Vampires

August 1st i started reading Stephanie Myer's TWILIGHT series... As of Tuesday this week (12th of August) i was done with the entire series. (4 books) Now, granted they are an easy read... but there is like 700 pages in each book. So, needless to say i either A. had more free time then i thought i had or B: I neglected the things i should've been doing to read the stupid books. Chances are the later of the two actually happened. Here is my opinion of the series...
I did not want to read the books... First off because EVERYONE is reading the series. Just like say- Harry Potter.... it seemed to be the popular thing to do. I mean, seriously there are even church groups in Tennessee who are having book clubs, and renting out theaters for when the movie comes out... It's not even a church author. Sure, Stephanie went to school at BYU, but clearly the book is not a LDS novel... There is cussing, and sex ... not to mention Vampires and Werewolves... Anyway...And since i'm clearly a non conformist i did not want to be seen reading these books. Not to mention, i have plenty of other things i need to be doing besides ready some Youth Fiction. PLEASE!
But, I had a good friend who let me borrow a copy and said I had to read it... so i did...
The outcome -I read the series in 12 days, I enjoyed them thoroughly and worse of them all....

I'm completely in love with a vampire!!! LOL
