Twilight coma

So my twilight coma lasted from 10 pm tuesday until 12 pm Friday. Daniel didn't appreciate it but I already warned him. He got to rent two movies every night. They were the ones I don't appreciate. Usually guy guy movies. Then he went golfing for 5 hours Friday morning so I don't think I feel guilty for reading. It didn't help that it was Thanksgiving and we had a lot of church stuff to do and lessons to prepare. I was lucky because Eva and Alexander like to play together now. I mostly read at night instead of sleeping and I didn't eat much. I couldn't put them down. Well I could and I did because I obviously have two children but I didn't get much laundry done. I liked it and thats that. Now I understand all the crazyness around it.

If you aren't a fan of the books this post ends here.

I really enjoyed these books. They are the first in a long time that made me want to reread straight away to get the whole perspective. I must say I loved Twilight but then New Moon put me in a foul mood until the end parts. Then I enjoyed eclipse until the end when she loves them both. GAG I don't believe in two loves sorry. But then after Breaking Dawn it all made so much sense and everything clicked. There were no problems with continuity so I loved it. What a fun bunch of books. Oh and I also read the portion of midnight sun on her website. I enjoyed it so much. I don't know why it was leaked. They should have known that when a ruin an authors mood on a book they wont write more and whats the point of half a book.

I was so stressed reading parts of the books because I was sure someone would get killed and die because most authors love that kind of drama. So in the end I was so happy and in a good mood. Yay for this series. Now I want to go back and watch the movie again. I don't think the movie did Edward justice when it came to his lines but it would have been an 18 hour movie otherwise. I liked the actor they chose. Very handsome and the hint of his British Accent helped convince me of his 1918 life. It would have been difficult with a typical modern American accent. Those are my thoughts. Go read it but only if you have time to enjoy it. I would have been so frustrated if I didn't wait for all 4 books to come out. Especially if I would have had to wait after book 2. I think I will wait until the end of all series before reading them. I waited until book 5 was out with Harry Potter and waiting for the last two was frustrating.

YEA!! Well, what can I say? The Twilight books are the BEST! Now you understand all the hysteria around them and the movie. I was dying waiting for Breaking Dawn to come out, so you're actually very smart to wait for all 3 to be released and then read them all straight through. I think Twilight and Breaking Dawn are my favorites! Oh and Midnight Sun, too. I hope she gets around to finishing it so it can be published. YEA for Twilight!!!

I am so glad you like them. It was fun to gush together. hehe. anyway, you asked on my blog if jane eyre was any good. I loved it so much, but it's by a bronte, and they tend to write darker stories. It's a bit devastating at times, but I love it. I have an issue with many classics, because some are awful, and I feel i have wasted a huge chunk of time on some really crappy books, but this is definitely not one I feel that way about. i am sooooooooooo excited to meet Eva too! and to see how big Alexander is! so fun. can't wait.
