Book Nerd

Well--I am officially a book nerd! I have really gotten into reading over the past few months! But my latest obsession--The Twilight Series! Heidi had mentioned it eons ago to read these books about vampires and romance! Ugh! I seriously was thinking "Ugh"! I like the suspense novels like John Grisham (I have read most of them) and really any romance novel out there--Oh how I love a happy ending! But vampires and even werewolves? Well--I finally took the bait a few weeks ago and borrowed my sisters books! Wow! It didn't take long and I was hooked! I think I read them faster than ANY book I have ever read before! I don't think there has been a book that I physically could not put down at night but had to FORCE myself to close the cover by 1:30am so I could get some decent sleep in order to function the next day! Even during the day, I would try to 'sneak' in a few minutes here and there, when I could, just to get a few more pages in! Well--on Friday night we were still awake at midnight and Kerby turned to me and said, "We could see if Walmart is 24 hours and go buy the 4th book before anyone else?" What a sweetie! I didn't make him go get it for me--at least until the next morning at 8am! Anyone else get suckered into these books and have you read the last one yet? I am about half way through this one! I better be able to find another book that keeps my attention like these! I haven't even watched any TV in probably 4 weeks now--I read instead!

Andrea bought Lindsay and me a copy of the newest book, but I haven't read it, yet. Hopefully, I steal it away this weekend and get it read. They are almost impossible to put down!

it's been a fun series, nothing will ever be the same though since harry potter. i'm about half way through the fourth book and finding myself really bugged by the direction the story is headed. is it just me or is it turning into a weird sci-fi kind of novel? hopefully it ends well.

I LOOOOVE these books, my sister-in-law got me into them this past May and I'll be reading the 4th on the way to Vegas this Friday--see you then! My brother calls them literature "crack" for women, you just can't get enough of it! By the way are you team Edward or Team Jacob. I plan on making my t-shirt and wearing it to the movie when it premieres Dec 12. See you in a few days!
