Vampire Love Story

Last week one of my students was reading a book. I asked her what she was reading and she told me it was the 3rd book of the Twilight series. I had heard some good things about this series, but hadn't ever seen them. I asked her if I could borrow the first book from her so that I could see what all the fuss was about. She brought it for me on Tuesday. I had too much to do, so I didn't really start reading it until Thursday. 

I finished it on Saturday morning. I knew that I wasn't going to be able to wait until I saw Mikayla again to borrow the rest, so I decided that I had to buy the rest of them. What other choice did I have? =) I love getting sucked into books. Poor Brett, at that moment, our weekend was not going to be anything fun for him...

So we made a trip to Borders books where I was able to buy all of the books. They were on sale, buy two, get one free. That saved us a little money.



I started this book about 3ish on Saturday and didn't put it down until I was done about 2 in the morning. It was SOOOOO good. I really wanted to start the next one, but I had to sleep sometime.

After church, I picked up the third book.

and read all day until I finished that one as well. I went to bed pretty late, probably early! and was pretty tired the next day for work.

I couldn't stop myself from reading this book

during my planning period and during my lunch. I finished that evening. 

I really enjoyed the series. It was an easy read and enjoyable. You didn't really have to think, you could just get caught up in the story. 

I know that some people really liked Jacob, but I think Edward was the right one. Jacob seemed like too much of a brother to me and not really the romantic type. What do you guys think?

I thought that the idea of changing yourself so that you could be with the one you love forever was an interesting idea. I think that we as Latter-Day Saints do that when we choose to marry in the temple. We choose to live our lives a certain way so that we can be worthy to be with that person for eternity. Just an interesting parallel. 

I love getting so caught up in books that I can't put them down for anything. I almost miss it now. I might read them again just for the fun of it! =) 

Hey, any good books I should read next?

Funny note: A good friend of my husband and I was convinced by his mother to read the series. She sold him on the vampire mythical stuff, but didn't mention the harlequin romance thing. He was sucked in by the time he really realized what he was reading. HeHe. At least now I will have someone to see the movie with and maybe Brett will come because Ryan will be there. =)
