Twilight

You may be wondering why I haven't written anything in the last few days. I'm usually pretty consistent about my blogging. However, something else has captured my attention over the last five days. Twilight.

I mentioned the books in my last post, but perhaps I didn't do my obsession justice. The Twilight Saga is a collection of four novels, written by Stephanie Meyer. In essence, they are the new Harry Potter. The main plotline revolves around a teenage girl named Bella who moves to Forks, Washington and falls in love with a "vegetarian" vampire named Edward. My weak attempt at explaining the books won't do it justice, so I'm not going to venture down that path. Instead, I just wanted to make fun of myself a little bit, and then talk about how freaking good the movie looks.

First things first, confession time. I started reading the first page of the first book on Saturday afternoon. I devoured that novel, all 500 pages of it, in less than 24 hours. Between Sunday afternoon and today at lunch, I read the other three books in the series. Which means I read over 2,000 pages in the last five days. You may be wondering if I remembered to eat and sleep, and the answer is yes, but I didn't do much besides that. Sometimes it's hard to explain my passion for reading. I love books. And I love a good book that sucks you in.... I haven't felt this way about a book series since Harry Potter. I didn't want to put it down, at all. *sigh*. It's always disappointing when a good book ends, but it was a satisfying ride. Really satisfying. However, it's always relieving when I finish books such as these, my head clears and I remember that I have a life and responsibilities and the real world to live in. I remember that I have work to do and people to talk to. I hate saying goodbye to the characters I fall in love with, but I'm sure Jon will be happy to have his wife back :)

Now, on to the good part! The Twilight MOVIE is coming out in November. It looks awesome and I can't wait to see it.
