You are so on point with everything you say (except for the team edward thing...i love me some jacob...although i'll admit that I love the relationship between him and bella) I love how you said you rushed out to the store to buy the books and spent all this money because thats exactly how it happened for me (between me and you, thats probably why i dont mind spending a lot on books now...because I started out spending a lot). I read each book 1 day each....the book went with me EVERYWHERE...i ate with it, slept with it, you name it I did it. I couldnt put it down, and like you...once I was done, I wanted to read it again. It was like I was caught up in a tornado that I never wanted to end!Sherrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132055588504532128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-81714609754997499742011-11-02T23:21:18.703-05:002011-11-02T23:21:18.703-05:00My favourite thing about Twilight is the vampire m...My favourite thing about Twilight is the vampire mythology, which, like you, I felt was completely new and different from anything I'd read before. Most importantly, Twilight vampires just seem infinitely more dangerous than normal vampires. In normal vamp culture, a bite never kills unless that is the vamp's intention (and it usually isn't), plus they can mind control the person into seeming everything is okay. The victim forgets about everything and continues on with their life, no big deal. With Twilight, the vampires were actually scary (in addition to be super dreamy, heehee). They are the ultimate killing machines and I really liked that.<br /><br />And in combination with that, the werewolf (or shapeshifter) mythology in response to the vampires was super interesting too.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-42709085367425492512011-11-01T21:41:29.694-05:002011-11-01T21:41:29.694-05:00I'm so excited for your month of Twilight!

I think I can safely say that it's a guilty pleasure for me. Sure I can find a lot of things to roll my eyes about, but I can't deny how much I enjoy talking about the books and characters. <br /><br />I can't wait to read your fan fiction!!

You summed up the reasons I love T...Fantastic post. You summed up the reasons I love Twilight so well. I especially love what you said about the Cullens and Edward.<br /><br />"[T]he magic of Twilight is really about the Cullens for me." Me too. I don't mind the werewolves, but honestly, werewolves are my least favorite paranormal creature. So, the Cullens are much more captivating and intriguing to me. Also, I love the Volturi as the bad guys. They show what the Cullens could be like if they gave in to their natural desires.<br /><br />"In real life, I would be much more attracted to someone like Jacob, but for whatever intangible reason, he holds no magic for me. A lovable sweet guy, but I'm all about Edward." So so true! I'd never date a guy like Edward. Honestly, I think I'd be too scared to. Jacob is so much better of a "real" person, but he holds no magic for me. When I first read New Moon, I hated him. I've finally made my peace with him and can tolerate him as a good friend for Bella and Renesmee's match.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-24019099591202905732011-11-01T15:14:58.763-05:002011-11-01T15:14:58.763-05:00I'm a Twilight fan, I even took my kids to the...I'm a Twilight fan, I even took my kids to the midnight party for the last book, I couldn't risk not getting one of the books. I've got stickers and posters from that night. My poor little ones fell asleep in a chair waiting for the sale of the books at my beloved Borders! (hubs was out of town). My favorite was the second book, New Moon. I loved the way she did the depression, just listing the months.<br /><br />And I absolutely loved what was released by Stephanie Meyer's website of Midnite Sun!! I just wish she would write the rest. Know anything about that?<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-37649632124280789102011-11-01T13:17:28.702-05:002011-11-01T13:17:28.702-05:00I read "Twilight" in December 2005.

Now I'm actually an admin for the Lex. :)<br />From there I delved deeper into the paranormal romances and actually got interested in the "traditional vampires". <br /><br />Unfortunately, with the release of the movies, I've found my enthusiasm for the books wane. I guess I lost the feeling of imagining what the TW world looked like. I do, however, cherish my reading experiences and will always look upon that fondly.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-51466044901068005692011-11-01T13:07:06.880-05:002011-11-01T13:07:06.880-05:00I'm a big fan of this series myself, especiall...I'm a big fan of this series myself, especially the first book. I picked up the first three novels after I saw a trailer in the movie theaters for the first movie. I was a little late to the bandwagon. Funnily enough, I'd picked up the novels a million times before and always put it down to buy something else. I was wrong (I'm willing to admit it) but I was so glad I just went on ahead and bought them all. <br /><br />What I wasn't expecting is to be swept up into the story the way Harry Potter did for me. Twilight was magic. When the fourth novel came out, I went back to my hometown and to the bookstore I used to work and ran the event (with my best friend) for the final book since no one at the store had read them. It was awesome!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803751424984029342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-49242049455158891562011-11-01T11:45:47.291-05:002011-11-01T11:45:47.291-05:00Wow, I can't imagine a world where my parents ...Wow, I can't imagine a world where my parents have read Twilight. I mean,my Mom has seen the first two movies and wants to see the new one. I'm really suprised she likes it.<br /><br />I read Twilight after seeing it on on Fandom Secrets when I was 19. We were driving to Disney World, and I read all 3 books on the way there. Then the 4th came out one month later. It was all kind of a blur because I read them all at the same time.Kat C @ Books and Sensibilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567014032259375319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-7592141086537170612011-11-01T09:31:34.239-05:002011-11-01T09:31:34.239-05:00Man girl you pretty much nailed it on the head i l...Man girl you pretty much nailed it on the head i love everything you commented on. I feel the exact same way. I love Twilight and it will always have a special place in my heart because its the book that got me back into reading, and reading YA.

I pickup Twilight August because everyone was making a big deal of the newest book's release BD, and I just had to know what the fuse was about. I read it in record time, then went to Walmart and bought the rest of the books, too. I spend the entire month re-reading then in Sept, when my sister borrowed my Twilight books, I signed up on fanfiction.net to read more Twilight stories, then I started writing my own. It was insane! <br /><br />When November rolled around, I was at that midnight showing of the first movie and Loved Every Minute of it.

In fact, FX has played Twilight for like 4 days straight this weekend and I've somehow ended up watching it each night (even though I own all the DVDs). Hubby just walks in and rolls his eyes :-)<br /><br />Oh, and I also love (love.) the music in all the movies and listen to it on my ipod. I agree that it has totally influenced my music preferences.<br /><br />Can't wait to see all your posts!Jackie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05604218048290005041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-47428523281326618092011-11-01T00:36:52.376-05:002011-11-01T00:36:52.376-05:00I love this post.

Like you I got caught up in Twilight and reread the whole series two times in a row and looooved it for a long time. I feel like I'm a bit over it at the moment and I can't quite pinpoint why, but I think this month will help me reignite my love!<br />I can't believe your dad has read the series! That's great.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191122506568430650noreply@blogger.com
