Twilight Series is Astounding

Hello everyone,

My teen daughter has encouraged me for months to read the Twilight series. I scoffed at the idea on numerous occasions. "Who me?? read about vampires?? read about werewolves?? You must be joking!! Harry Potter Yes, Vampires No!"

She got me at a weak moment on a plane with nothing to do, and handed me the Twilight book #1. She of course had already finished the series but had this book hiding in her carry on. She waited for just the right moment to pounce. I kinda pursed the lips and said again, "yeah right, sure." But she persisted so I decided to start reading. You know what, I almost didn't want to get off the plane because I would have to stop reading!!! Imagine my surprise when I got totally engulfed in the book so quickly.

I read the other 3 books quickly there after. And then the most amazing thing happened, I had to read them a second time! I let my newest mystery novel by my FAVORITE author languish on the counter in favor of a second read. Then I went back and read the love scenes again, how utterly silly and delightful is that? Apparently, I am a hopeless romantic. I highly recommend this series. And, NO, you can't borrow my copy, I might want to read them again!
