Lost in the Twilight Zone

Er...or rather the Twilight saga....this post explains why I've been MIA for so long. Between Stephanie Plum and Twilight I've kinda been spending all summer reading.


Oh my gosh, if someone had told me that I would be so wrapped up in these young adult fiction vampire stories I would've told them they had my reading personality all WRONG! Yet before I really knew the books were young adult fiction and before I knew the stories included vampires I kept seeing the book covers all over the place. The dark black book covers with the stark red picture ...somehow I was drawn to the books. Yes, I'm super prone to judging books by their covers. Also my blogging buddy Alison suggested I read them. So what the heck I gave it a try.

The first book Twilight, I borrowed from my boss' daughter. That was on a Thursday, by Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. I had searched the nearby Target and they were completely sold out. I went to the Barnes and Noble and they had a whole table dedicated to the Twilight saga! Yippee! I had New Moon and Eclipse in my hot little hands ready to fork over my hard cash as long as I could run for the door to continue reading! When I wasn't reading, Bella, Edward, Jacob, Charlie, Alice, Jasper, Sam and Emmett were racing through my dreams at night. This is crazy!

So I'm done with the third book and I've already been again to the nearby Target that is SOLD OUT of BREAKING DAWN! THE HORROR!!!!! Urrrrgh! Target needs new inventory control clerks! So, I opted for Stephenie Meyer's THE HOST. I've read through the first chapter and it hasn't grasped my attention yet. How could it? I still have the Twilight gang on my mind.

So looks like another late night trek across the city to B&N....I just gotta get it...Breaking Dawn I expect will be in my hands in the next hour or so. I'm not saying that Stephenie Meyer's is an awesome writer or that she's not I'm just saying these books really pulled me in and kept me entertained. This is the last in the series I heard...I don't know what I'll do when I finish the series.

Any suggestions?

Its gonna be soooo funny when I'm sitting in a theater on Nov. 21st to see Twilight the movie with no young teens of my own. Hmmm...maybe I can borrow my boss' kids. LOL
