Mark sent me the link because he knows I've fallen under the spell of these books too from listening to me tell Missy about them. Like a guilty pleasure you're compelled to read (and reread) them and yet you feel slightly embarrassed at the same time. I am not a fast reader because I read for comprehension and detail. Despite that I plowed through these books quickly. I had the first three read in just over a week. One night I looked up at the clock and realized it was 3:30 am and if I didn't put it down, I wouldn't sleep at all. Out of town company was the only thing that slowed down my progress on Breaking Dawn which I just finish yesterday. Anybody who hasn't read the books won't fully understand. There something about the way Stephanie develops the characters makes them feel real. As a reader you are compelled to to keep reading. It is very difficult to stop until you are finished with all of them and I took keep replaying them in my head. I've even been listening to the playlists the she created for each book. I've been listening to each one as I'm reading that book. I agree about drawing the line on creating sites, wearing clothing and stalking cast members. Can't wait for Nov. 21st. Good chance I will be disappointed, but still excited to see it. Kirsten – I can completely relate to your post.

I LOVED the end of Breaking Dawn. LOVED it. I thought it was perfect, perfect, perfect. For more on why I think that, you'll have to check out the book club blog. But I would be interested in knowing what you thought of Breaking Dawn - particularly the ending. Some didn't like it, which baffles me. Oh and p.s. I LOVED the end of Breaking Dawn. LOVED it.

Oh, welcome to the world of Twilight. I also refused to read them for a long time, and my cousin (other side of the family) called me almost every week to tell me to read them. I finally gave in ... and I am so beyond hooked. I have read all of them countless times. I read Midnight Sun twice and cried (just a little) when I realized it's "oh hold indefinitely" (I am hoping she decides to finish it, in a while, when all the hub-bub has died down). I agree, she doesn't write with a flawless style ... but it's something about her writing that is soooo addicting ... and the characters are soooo real. I cried when Edward left in New Moon (then cried again when he came back). I cried at the end of Breaking Dawn - the stories totally suck you right in. I know exactly how you feel. People that haven't read the books because they are "trendy" or whatever are really missing out. Ok, as you can tell, I am Twilight obsessed. You should come check out our book club blog - http://booksrockoursocks.blogspot.com/. Check out anything with the label of "Breaking Dawn" to see what the rest of us thought about the books. I'm glad there's another fan out there :) HA HA HA. Oh, welcome to the world of Twilight.

I do not like how it ended.... if I knew you were reading it, I would have given you my books. I have The Host and I've been avoiding it since I'm mad at that series. Yeah you are a freak too.
