The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer

I don't know how many of my family and friends are huge readers. I am. Only when I have the time, like when the kids are in bed. Normally I stick to reading my normal Nora Roberts or Janet Evanovich books. However, last November, I decided to read the Twilight books by Stephenie Meyer. Now, most of you are probably saying, "Melissa, isn't it made for teenagers?"
Well, yes, but the books are about 500+ pages and they totally engulf you. I read all four books, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn in less than two weeks. The relationship between vampire, Edward, and mortal Bella, is so painstakingly real. You can't help but get caught up in the romance of it all. When "Twilight" came out in the movie theater in November, Kevin took me. OMG! The movie was awesome! It followed the book pretty closely and Robert Pattinson who played Edward is H-O-T. (for a 22 year old). I highly recommend this book series to anyone from preteen to senior citizen. I have read all the books twice and am thinking about starting it again a third time....because that's a charm, right? Or is it....obsession?

Hi! I have been reading those two. A friend told me I had to read them. I have only finished the first two but I have the next two here whenever I get around to them.
