I want to be a vampire.
I've put off reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga for a while now. I hear "it's about vampires," and more or less just kind of give it the brush off. However, the 11th graders I teach have become comletely captivated by these books, and at the suggestion of a very reliable media center specialist, I decided I'd at least borrow the first one from our school's library. I checked it out like three weeks ago and until Saturday, I still hadn't picked it up. (Don't worry, Bookishly Fabulous, teachers at my school can keep books as long as we want, so I haven't incurred any late fees!)
Yesterday, I was bored, and my husband was watching the Clemson game, so I picked it up to at least attempt it. I was propelled through all 498 pages within in a few hours. I had finished the book by 6PM and was headed to the book store to buy the second one, New Moon. I'm halfway through it now, and I can easily see why my kids love these books. They are so intriguing. They really make me want to be a vampire...just a little bit though. And I'd have to be one of the Cullens if I were a vampire, but all the same, they're great.
Have any of you guys read them? If so, what did you think?

I know you know this already, but the level of obsession I have for the saga is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS! I breezed through them all within a few days and now I am in withdrawals.
However, I wanted to ask you what you thought of the last book? I want to rewrite it. I just wasn't satisfied...at all.
I'm in Florence now...will be until Wednesday. We need to have coffee and discuss this, among other things.
I love you, Amy Skinner. Like tons and stuff.
Natalie,
The fourth book was my least liked of any in the series. I hate the way her change changes their relationship. We do need to discuss.
Are you free on Wednesday at all? I wasn't sure since that's the day you're heading back. My anniversary is on Monday (can you believe it), and I have quite a bit of stuff going on Tuesday. If you can't do Wednesday, I'll rearrange some junk on Tuesday.
I love you more than you know. You are my girl-crush through and through. :)
