Books

I am not usually one to read books more than once. It is very common for me, to read a book and think it is amazing. Later I will start to read it again, and over the course of trying to, I restart it over and over again, and never am able to finish it. No matter how much I love Harry Potter, I have struggled with trying to read all the books again. I have read the 6th one twice, but only because I read it all really quickly in 2 days.

When I read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (see previous post). I loved it! I was addicted to the book before the first chapter began. The preface, half a page of something later int he book, hooked me in about 1 minute. I immediately wanted to read the rest of the book...And so I did. When I finished that Thursday night (just over a week ago) I didn't have books 2 and 3. On Friday morning, I went out and bought book 2 and borrowed book 3...Trying to be thrifty and not spend TOO much money on books right now. I sat down and read book 2...When I finished book 2 later that day, i immediately started book 3...I finished it on Saturday afternoon. I loved them. I was addicted. I immediately sat down and started reading stuff on her website about the books. Then I found other sites that have stuff about her books. I started looking at videos that people had put together for the books. I started figuring out which actors i had pictured the characters as in my head. I was completely and utterly addicted and obsessed. Well, it wasn't enough for me. I hate the fact that I have to wait another year for the 4th book to come out. Monday (labor day) I decided that I hadn't gotten enough of Edward and Bella over the weekend and so I picked up Twilight...again and read it. On Tuesday i started New Moon, again. When I finished it on Wednesday, I felt releived. Surely I could take these books a little bit slower. I had returned book 3, Eclipse, to its right ful owner, and mine hadn't arrived in the mail yet! I was so addicted that over the weekend, I decided that I had to have my very own copy of Eclipse. I went out after finishing New Moon to check the mail. I wasn't expecting the book for another day or two...when i opened my front door...there is was on my doorstep! WooHoo! So after I got the girls down to bed, and Justin had settled into his studying for the night...I picked up Eclipse...and on Thursday...I finished it...again. So this time it took me 4 days instead of 3...but it was still not enough. As soon as I finished it, I wanted more. I wanted to pick up Twilight and read it all over again. I am insane! I know!

But to be good, I shelved the books...I put them away on the shelf, there to stay for at least a little while. Instead, I decided that I would get my fix some other way. I started researching Forks Washington. First Beach. Volterra. I researched everything I could think of about this book. I found where I think the Cullen house would be in Forks. I mapped it out on Google and found it. I found where I think their meadow is. I found Charlie's house and the ball field and the field 9 miles north where parts of Eclipse took place. I mapped it all out. Am i insane, YES! I do not doubt that. I am totally, completely, utterly obsessed with this book. I think that it is my new favorite series. I loved Harry Potter. I really did. I still do, I think it is an amazing series and Rowling amazes me. But something about Twilight makes it totally trump Harry in a way that even 2 weeks ago, I didn't think possible. I don't know what it is about Edward and Bella that make me want so much more out of these books. I don't want stephenie to stop at 4 books...I want her to keep going. I want the movie out now! I want someone to write a TV series with this...I want a weekly fix of this book that will keep me going...Surely there is more that can be added in to the story to make a whole series of...They have done it with Superman and Smallville, why not Bella and Twilight! I am sure that there will be a great conclusion to this book with book 4, but I want more...I want the whole series from Edwards perspective...Not just the first one. I just want more. I know, I am insane! And I have to wait a whole year to get more of them.

Yeah like i said...I can't read books more than once...

We see how far that got me with this series!
