The book series Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse
is awesome.

We at our school are in a huge reading campaign and I just finished three of the series. There is one more to go.

It is a good mystery romance


has anyone else read it?

1. I read them all in the span of 2 weeks.
Part of that was having to wait for the last book to come out. I really really enjoyed it. It's the only series that I've reread so soon after I finished.

She also wrote Twilight from Edward's point of view. It was called Midnight Sun and was supposed to be released, but someone she sent a sample to leaked it, and now there is a possibility she won't release it. However, you can read about 250 pages of it on her website. I'm hoping she changes her mind and releases Midnight Sun.

Glad to have another Twilighter around.

:hi:

4. After the party sucked.
I felt so in that moment with Bella. Stephenie does a great job of getting you to love and care about her characters.

11. I'm only bummed out about the actor playing Charlie.
I don't know why, but when reading the book, I kept picturing the actor that plays Harry Morgan, Dexter's Dad, as Charlie.

:shrug:

7. You should at least pick up the first book.
I'm not that interested in the movie, but the book is fun to read.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

13. The 4th book in the series is my favorite...
Also, if you go on Stephanie Meyer's website, you can read the first 12 chapters of "Midnight Sun" which is Twilight from Edward's perspective which is pretty damn incredible. Unfortunately she refuses to write beyond chapter 12 because some asshole leaked the manuscript online.

Meyer blogs about it here and links to "Midnight Sun" at the bottom of her post: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html
