New Obsession

So I have acquired a new obsession and I lay the blame at Lighthearted Librarian and my sister-in-law's feet. LL has been writing reviews on the Twilight series and asked if I had read it yet. Being a big Buffy fan, one would think I would have already been swept into the melee surrounding this series. I had debated reading the books, but after reading several reviews decided against it. But LL really enjoyed the series and even loaned me the second book in the series. So I placed my holds request for Twilight (#138 on the list) and figured I'd get around to it.

My sis-in-law had part of the series when we visited and she talked about how much she enjoyed them. She even owned two copies of Twilight, but of course did not have them at the house. So off to the bookstore for an early holiday gift and I am now the owner of part of the series.

I won't deny, I am not impressed with the writing style and I know the story is cheesy, but I am hooked. I am currently reading the third book and plan to reread the first next week. I love the story itself. I always like the bad boy theme and I enjoy Edward's struggle with loving and wanting to kill Bella. I can remember my own teenage romance and how I felt, so I can relate to the book.

So of course, now I am determined to finish the series quickly. And Becky, Erin, and I have plans to see the movie opening weekend. I know make fun! I can't explain it. I have found a new obsession.
