This after a few days of non-stop reading of a book series I’ve just stumbled accross – the Twilight saga… I decided one day that I needed to check it out.  No one I knew had read it, but I was seeing things all over myspace related to this series and I thought I needed to check it out.

The following day I had a playdate with an old co-worker.  I knew she was a “reader” so I asked her if she’d heard of it.  She said “YEAH! Actually, after this I’m hitting the bookstore and picking up a copy!” That was it, now I had to read it.  I told her that when she was done, I needed to borrow it.

I didn’t last that long.  Two days later, I drove a half hour into an adjacent town (I was on vacation in the stix) to a walmart to pick up the paperback copy.  I couldn’t ignore my family completely (I’m a mom of two so there is no way I’m getting away with that) or else I would have finished it in a matter of hours.  By the following morning, just after breakfast, I was done and I was HOOKED.  When my son, 10 months old, ripped the cover off in my absence, I freaked out… my husband didn’t see why I cared so much, but this was one of those series I NEEDED to keep and read again!  Less than an hour later, I had all 4 books (including Breaking Dawn) on order from Amazon.

Even then, I was SO impatient with Amazon, I cancelled that order and went to Target to purchase #2 and #3 – which within 3 days I have completed.  I’m sick – all I do is think about twilight, I can replay scenes in my head, I can see it all perfectly. 

Am I retarded or what?  Does anyone else find themselves crazy over this series, over these characters?  ARRRGGGHHH!!!
