Those of you that know me very well at all know that I am NOT at ALL a reader. I think the last book I read was in high school and the last one I read for pleasure was an attempt at a Harry Potter book a year or so ago..of which I only got about 20 pages into after a month and gave up. I really do love Harry Potter too so that just proves more that I just hate reading. Well anyway, I had been hearing of this book called "Twilight" from a few members in our ward I think that's the only place I had heard of it mainly because the writer Stephanie Meyer is a member too. Well, anyway, I was at my sister-in-law's for a mother's day get together when Kathy was reading the second book in the series of Twilight books (4 total). She said I could borrow the first one and I was like OK, I will try to read it (John meanwhile was making a "ha, yeah right" sound under his breath smiling). So, she brought it over Tuesday of this week (that night) and I began to read a few pages and found myself so engrossed in the book I think I was at page 20 within like 15 minutes and then we went to bed. Well, I have finished the 497 page book this morning (it's Friday). What can I say.. the book was AWESOME! I stayed up every night late reading and every free moment reading. I loved it and now I know why it was a New York Times best seller and such a hit among women in our ward. I cannot wait until Kathy brings by the second book tomorrow! :) Anyway, there is also a movie coming out in December based off of the first book I just read and I am thrilled.. I cannot wait until it comes out I was telling my mom it comes out like a week or so after I am due with baby #3 and I will be there at the midnight showing with Kathy or someone else willing to go.
Here are a few links for the trailer for the movie and also to Stephanie Meyer's website.
