Twilight Saga

My new obsession. I fought and fought reading these books. (1) it's not the normal genre for me (2) and there are paranormal elements (also not generally what I care to read) but with that being said I LOVED all of the books in the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer. TWILIGHT, NEW MOON, ECLIPSE, and BREAKING DAWN.

I really really enjoyed reading all of them. The second was the hardest to read (those of you have read it know why) but it was still a fantastic book. BREAKING DAWN is my favorite but I truly enjoyed them all. Edward, Bella, Jacob, Sam... All of the characters are fun to read about.

Twilight the movie is good. I didn't care for it the first time I watched it though. The sequencing of some of the events and how they happened were very different then the book. Once I had more time to not be so involved in reading the books (I saw Twilight right after reading the book so I was still too close to enjoy the movie as a movie). But I now own the DVD and have watched it more times then I can count.

I LOVE seeing the characters on the screen. Wonderful casting for the movie and an excellent sound track. Mark your calendars - Nov. 20th New Moon is scheduled to be released on the big screen.

I am currently re-reading BREAKING DAWN. I am enjoying it as much as the first time I read it - maybe even more.

What fantastic reads.

If you haven't read these four books you should. You can ask anyone that was talking to me at the time of reading these books - I didn't do anything until I read the last page of the last book.
