Twilight


Okay, so, I realize I am pretty obsessive and nerdy when it comes to books. And so this will make me sound even more so. But I have to confess, I might have a tiny crush on the main character in the latest book I'm reading.

He's 18. And a vampire. Actually, he's like 110, so it's not THAT bad. Right? Right.

I always get attached to the characters in my books. I fall in love with their stories, get caught up in their fictional lives and honestly care what happens to them. Tyler doesn't get this at all. I've actually only ever seen him read one fiction book the whole time I've known him. He thinks I'm a little weird. I think he is too. We're both right.

And I think he might be a little worried that I'm a bit too attached to the aforementioned vampire. But, I kid you not, this is one of the most mesmerizing characters I've read in a long time. And oh boy, the love story between him and the human girl he's in love with will make you SWOON. That's right, I said swoon.

So, I'm not playing around when I say you should rush out and get this book as soon as you can. It's actually a series of 4 books, but the first one is called "Twilight". You will love it. One of my fellow blog readers read the whole book in one day. And it's over 500 pages long. It's THAT good.

And the bonus? They're making it into a movie. Let the obsession continue...

totally read twilight last summer for a young adult lit. class. totally fell in love with edward cullen as well (wasn't that his name?) i think there must be some crazy voodoo magic in the writing or something. (you should check out the pieces of flair on facebook and how many have to do with this character. pretty funny.)

Oh, don't worry, Brenda has already sent me several pieces of Twilight flair. She is said friend who read the book in one day. I was impressed.

And yes, Edward Cullen is his name. *Sigh*

these books are literary cocaine. seriously. i read all three in a total of like four or five days. And read her new sci fi bookthe host in a couple of days as well. i might be interviewing the author next week on the radio. maybe i can get her to autograph an edward poster for you!

Don't tease me, Michelle.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a crush/obsession on a fictional character. i will go on the record for saying that. even if he is 17-ish...

Jennifer- should I read this even though I just finished THE SHACK?

You should definitely read it! Of course, it's totally different than The Shack. I'm warning you though - you probably won't want to put it down!
