If you've noticed my bookshelf there to the right you've noticed that I'm reading Twilight. I thought I was the last person on Earth to read this book but apparently my sister, Lacy, is even farther behind the times than me. Actually, I've known about this book for around a year now but haven't had the time to read it. First, my library didn't have it over the summer when I did the bulk of my reading. Then, K bought it for me but I was knee-deep in reading and projects for school so I had no time to read -- anything. Well, school's out for now and I've got some time so I started reading Thursday...
CAUTION: Here comes the don't freak out part!!!
I...
I, uh, well, see the thing is, um
I don't really like it.
There, I said it.
Now, before you start cursing the screen and heatedly beating out a comment on your keyboard, just slow ya roll. I didn't say I hated it (although, I did hate Ms. Meyer's other novel the Host). I just said I don't really like it. Maybe my expectations were really high after all the hoopla or something but I'm slightly disappointed. I thought that I'd be sucked into this book by the way everyone drools and palpatates over it. Don't blame yourself, EVERYONE told me it was great, fabulous, terrific. Anyway, I'm just over half-way through so maybe by the time I finish I'll change my mind.
Oh well, I guess I can relate to Bella, afterall, because I know she would never like a book just because everyone said she should! Am I right Twilight fanboys and fangirls? You know I am, ;)

I don't like them as much as everyone else does, but I do like the original ideas she brought to vampires. Other than that I'm not a big fan. So don't feel bad. I just am not into all the drama of it. Harry Potter is still my all time favorite!!!
The pure rebel in me keeps me from ever even picking up that book. If I had just happened across it in the book store without anyone saying anything about it, I might have read it. However, given that my bookshelf is covered in books (that then spill into the floor) and I will never have time to read anything other than "Where's Baby's Belly Button" again for the rest of my life in about 4 weeks, I may not have picked it up after all.
But I, for one, will not be hurling any types of objects at you :-D
Don't worry, I don't like it either. I couldn't make it through the first chapter. I liked the movie, but I didn't feel like reading it. You should have told me you needed a copy. Joe's mother read the first book while we were in Thailand and was going to leave it behind so I took it. Oh well, I guess I'll read it one day!! I have to finish my Volume 2 of the Complete Sherlock Holmes Novels and Stories!! Love you and see you Tuesday night!!!
