Twilight

So, some of you may have already read the Twighlight series by Stephenie Meyer. I just ~~finished~~ inhaled the first book and went out and bought the second (I held myself back for the third).

I don’t really care for vampire stories. My great friend

ressacjane

had been hammering on me that I should read this book (she tends to recommend me good books). She lent it to me and so I kept forgetting about it until I picked it up on Monday and finished it last night at 1 am in bed with my sleeping husband next to me and the lightwedge letting me read. It was so good!

It is such a guilty pleasure though. A freakin’ TEENAGE VAMPIRE LOVE STORY? Like I told her, “shoot me now, please!!”. There are definitely a lot of moments that made me feel like it was so predictably “young adult”, but I can live with that (Harry Potter, anyone?). But seriously, a teenage vampire love story? How embarrassing. And I freakin’ loved it.

And the entire time I read it, all I could see in my mind was Robert Pattinson in Edward Cullen’s shoes (he is playing him in the movie) – and let me tell you, SO HOT. I am really scared though, for the movie. It has all the makings of an awful awful teen flick.

I am off to read some of New Moon now. Thank goodness I get paid tonight so I can justify to myself buying the last one next week!

  Mag! I got the books for my birthday in Feb, and OMG I loved them. Just wait til you get to the third book. I sobbed like a baby. Heh. Who knew a sexless relationship between a human teen and a vampire could be so HOT?? Lol. I’m just a tad obsessed now, I can’t wait til August when the 4th book comes out.

  I love that book (see my header). I bought the first then kicked myself for not buying the second with it.

Thank you for posting this. I also just went out and bought Twilight. I loved it. I felt a little silly buying it, but ah well, I snuck it in with my kids books. *sneaky* I am going to go out and get the next one soon, but I have to find time to get to the mall first. And now I just have to avoid Spoilers. oops, never mind, too late. Dammit.

    No, I know you didn’t have any spoilers. I just meant that this is becoming so popular now that I have seen a couple of minor ones. I’ll live, though. Can’t avoid them forever. Guess I’ll just have to get the book sooner rather than later.

    Can you say Mail Order? I know I can, cause there’s no way I’m going to go buy the fourth in person at the store. I’d rather wait a bit. Don’t expect to see me on the net from Aug. 2 to Aug. 13th (should have it read by then).

A teenage vampire love story? Oh please tell me you’re joking. Please? 😛

Hmmm…well, I watched Peter Pan this afternoon, so maybe I shouldn’t be throwing any large, heavy, stone-like items. ya think?

    LOL!! You showered in Glitter????? Now I know why I have the sudden urge to splash out on two whole social occasions! You’ve just changed the whole genetic make of of the planet with that one shower. All hell’s going to brake loose now, you mark my works.
    
    Quick! Do something anti-glittery, maybe you can stop it!
    
    *runs*
    
    (It’s late, I’ve been knitting complicated socks, my brain is a little fried.)

Definitely guilty-pleasure stuff… such a fluffy, teeny-bopper novel, but well enough written and enough of a novelty that you can’t really put it down. Hate the predictability of it, though.
