Yesterday morning my husband woke up to find me under the covers, reading with a flashlight. I woke up early to read and I knew he would get up soon and I didn't want to crawl out of my toasty bed. I also didn't want to wake him with the light - so there I was. I started my morning session around page 150 of New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, the second of her Twilight series.I started Twilight on the bus on Monday on my way to New York. I finished on Tuesday.
I finished New Moon yesterday, Thursday.
I am chomping at the bits to start the third one which is in my living room and I have promised myself that I MUST MUST MUST get some work done before I can begin on it. But, even now, I am wondering how long I will hold out.
This is my problem. This is why I don't read that much. Because if a book is ho-hum, I'll just drop it. I don't care. But if it hooks me and the only think keeping me from knowing what happens next is my own power to turn the page - I can not help myself. I will read at every opportunity I get. One book is not so bad. I can finish it quickly and reclaim my life and my productive habits. But a FOUR BOOK series - that takes a chunk out of my life.
My house is a mess. The laundry has been sitting in the dryer for days. I don't care. Every spare moment goes to the books. I will only be free when I am done. And then, I will be a little sad about it. But I can read them again - not soon. But later, when I have some time and I bet, then, that I will be able to keep it under control at least a little bit better.
At least I hope.

I've been curious about this series, me being a vamp lover and all.
I am the same way with books that capture my imagination.
You will LOVE them.
I totally forgot they were making it in to a movie...... don't like the actors they cast. They don't look ANYTHING like the way I imagined Bella, Edward.
But....ooooooooo the trailer looks WICKED good!
You know - I saw pics of the actors before I started reading the first book so I just used that to inform my reading. I don't think you're the only person to feel that way.
I think the girl they got for Bella seems perfect though. Pretty - not gorgeous. I can see how she would look at herself as plain but how others would see her as very attractive.
I'm on page 200 or so in Book 3 - LOVE IT!
