An Unexpected Trip

*Alternative Title: 3 books, 3 days

Ryan surprised me when he came home on Friday.  He was sending me to Forks, Washington for the weekend.  I don't think he intended to, but he did. lol

He had been reading an article in Time magazine about an LDS mom who had a dream and woke up to write it down.  She kept writing.  Her book was published and started a series, The Twilight Series.  He was intrigued by the article and decided to get the first book.  Of course, as soon as he brought it home, I started reading first.  It was a series many of my friends have read and kept telling me that I should too.  They were so right!  I couldn't put it down.  For three days, I was a teenage girl named Bella totally and completely in love with a vampire.  *sigh* :)

...Oh yeah, where was I? lol... 

I think I was up reading until 3:30 that first night.  I read most of Saturday, finished the book, went to the bookstore and got the other two.  I was only up until midnight that night, I had early meetings for church in the morning.  But I stayed up til 2:30 that night and yesterday spent any spare moment I had finishing the third book.  I only have to wait 3 more months for the next one.

I don't think I'm in the minority when I say, I love Edward!  (I never thought I'd find a vampire so appealing! lol)  I am SO Team Edward, all the way!  They are making a movie and my biggest disappointment so far is the actor playing Edward.  I really liked him playing Cedric in HP, and I think he pulls off a vampire well, but not Edward.  He's simply not good looking enough to be Edward.  At least not the way they are doing his hair and make up in all the pictures I've seen.  :S

I loved the Twilight books.  Maybe not as much as Harry Potter and certainly not as much as LOTR, but I really, really liked them.  If you haven't read them yet - do!
