And I did see the (twi)light.
If you have not read them, you may not want to read on. I tried to be careful not to reveal anything, but I don't like to know anything about a story so I thought I warn you that I do say a wee little bit.
At first, I didn't get the whole Edward thing. I couldn't be with a man, however immortal, that was cold all the time. I like heat to emanate from my man, at least in the winter. I think I'd much prefer a werewolf from that standpoint. But now that I've read all of them, I can understand a bit better. Strength and tenderness. Great combination.
I was bugged by Edward and Bella's relationship until the final book "Breaking Dawn". I mean they were just so young. I'm a mom, young love doesn't look real cute from this vantage point. A lot of the time, Bella seemed pretty pathetic and dysfunctional while Edward was a bit controlling. Before you get too mad at me, know that their relationship grew on me. It helped that they were married. And that I had spent so many late nights with them. By the last book I was feeling like I knew them. I was wishing the Cullen's would be coming over for dinner. Sorry, Ruby...I'm afraid the Golden Retriever would have to be the main course. (Can I really publish that? I'm going to, but please know it was totally a joke. I do love my dog.)
So no more late night reading. My husband will be relieved. One night while reading an especially intense part, I woke him up twice to see what the noises were I was hearing downstairs. After he came up the second time he said "There was nothing. Just the vampire sitting at the kitchen table."
Don't I wish. I really am going to miss all my vampire friends.

I have read the books too...loved them a little too much! I am one of you.
Oh, I feel so honored that I am mentioned in your blog. Glad you enjoyed the series as much as I did.
BTW...the DVD is going to be out on March 21st. I am going to snag a copy for sure. It will be a Twilight Marathon weekend at my house!! LOL
Read them. Loved them. Longing for more.
Isn't it so sad when you know you're at the end of the 4th book and you just want it to go on and on. It's so addictive.
I'm going to do the wise thing---the thing that an overcommitted, always stressed college student/employee should do, and not even START reading this series. Ever.
But I do love that your husband mocked you a teensy bit with the "noises" in the kitchen. So cute!
You can borrow my "Edward Bite Me" shirt anytime, babe.
question: I just found out that my 12 year old sister is reading this series--- from a mother's perspective, are these books healthy for a 12 year old girl? :)
I don't really have time to read them, and unfortunately my parents aren't always the best at keeping track of what is getting into her mind through books (they're much stricter with movies...)
what do you think?
oh. i miss my vampire friends, too.
thankfully the dvd is arriving at my house via netflix tomorrow. ;) haven't seen it yet, but i can't wait! :)
although, i have to say...the last book was my LEAST fav... so...what does that say about me? hmmm...
