I think I told this before, but I'll tell it again here, where it actually belongs.

My mom was given the books by one of her work friends. She off handedly mentioned it to me one night, and I didn't pay too much attention to it. The next time I talked to her, she told me she had read Twilight in just a few hours (sitting in the bathtub no less!) and she texted her friend who had given it to her, "Ok, so I'm ready to run off with Edward and have his fanged children" because she loved him so much. I laughed because I thought it was cute she was so excited about something, and then she started telling me to read them.

I told her no thanks, because I was convinced it was just a "teen" book and I didn't even like teen books when I was a teen. I have always read books that are considered advanced, I just always liked them better and I've always been an avid reader ever since I knew how. I love romance novels, and I supernatural novels aren't really my thing, so I was convinced I wouldn't like it. My mom gave me the book anyway, and it stayed in the floor of the backseat of my car for weeks, along with my trash from Mickey D's and stuff (I can't believe I was so careless now!)

When I found out they were making a movie, I would send my mom little snipets of gossip I found online, and we even had a discussion of Rob playing Edward. We both agreed he wasn't that cute (this was before I'd really seen him, ok?) and maybe he would do a good job. My mom then got me and my sisters and brother tickets to go to the midnight showing of the movie with her.

I finally decided to read the book out of pure curiosity so I could compare it to the movie. I remember at bed time that night, I went out to my car and dug the book out of the mountain of trash and settled into bed to read. My mom had already told me a lot of the first chapter, and I realized by Chapter Two that I was hooked. I finished Twilight in about 3 hours.

The next day, I was beyond excited because I would be seeing the movie in a few hours, and it was seriously all I could talk about. Seriously, I was hoarse at the end of the day. I couldn't shut up.

I saw the movie that night, and loved it. Rob completely sucked me into the story, and I thought he did such an amazing job. After that night, I read all the rest of the books and I haven't looked back since!

I totally agree with Ana when she said that Stephanie Meyer isn't the best writer. When I was reading the books out loud to Jeremy, we both would laugh every time she used the word "impetuous" since she used it so many times. But I have never read another story that reached out and grabbed me the way this series did. She is a damn good story teller, and I hope that her writing improves as she continues in her career.

That is a fabulous story! Is your mom excited for New Moon to come out? What did she think of Twilight?

My mom read the series, as did my sister. It backfired. Now they just criticize Kristen Stewart for being a bimbo in the movie and Robert Pattinson for being sparkly.

It drives me nuts... reason number 17 why I'm a closeted blogger.

Yeah my mom is excited, but not as much as me lol. She liked the book better than the movie, which is normal I think.

Let me say how much I love this sie, I dont feel like I need to hide my Lust for Edward or all of Twilight.

Mine didn't happen exactly like some of yours but I have all the same symptoms

I actually bite my husband in play, and as much at he loves how playful I have become, he still thinks I'm crazy.

My children keep saying, "you're reading it again."

My friend says I need Professional HELP and

I just cant get enough.

My local radio station started talking about the book so I had to read it. I got the first book and before the night was over I went back to the store and bought New Moon and Eclipse. I finsihed those in a matter of days, three to be exact. I was in a panic the movie had been out and seen three times before I even started reading. When I went back to the store Breaking Dawn was gone. I went to two other stores, and spent two days of lunch breaks looking. Finally I picked up the kids kissed my hubby off to work and went to the walmart an extra 10 miles from my house. Finally I had the final instalment. I could read what happend and I didnt put it down until I was finished.

I have read all four book many times sinse then, and still cant stop.

The biggest irony is that my favorite part that once read I began quoting to my friend is Edward's bitting of the pillows after the honeymoon.

Glad to have you! RAWR-- that is such a fabulous part of the Saga- we wait four books for some real action; biting pillows is about all the juiciness we get after all that, so I'll take it!

Thanks for fessing up; come back and join us often!

I don't understand why my aunt, who told me I should read Twilight and the other 3, called me a Twilight obsessed woman when she was the one who "sired" me. Oh well, it has been a positive thing, I have this wonderful site, I've made friends on the internet that love it, and I'm aiming for fall semester in college. Twilight came along when I needed it to.

Fall semester in college- with New Moon on the way? I have a straight A friend who let her grades lapse during the whole Twilight movie phenomenon. It was insane. She's finally back on track.

So just so you know now, keep those grades up and stay on task in the wake of New Moon and naked werewolves running around. I'm just saying...

So i discovered twilight by walking into a barnes and noble. I had made a mental note to read it b/c i knew a movie was coming. Then in Nov of 08 i saw the coverage of the twilight/rob patz cast tour to malls including my own dallas galleria mall. i said "well that looks like cedric diggory from harry potter and the goblet of fire - and well he's hot and looks like a bfd. so i picked up the first book on a monday 9am and didnt put it down until 2am tues. (the movie was coming out that friday)at that time i was 7 months pregnant, and i coughed it up to pregnancy induced obsession. so i go and get the next 3 books with no intention to be caught up in the media blitz but continued to read the rest of the books over the next week. and had finished the series the following monday. i saw the movie probably 6 times in the theaters. i would wake up on an off day of work, say hmmm im bored today im gonna see twilight, or re read a chapter. i embarrassingly enough tell people my new hobby and people excuse it b/c im a hormone crazy pregnant lady, but it was my husband who after listening to the books on tape with me decided i have an obsessive disorder. because my daughter is now 9 months old annnnnd, no meds can cure this hormonal disorder!

My Best friend was reading Twilight this past summer.. I saw the book and about fell to the floor.. I think my response was HOLY THICK BOOK! She offered to let me borrow it when she finished & went on & on about how great it was & that I too would get addicted. I graciously said no thank you I am not a book worm - I hate reading & thats a monster of a book there.. she then pulled out the remaining 3 books to show me Twilight was really nothing, the rest of the books were even thicker.. ! Needless to say, I purposfully stayed away from the Twilight Books & Swore them off!

About a month later I was home sick with my kids.. not feeling well we all deceided that we would watch a movie on demand. I wanted to watch Bride Wars & my 2 boys ages 9 & 11 wanted to watch Twilight- "it's a Vampire Movie Mom"! I had super low expectations and just figured I would suck it up for the kids sake. By the time the movie was over I was rather quiet & it began to resinate.. then I watched it again & again.. 3 times in one day.. I called in sick to work for the next 2 days & re-ordered it.. I am not even going to tell ANYONE how many times I watched & paid for that on demand! But it was ALOT! (I hid my cable bill that month from my husband)So on the 3rd day I called my Best Friend who had offered to let me borrow the books & asked her to bring Twilight to our Boot Camp Workout - she immediately says.. "ll bring you two - Twilight & New Moon".. I tried to tell her.. oooh no, I seriously doubt I'll get through Twilight, but she brought both, I read Twilight in less than two days & went right on into New Moon.. I went out & bought Eclipse & Breaking Dawn just before I finished New Moon & read all 4 in less than 6 days. Now I work full time as an Executive in my industry.. I was one tired business woman for about a week! I loved them so much that I also went & purchased my own copies of Twilight & New Moon.. I have since read the series an additional 3 times.. my husband thinks I am a complete NUT! I own the Special Edition Twilight Movie, I have the Sound track from Twilight on itunes.. I stalk all the Twilight sites & this is the first that I have really ever owned up to my secret obsession...

My Best friend thinks I am a complete nut.. she still hasn't watched the movie "Twilight".... I took my kids with a neighbor to see New Moon on opening day.. I felt like such a school girl - thank god I had kids to drag along with me! I will definately be owning New Moon when it comes out on DVD as well as the other movies as they are released!
