You would think I was one of those 13 year old girls who went to see the movie "Titanic" 20 times. I have absolutely fallen in love with the book "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. I started reading Wednesday and I finished yesterday. The funny thing is I have had the book since July. I had purchased the book when Mark and I went to Salt Lake for our anniversary but the subject matter (vampires)kind of freaked me out.( I am easily scared) Usually I don't like the genre at all so I didn't start it until the other day. Wow! I loved it. I am still trying to figure it out exactly. I was utterly fascinated with this book. I keep thinking about it and I even dreamed about it. :P
My questions to you are this:
Have you read it?
Did you love it?
Are New Moon and Eclipse just as good? I am just starting New Moon.
Why is this such a fascinating book?
Are you excited for the movie? I am.
Speaking of the movie I went to the authors website and read about the upcoming movie. I think there has been some controversy about the casting of Bella and Edward. (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson-he of Cedric Diggory fame) I have a hard time picturing these two as the main characters but that's the problem with casting a movie of a beloved book. Everyone will have their own opinions. I would love to read your responses- Randa, I know you've read it. :)

Randa does love them, and everyone I know loves them too. But I haven't read any of them. Glad you liked it.
I freaking Love, Love, Love these stupid books! I pride myself in reading more of the classics, you know smart books..but I got sucked in.
My opinions:
*All of the books were great.
*I am a Jacob fan (but still love Edward).
*I am one of the nasty's that want them to have s*x.
*My fun friend Tracy bought 4 of us girlfriends vampire T-Shirts, and I wear it in public!
*I may or may not have asked J-rod to bite me on the neck on occasion.
*When book #4 come out the same 4 girlfriends are renting a limo, buying the book, going to a hotel/spa and reading it together!
*I am entirely too busy to get this involved with a book!
Randa :)
Randa,
You are too awesome! Can I fly to Austin and come to your party?!
So funny about the nasty's comment- csn't say the thought didn't occur to me. ;)
Lolol about the J-Rod comment. I shouldn't get a picture.
I am so excited to read New Moon. My friend likes Jacob too. I can't wait to see what the fuss is all about him.
Same problem with being busy. I didn't want to get into these cause when I read a book I like I stay up all hours of the night to read it. I'm going to be tired this week.
Thanks for your awesome responses!

Oh yeah Randa. When I saw your Christmas letter that you loved this book it reminded me to read it and see what the fuss was about!
hmmm, it was half on my reading list but I was unsure if I would like it for the same reasons. Thanks for the heads up! ;-)
Ok Kayla,
Be prepared to get even more consumed. I read all three books in 3 days, got them on CD from a friend and listen to them all the time. I am OBSESSED to the point that I also dream about it and being one of "those" people want them to have s*x too. Not much detail, but hey lets seal the deal!!! I have a friend in Utah who is even more obsessed then I she keeps me up on all the gossip about the books. I don't really like the Jacob character because of the way he acts in book 3, but thats my oppinion and I can see him doing something to interfear with Bella and Edward to keep them apart, but thats my oppinion. I to don't think that Cedric would make a good character for Edward, but if you go to the lexicon/ fansight they have the guy off of the Count of Monte Cristo who was the young son and I think he would have made a great Edward, but she says that he is to old, so they are looking toward him being Carlile. I love these books and am on pins and needles for the 4th to come out. You can also go to the websight and read the 1st chapter that she did on Edwards feelings and point of view when Bella come to town. And if I'm reading her right she's going to try and make a book about it too. So obsessed see. Have fun reading and be prepared for nothing to get done, at least thats how it is for me.
