Now it is over...

"'Don't be afraid,' I murmured. 'We belong together.' I was abruptly overwhelmed by the truth of my own words. This moment was so perfect, so right, there was no way to doubt it. His arms wrapped around me, holding me against him.... It felt like every nerve ending in my body was a live wire.
'Forever,' he agreed."
...so it all started when I became a literature teacher at Wigwam Creek - I watched kids go crazy for the book Twilight (and the rest of them of course). I put them on my shelf and as soon as it hit, someone would check it out again. Always thought that the kids were crazy for wanting to read about Vampires and Werewolves, so I just watched it get checked out the rest of the year without batting an eyelash at it. When school was over for summer break, I grabbed the book and thought, ok, I am going to give this a shot! I am so glad that I did! It was the start of a beautiful friendship between myself, the couch, and the series! No wonder everyone falls head over heals for these characters! I think that Stephenie Meyer does an amazing job hooking you into these believable characters. Don't try to lie to yourself either, you know after reading them you have secretly wanted to be them at one point or another in the books! I fell in love with Edward and despised Jacob and New Moon actually - but once I read Eclipse, I felt for Bella and was captivated by Jacob and his big heart! Breaking Dawn gets right into the action and I felt ended better than I could have imagined and really wasn't anything that I expected! Don't want to give anything away to those of you who are not finished reading the series or who were like me at the beginning and didn't see the use in reading this book. There is a sadness that I have now that it is over, what will I read next? I just can't bring myself to pick up another book yet, how weird. If you have not read these books - GO and GET THEM!

Isn't the obsession rediculous! I totally didn't leave my house for the first few days of break to finish the third and fourth books. Of course I secretly love Edward, who wouldn't want that type of guy in their world!

After Breaking Dawn I felt the same way- so I just read it again :)

I didn't care too much about reading the books at first either. The vampire thing just didn't appeal to me. I am so glad I read them though and became totally obsessed! New Moon was my least favorite as well.

i'm telling ya.. janet evanovich's stephanie plum series. they are laugh out loud, knee slappers! they're a light, fun story and freakin hilarious!

ps - even from the beginning i was secretly pulling for jacob. there's something about a guy who dresses better than me and drives a sports car that is a huge turn off. i'm halfway through breaking dawn, and cant see that happening, but am excited to see where it does go.
