I Want to Fall in Love with a VAMPIRE.





To everyone who has yet to read the most amazing books on the face of the planet: Do it now. The TWILIGHT series, by Stephenie Meyer, are seriously the best books I've ever read. I know what you're thinking. "The Vampire book? Sounds retarded. Stupid. Won't read it. Nope. Don't wanna. You can't make me. NO." But come on, just give in the the hype that is going on all around you and pick up the book that will soon take over your life. I read the second book in about 2 days, I couldn't put it down. I actually lost 3 pounds reading this book! I didn't stop to eat, sleep, (barely stopped to work. . . I read every spare moment at my job, much to the disapproval of my co-workers.) Vampire love story you say? Yes. Cheesy? No. Yes, a vampire love story does sound somewhat juvenile, but it truly is presented in such a unique and beautiful way that you find yourself wishing it could be your life. Not because your real life is empty or lonely of unsatisfying- none of that. Simply because you will get drawn into the outstanding character development and the beautiful world that is Stephenie Meyer's amazing novel. The first book is called TWILIGHT, and the second is NEW MOON. (Yes, I totally put on the fake tattoos that come with the second one -but so did 4 other grown women with me. . . it helps to justify.) The third book, ECLIPSE, is being released on AUGUST 7TH. A couple of us girls are going to the release party at Border's and are getting the book at 12:01 a.m. Sick? No. Unhealthy obsession? No. Completely entrapped in the most amazing fictional piece of literature I have ever picked up? Yes. Read the books. Do it. All of my married friends have made their husbands read the books so that they can discuss it together. All I can say is it's a good thing I don't have a husband. . . .

This is the author, Stephenie Meyer. Sheer brilliance.
