Then I saw a preview of the movie later at my house. I was intrigued. I reserved a copy of the first book at the library. Just a few days after that I started reading it. I finished it in ONE DAY!!! I knew I was in for it then! I wanted to read the next three books right away but the library was all checked out of them! "What do I do?!?!" After a few emails and a few phone calls, I tracked down someone in town that had the books. I started reading the second one that night and two days later, I had finished the entire series. Four books in four days!!! My poor husband! I started the books as soon as we put the kids to sleep and stayed up until I finished it (usually around 3:30am!). He was ignored for those four nights. He was a good sport about it though. He knows me well. He knew that the faster I finished it, the sooner I could turn my attention back to him and our regular life. How pathetic! :)
But I really did love those books! I'm hooked! I even went online to look up when Twilight was going to be released on DVD and found a partial book that Stephenie Meyer started but most likely won't finish. It's the first Twilight book, but from Edward's perspective! It's called Midnight Sun. I read it too! :) You can find it here: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/midnightsun_partialdraft3.pdf . It adds a really interesting twist on the story - knowing what he was thinking. I loved it! I wish she would finish it! Along with re-write the other books but from his perspective too! I know that's just wishful thinking... obsessed, pathetic, adolescent wishful thinking! I guess I'm still just a love-sick teenage girl at heart! Maybe somethings never change.... :)
But here is me in my reading spot. Chris felt inclined to take a picture. He entitled it "a lazy Sunday afternoon".

heehee i was so hooked too. i was so excited when i had to feed the baby, but oops we sat there for hours sometimes nursing. but wow 3:30 am! i couldn't function the next day.
I'm so glad you've finally read it and loved it. I wasn't too impressed with the movie because the first book is my favorite and it didn't do it justice. Oh well.
Wow, I'm so impressed you could read the books so fast! I haven't read them, but I know it would take me much more than a day - I'm a slow reader! But it sounds fun to escape into a good book for a few days strait.
Your puppy is so cute! Ethan REALLY wants a pet, but Steve and I are dragging our feet.
Ha ha ha, welcome to the dark side! I love it! This sounds crazy, but it's even good the second time through, if you have a little break, then start again! Can you say pathetic? I can't believe it's still in the theatres! Hope all is well with you guys, hope we see you sometime soon!! LOL!!
