My library still didn't have a copy available so I broke down and bought "Twilight" in paperback at Dillons (Kroger) on Thursday. I finished it this morning. I thought it was pretty good. Obviously intended for teenagers of course but still, entertaining.

My DH asked me if I was going to read the others. I said "only if the library has them available". But I couldn't get it out of my head. So I ran down to Borders this afternoon and bought "New Moon." I'm reserving the next one right now at my library so it's available.

I have read all of them, and loved them. I agree that the 4th book was a bit off from the rest of the series, it was still good, but the writing was different along with the twists.
my 11 & 13 year old daughters also read and loved the series. We went to the midnight release party of Breaking Dawn, and Taylor Lautner (who is Playing Jacob Black in the movie) was there signing autographs and posing for pics. It was a "surprise visit" from him, as he happened to be in town visiting family

DD loves this series, she is re-reading Twilight again before the movie comes out, (on her B-day, I was told 11/21, she had to call and tell me just that)LOL

My 13 year daughter read the first book in one day. She couldn't put it down. We had to go out and buy the second the next day. Currently reading number three. Loves the books and cant wait for the movie to be released.

Anyone heard of these books? Do you like them?

Thanks!

I had stumbled upon a table display of these books back in July at my SWM. I read the inside cover of a few of the saga series before realizing it actually was a series and meant to be read in order. Of course there were nearly nothing left of them on this table and not ONE of the first one, Twilight to be found in the store. I came home, searched Walmart.com and realized that there was an exclusive box set being released in Oct. My mom had "owed" me a birthday gift as she puts it and asked if I would like her to pre-order the set,,,I jumped up and said YES!! Soooo, When the set arrived last Month, I was anxious to start reading, but LIFE got in my way and I suddently found my 15yr old daughter (book NUT) with it in her hand...two days later, I asked if she could wait til I had a chance to read it first and she claimed, "Thats ok mom, I've finished it"....WHAT? Over 600pgs in 2 days!!! Now I really wanted to read it, wondering what had driven her to keep reading like that. By the end of that week, she was on book 3. Needless to say, she has finished ALL the books and I had pre-ordered our tickets for the Movie Premier last night and OMG...It was FABULOUS!!!

Now I'm not the type of person to talk during a Movie, I actually despise people who do, but I found myself at several points whispering to DD "that didn't happen in the book" and so on...hehe. I was however, shocked at the wide age range of the audience. I kept thinking, "all these little kids couldn't possibly have read the book, nor would they really understand most of the dialogue"...haha. But there sat kids of 7,8,9,10yrs old and with T-Shirts on as well...hmmm and to think that I had my ex-hubby take my 7 & 10yr old overnight so that we could see the movie at midnight...

Ok, enough babble from me...for now....LOL

Going tonite with DD to see "Twilight" I'm so excited!! I booked our tickets online

cause everyone that I know that read the books are planning on going.

[bargainshopper]

I am reading this series as we speak. A friend mentioned that I should read it and I just put it in the back up my head and then Kroger had Twilight for $4.80 so I thought hmmm why not! so I bought and and made it through it in about 2 nights. Then I had to run out and buy New Moon, again it took maybe two nights. I couldn't find three but where I started working a co-worker also has read the series and has them so she has loaned me 3 and 4 I finished the 3rd in two nights and now will probably make it through the 4th this weekend! I love them!

I want to watch the movie as well, but I have to find someone to go with me as I don't know that I want to take my DS with me!

[*jake&beccasMom*]

I am going tonight with my sister, we read the books back to back and have been dying to go, I got my tickets on Tuesday.. good thing because it is sold out now!

[MarianTupeloMs]

ohhh I loved the movie!!! I'm 52 years old and I loved it!! My daughter was like why are all

the older ladies here?? duh... We enjoy love stories too!!

[332pca]

One of the nurses at my doctor's office is reading it. She saw me reading Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (TRUE BLOOD HBO series) and said that younger kids like the Twlight whereas older adults go for Harris's. She said it was very good. Did any one see the Movie as yet?

[*jake&beccasMom*]

I saw it last night, it was awesome! I wouldn't have gotten some of the funnies if I hadnt read the book though...

[DanicaV]

Yep...even if they include vampires...hehehe

I just finished reading Eclipse (the third in the series) and im waiting on Breaking Dawn to become available for me to read

[mkb1221]

One of my 4th graders read it along with her father. They loved it. The whole family went (her 2nd gr. brother also) to see the movie. I can't wait to read it.

[klarsen117]

My DH bought the me the first 2 for my bday and gave them to me on the 16.. took me a week to finish both. Then for Christmas he gave me the last two and read Eclipse in a little more than 1 day. I just couldn't put it down. I started reading Breaking Dawn earlier but I'm stalling.. I don't want to finish it already. I wish she would go ahead and write the 5th.. I really like the books.

[Jeannemc]

Thank you all for posting this. My dd will be 12 in a few days asked for the books for Christmas and my fil said no way. He checked them out and sent me a not so nice email. I will go with what I thought and get them for her.
She is now reading inkheart,inkspell and inkdeath.

I can n ot wait to get thesae for her now.Thanks again

[AngieP]

okay i got sucked into these books by a friend who is reading them....she mailed me the first one and i can't put the darn thing down....oh and to make matters worse, I think I'm secretly in love with Edward I should be done with Twilight next week and I should have the second book by then.....UGH....I didn't expect to like these books now I'm all giddy when I get a chance to read it.

[cjaxon05]

I promised my cousin I would read these and I read Twilight. Like everyone else I could not put it down. I neglected my housework and homework because I just did not want to stop reading it. I am on a waiting list from the library to get 3rd and 4th book. I can't wait!!!
