I finished. Late Wednesday night I read the last page of the last book of The Twilight Series. And then I cried. No, I am not joking.
The books were wonderful. Better than Gone With the Wind...I don't know. Honestly, I never read it. Just please remember that the author wrote these books for young adults.
The stories were entertaining, heart warming (and racing), full of love and passion and just plain enjoyable.
Honestly, these books are not my typical read. Honestly, I judged every last one of you that raved about them over the past 6 months. Honestly, I am a shmuck and now I am embarrassed that I, too, have hopped aboard the Cullen train!
So, if you haven't had a chance to start the series, do. The story of Edward, Bella and Jacob is every girl's fantasy....it may help you remember what you forgot that you wanted.
I won't pretend that they were the best books I EVER read (although they do come close). I don't want anyone to be disappointed and I find that when we build up expectations that is what will happen. I want every one of you to read these books and love them like I do.
Of course, now my house is trashed, Kirby is jealous (of Edward and Jacob, perhaps...but more likely over the fact that I have ignored him for the past week), the laundry needs to be folded, the floor needs to be mopped, the tub needs to be washed...all worth it.
Take a week, enjoy the books and let me know what you think!
I will be back to regular blogging soon enough...great pictures to come of our pumpkin fun and the kids great costumes!

Ohh I'm in the middle of the second book. Plan to have it done and the third one started this weekend! I LOVE them!
I think there should be special dispensations for "Moms Reading" once every six months; the rest of the family should pick up the slack and mop those floors and fold that laundry. I read somewhere that even a 5-year-old can be taught how to fold laundry. Yeah!! Let's hear it for child labor as life-readiness learning!!!
Alright, alright! I'm getting them already! Jeesh... :)
They were okay. I did read all four in about 5 days. I used to love VCAndrews as a kid and nothing could beat Children in the Attic, Heaven and Ruby to me!! lol
I so wish I had time to read! I feel like I am the only one in America not reading these books. Perhaps the world?!
