Twilight Detox

I'm starting to think Twilight is a drug -- and I'M ADDICTED! I just finished the second book yesterday morning, and found myself having "Twilight fits" (like nicotine fits) wanting the third book. I was reading at every possible moment -- in the bathroom, waiting for something to load on my computer, waiting for Chase at soccer, waiting for something to cook -- the book was always with me. When Tara came home from school, I asked her where the third book was and she said it was in her locker at school [breathe, breathe, breathe]. She smiled at me and said, "Do you want to go back and get it? Can I drive?" A wave of rationality came over me and I told her that I would wait until Monday afternoon to get it. I realized I needed some detox from Twilight before I delve back into it. Before I started reading, no one told me that it would consume me -- from my thoughts to my actions. Whew! I'm doing okay right now [hyperventilating] and I can wait [Monday, Monday, Monday] until Monday. [I wonder if Barnes and Noble has any in stock?]

You're so funny! At least you get to read them all in a row instead of waiting for each one to come out! When I bought the first one, the lady at the bookstore warned me not to start reading until I could do nothing else! I could just start e-mailing you a paragraph at a time...

Theresa, you are hilarious. Now I know I will wait to start those when I have a little more time.

I have one you can borrow if you can't wait until Monday. I know exactly what you are going through. It is all consuming. But I loved every minute of it. Let me know if you need my book.

I read #3 really slow, it took me a month to get through it. I didn't want it to end so I just took my time.

You should have called me! I would have loaned you my book #3! I am so glad that you have finally joined the club. They are good, huh? Are you on book 4 now? I hope that you can take a break from reading to go to lunch today. You have to eat sometime.

Have you checked out Stephanie Meyer's website? You need to read the start of Midnight Sun. It is a bummer that someone ruined the rest of the book for everyone.
It is just StephanieMeyer.com
