I dove right into the book when I got home today. I can't wait to finish this one, move onto the next two and see the movie once it comes out in November. You can guarantee I'll be there opening day!!!

I thought the same thing! All my girls in Young Women's were reading them and I thought that there was no way I would like a book that all these high schoolers were reading... but I LOVE them! I just finished Breaking Dawn and I can't wait for the movie to come out!!

As much as I hate bandwagons...these are totally worth reading. They're just a refreshing and fun escape from everyday drudgery. How fun you found them too!! :)
