I have alot of thoughts about the new year and what it holds for Dave and I. I will share those with you all, of course, in the next few days.
But first let me admit to something that I am terribly embarrassed about. For Christmas I asked for the Twilight books....the ones that had the movie version come out last month. It was such a huge deal in the pop culture world (and all who know me know that I love to follow pop culture) so I had to see what they are all about.
Well, I have read the first two books (both over 500 pages) in just three days. I started the third, against my better judgement, last night. I have lots to do this week, so I was going to try and wait to start the third one, but alas, my will power wasn't strong enough.
They are incredibly good. The author knows how to write to teenage girls (or in this case 20 something women) and has a way of making you emotionally involved with these characters. Never once have I read a book and felt my heart race with what I was reading. I'm totally embarrassed, because, well, they are books meant for teenagers. But...at work the other day I discovered that my friend in the pharmacy (a 30 year old with a child) is slightly obsessed with them too. And she is way normal, so that made me feel better about it.
So, if any of you women out there are looking for a little indulgence that includes some vampire romance and action, buy the books. It's a nice escape from ordinary life. And after you read them, call me and we can gush all about it.

you're hilarious=) I just can't bring myself to read them. I'm sure I'd love them, but I just can't do vampires.
and the Franchine Rivers series, Voice in the Wind, I think it's called, made my heart race. I read them the first month I was married. I think that was literally a wake up call to my new hubby about my can't-put-this-down-read-at2-am-book-obsession. which is prolly another reason I just can't read the twilight series-I need my sleep!=)
hugs to you cuz
Haha, I TOTALLY wanted to see the movie! I might just have to get the books...that is if I can figure out how to read while chasing crazy baby around the house 24/7!
Don't worry, I have a lot of teenage-type obsessions too that I'm embarrased about (mainly my myspace account:-)
I gave in too. After all my middle schoolers I was subbing for were reading, and SEVERAL of my friends, I threw in the towel. They are a fun read, but alas, the last one is a bit of a let-down. Happy reading!
That's funny. Kimberly got the first one from one of her friends for Christmas. Apparently she's hooked too. Maybe now, I'll start having a little more time that I can actually read for fun!!
31 year old mommies like them too!
