And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume."
~Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI
I never thought I'd do it. To be honest, I tried my best to avoid jumping on the bandwagon. However, here I am, totally engrossed in a series of books about vampires. If only I could spend a few days in Bella's world.
Right before Christmas vacation, I was approached by a few former students who wondered weather or not I read the "Twilight" series of books. I immediately went into my speech about how I don't enjoy vampires and how i prefer real-life, believable stories. After much explaining, coaxing, and promising that the stories were not jam packed with fangs, blood, and full moons, I decided that I'd give the first book a try. I was quick to say that I'd try the book, and that if I didn't like it, I wouldn't finish it.
It's official, I'm totally and utterly infatuated with Bella and Edward and the town of Forks. I finished "Twilight" in two short days, and am currently lost in "New Moon."
What adventures will the Cullen clan take me on this afternoon? ...mmm.... I'm making some tea and settling in.

Yes! My sister read the novels for the same reason..she is a Youth Minister and for Christmas she wanted me to read it and go to the movie.
I finally got time to finish it and while I don't enjoy love stories, I did enjoy the suspense in the second half of the novel. Borders is sold out of number 2 but I plan on getting it soon!
Enjoy New Moon
