It's true, I've been bitten by the vampire craze (a little late I do admit). I know several people who are *obsessed* with the Twilight series and had my prejudgements about that. I was skeptical. Not skeptical because a story about "vegetarian" vampires seems so far fetched and really actually silly when you think about it. I was mostly cautious because as a Christian, I do not like to let any sort of evil, darkness, sacrilegious, or otherwise give me nightmares type of thing enter into my thoughts at all. I did give it a try though, after much assurance from my friends and now I'm sucked in. How else could I read 434+563+628=1,625 pages (the first three books) in less than a month? I'm not much of a reader. The books do have their major flaws (in my opinion) and I would not consider myself a die hard fan like most of its readers but I am searching frantically for a copy of Breaking Dawn at this very moment. That should tell you something. Some of you out there do deserve an "I told you so." So have your moment. 754 pages to find out the end of the story. I can't wait.

Welcome to the Twilight universe, my little friend. Although you're a late bloomer, we welcome you with open arms. I'll get Breaking Dawn to you this week!
Your friend,
Holly Cullen
PS...I read all 4 books in less than 7 days, I'm not sure how my children survived...
mmmm. interesting. i am like you. not so much for the nightmare part (though I dont watch scary movies because of that) but because i think it's so weird and unrealistic -which-i am a complete realist. anyhow. maybe i should try it out. i did watch the movie and thought it was soooo poorly done, which many of the 'crazed' has attested too. but still. seems like such a dumb thing to fall in love with a vampire. :) but maybe i should just read them.
Oh dear, another one becomes bitten..... I have stayed far away though I am sure I would get sucked in if I allowed myself. Enjoy your guilty pleasure!
Better late than never! So glad you can finally see where I'm coming from! I fought hard for my Edward, and it seems to have paid off!
PS. I will see if I have my copy of B.D. and will bring it tomorrow if I do.
YES! I was totally into those books! WHen I read the first three, I would stay up so late just turning pages until Bart told me to go to bed. The last one took me a little longer- maybe b/c I read it so much later than the first three. Are you going to be Bella for Halloween? Maybe Casey could dress up as Edward or Jacob.
-This is Krista, by the way.
You leave all these great posts about are kids and how cute they are and this is the post that gets the most action of any?????? You women are crazy!
I have thought all the same things as you Andrea and I have not succumbed yet. I thought about it with my trip coming up, but I'm continuing to resist. I'll stay with Nicholas Sparks. Enjoy! :-)
bitten by the bug!
