While on vacation

I hastily picked up a book from my office for my "beach read" and grabbed this:

I had purchased it back when the whole Twilight craze started and felt that I should read it cause you know everyone else was. I never did read it, I think it was because I had gone to the mall during the holidays and there were a bunch of teens at Hot Topic debating if there were team Edward or team Jacob and even though I had no idea what they were talking about I automatically decided that I was too old for this whole Twilight thing.

Last week laying on the beach I cracked open the book and it was surprisingly enthralled and drawn in by the love story. It only took me two days to read the book and then I convinced Brett that I needed to go and purchase the next three right away even though we were in Maui. We found a Borders and I bought New Moon and Eclipse. I started New Moon on the plane and stayed up way too late last night to finish it. I am 100% addicted. I will definitely be starting Eclipse tonight, I have too many questions that need answered.

If the books weren't enough the movies....wow. I rented Twilight tonight and loved it, I could easily see myself watching it over and over again. So Friday like the rest of the ladies I will be watching New Moon.

I am so excited and I can't believe how much I am into the whole Twilight Saga, but don't expect me to be putting up movie posters in my bedroom or choosing between Team Edward or Team Jacob. I have to keep some sensibility about myself (seriously they are jail bait!)

Oh yes, you are expecting vacation photos. I promise by the end of this week, we are still recouping.

Yay! You jumped on the bandwagon just in time! I'd never heard of it until my friend told me to read it and was totally hooked. I also had to run to the bookstore and keep buying them. Can't wait to hear what you think of the movie this weekend!

I've had Twilight on my shelf for about nine months now. I have every intention of reading it, I just seem to be waiting for a vacation or some other chunk of time where I'll have more time set aside for reading.

It's funny that you bought the other books while on vaca! My aunt did the exact same thing while on a business trip! Just about every woman I know has read and loved these books! I need to join the club soon :)
