I fell so connected with all ur feelings that its crazy. I never was much of a reader. When i needed to read a book for school or college i paid with my sister to read it for me and make chapter plots and Q & A hahahaha. When the whole TS started in books and in movies i has so much in my plate that i never heard of it until the second movie came out for DVD ( i was a newly wed with a full time job, full time college, and pregnant believe me in that time i didn't knew even my name). So i was watching showtime and saw they were giving the first movie saw it and fall in love. That same moment took my kids and wallet and go to rent TS:NM and love it even more. In a month Eclipse was going into theaters but the week of the opening my kids got sick so i waited until it came out on DVD RENT IT and couldn't wait for the last part to know what had happened. So after seeing each movie at least 10 times order the complete saga of books. I read all the books twice in a week my house was a complete mess jajajaja. From the moment i read that something changed and a little time after i discover it was me. I started laughing more, i was very happy and blissfull my husband couldn't believe how much the story changed me.

Additional since reading SM story i discover that i really love to read. I have read since then 3 dozen of books from Hunger Games trilogy to comedies, to love stories to romance to thrillers and i love them all. Reading is my favorite hobby right know and i love it because relax me and make me as happy when i was a little girl. SO MommyMonster this story in my opinion changes everyone who read it. SO welcome to the club :-)

Thank you! This is a great suggestion for me. I've always seen the story everytime I write in my head so maybe that's why i prefer the visual so much more... thank you for the link as well. I'm farther in the book of course now so um feeling more with it than before ...

Huck Finn is not banned at ds's school. it's just not on the shelf. It's a middle school. They brought in some peculiar book written to order to fill in, instead of Huck Finn. It's awful. So, there are ways to ban, without banning. Ridicule, saying something is old and irrelevant, saying it is too difficult and too dull, only having ancient, dusty, unappealing copies, if at all.....no curb appeal, if you will.......

the books just about gave me a heart attack, in some not good ways. they hit a lot closer to home than I'd like, in the more overwrought sections, unfortunately. I'd been safely numb for about 25 years. for this, I am very grateful to Stephenie Meyer. She's something amazing accurate, on the parts most often dismissed.

it's kind of sad, really. the spouse is used to the closed off, level me. so i can't bring that energy and joy and hope into our house, basically. I can see it making life so much better for others.

Ok.. its offical. I got bitten. Seems those first 4 chapters well I just couldn't get into it. It took me three days to read that far. But last night I picked it up again . And as I read I melted into the story. The savoring of Edward. It's like something transformed within me and within less than 24 hours I had finished the book with a smile on my face. Now i get it. I totally get it....

It's offical, I'm head over heals....


I still think the movie is a near equally eqivilant. I say that only because both Robert and kristen so nailed their characters so well that you really felt them both in the book and on screen. It's just simply the best thing that's been made thus far . To caputure the pure essense of the characters in words and in megapixels ...


On to the next book. Will be buying it tommarow...
