I'm Finished!

I cannot believe that I read 4 books, twilight through breaking dawn in less than 2 weeks. I LOVED it! I love the way it ended. Reading the reviews for 1 star leave me thinking "huh?". I'll probably read it again and again. Only slower.

I had a few questions that didn't really get answered, some I'm okay with not knowing. But seriously how did they get around that 1 week a month thing. There was never any mention that Edward avoided her especially during any time. Maybe it wasn't a necessary detail, but he's a vampire, it presents a problem. So I'm left wondering.

It's funny, I've got my Dad reading them. To be able to talk about something ,like this, with him is a new thing. It was always my younger sister that could relate to him on movies and books, not me. It is so hard to talk to him without giving stuff away. I kind of feel like I just read one huge book broken down into easier to carry chapters, it's hard to separate what I learned in each book.

Great story. Great Author. I'm excited to check out the Host.

Still Reading

And I seriously can't stop. Nor do I want to.

I finished this yesterday. Not bad considering I bought it Friday.
And I'm more than half way through this (I'm on p. 428). I bought it Saturday at Costco.

All things considered, I'm really glad I am a fast reader with speedy comprehension skills and that I waited until the last book was out to start reading the saga. I probably would have gone nuts waiting so long to read the next book.

There are things about the story that puzzle me but I'll wait until I'm finished to see if they are resolved.

I've been reading

And avoiding laundry to do so. Okay not completely. But enough that I now have a large pile to fold and another large pile to wash.
And this is the book I couldn't put down.

I loved it. And that is saying a lot, because as my sister can attest I'm not one for 'science fiction'. I'm so behind. I usually am, especially on books. I wait until everyone I know says they are good before I crack the spine (figuratively speaking, that term hurts Megan's ears) I am on page 50 of the first Harry Potter book. Indefinitely.

I have 3 more of the twilight books to read before I see my cousins next month. They'll be talking about nothing else and I don't want them to ruin the surprise.
