swellmomma Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Not to start Twilight at almost midnight?? I started this book last night, and at 4:30am had to force myself to put it down and get a little sleep. ANd then I dreamed of the characters. I have not gotten this engrossed in a story since reading the Outlander series. I am already feeling sad that I only have the first 2 books here and am trying to figure out if I can buy the 3rd one this week, because at this rate I will be done the series by Friday!

E_Edgerton Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I feel the pressure mounting to read these books. It is coming from every direction...but I will take your advice and start them on a lazy afternoon, not before bed!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 That is funny! I started after midnight, too! But Eastern time zone, after hockey, after the beginning of SNL (which was aaaaawwwwwfuuuullllll)! I only read a few pages though. My dd has all the books. Too bad you're so far away. I'd lend you #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Gosh, I could warn you of so many things with this series. I am amazed you did put it down. I didn't. Nor did I put down New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn. I read them back to back, cover to cover, in 3 days. Then I was sad and literally depressed for a WEEK because the emotional connection you make with the characters is just amazing. I am not kidding. These books are addictive in a scary sort of way. My best advice is to slow down, don't get sucked in full force, and remember Edward is NOT REAL. It helps. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyWImom Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 When I'm reading one of them at night, I have to sneak out into another room, because I don't want dh to know how late I'm up until-he just doesn't get it!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 :lol: Ruined mine too when I found out! I just wish someone had told me that when *I* started reading the books. This is about how I imagined that first kiss....well, maybe without the 5 o'clock shadow Rob has there...but otherwise *melt, gush, DROOL* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyWImom Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I think my dh is worried for my sanity! It's one of those "Men are From Mars" things. Perhaps it's best to keep the whole thing to ourselves if possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yeah,Twilight is surprising. At first glance, you would think it is just a silly teen book, like it should be called "Saved by the Bell: the Vampire years". :D Instead it is rather intense and gripping. Funny how many fans are a long way from their teenage years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Funny you should mention that it is like is should be for teens. Before I started reading it, I suggested it for book club to be told, that they were shocked I would suggest a book made for teens. Hehe, they don't know what they are missing. I am almost done twilight now, I have been reading a few chapters, then do a bit of of my housework then back at it. Of course now with baby napping and all 3 big kids outside playing in what appears to a spring like day, I may ditch the housework and read for her whole nap. I also didn't realize there was a 4th book to the set, yikes, my house will not get properly cleaned all week. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hmmm, maybe i should have slowed down. I finished Eclipse last night. So much for being done by Friday, here is it Tuesday and I am mad because I do not have breaking dawn yet and want to keep reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana in OR Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 What I did was only read when I was on my elliptical trainer. Amazing how quickly and hour of working out would go by before I even realized it! I did have to exercise (sorry for the pun) some restraint, and *only* would read on the elliptical. It was a great motivator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clane Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) What I did was only read when I was on my elliptical trainer. Amazing how quickly and hour of working out would go by before I even realized it! I did have to exercise (sorry for the pun) some restraint, and *only* would read on the elliptical. It was a great motivator. That is definitely one way to get a workout. Even *I* would work out if it were the only way to get my reading time in. I read the first three books back to back and then had to wait for Breaking Dawn. A local group of us moms made an evening out of dinner and the midnight book release party. Then I read until 6am, up at 9 to fix breakfast and back to reading. A quick break for lunch and I was done before dinner.
