I read 4 books in a week in a half! My days of reading just non-fiction are over!...Thanks to Stephenie Meyer and her "
Twilight Saga." I have never felt this way about a book or books before. To be honest, I probably have only read one or two fiction books in the last 20 years from cover to cover. It's an ADD thing, ya know. All I can say is that I am thankful my friends persuaded me into reading
Twilight. I bought it on August 1st and finished it on August 5
th (498 pages!). I was hooked! The next day I bought the other 3 books (just as many pages or more) and spent all my spare time reading. My kids were shocked to see their mom reading a book besides the scriptures...especially a fiction book. They could not believe how fast I went through them & asked me questions about the book constantly. I was happy to oblige whenever I was not reading since I wanted to think & talk about it all the time. These characters were constantly on my mind.
I have always been a movie girl. Reading has never been a passion of mine, those of you who know me, know this. But I have never thought about a movie or characters in a movie as I have with these books. I am actually considering reading them again because I don't want to leave this make believe world. Yes, that is how great they are!
I can not wait for the movie to come out this fall. It will be released on November 21st! I am hoping that each book will be made into a movie. If the movie is anything like the book, I will totally love it! Thanks Stephenie Meyer for giving me something awesome to read after my kids go to bed!

Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI love your bogging! It helps keep me up to date. I still haven't been able to buy "Twilight" yet, but I looked it up online during lunch yesterday...and I saw that they are making a movie of it. I was soooo excited for you! I see you already know about it though. November 21st? That gives me plenty of time to read AT LEAST that one. I can't believe you've finished all 4!?! That's awesome!! Looks like she has some other series. Have you checked them out? You may need to wait a little bit to get this fictional world behind. Sounds like things are going well for you & the family. My love to all!
Carrie
