I "Heart" Edward Cullen

After many of my friends have so enthusiastically recommended the 'Twilight' series to me, I finally found some time to begin. Stephen was leaving for a business trip to New York, so his new competition for my attention is a complete shock. And I'm glad I found some time to really clear my schedule, because I started 'Twilight' Sunday morning and finished 'Eclipse' by 3:00 am Tuesday morning...I know nuts! Then I scoured the author's site and was relieved to see another book coming out and a retelling of Twilight from Edward's perspective coming out. It's sort of like a drug, I want to know more. I enthusiastically recommend the books to anyone. Besides the fact that I share a name with the most petty character in the book, I found the books...addicting.

Personally, I don't think the series can end until Bella is officially no longer vulnerable...and sometimes I wonder if that will ever happen. I guess that just means many more books to come (Hooray!).

yay i'm glad you read it! I have dreams about Edward :D. The author actually stated that this fourth book that is coming next year is her last in this series...tear!! :)

I LOOOVVE this series. My husband came running out of the kitchen with ketchup in his mouth trying to get attention from me - he thought he looked like a vampire. :) My prediction (hope is) is Edward will find a way to become human, that way they can grow old together and be together!

Wow- you were reading like a mad woman!! I know they are good books, and we all read them fast, but I think you might have set a record!! Wish you were going to be at book club so we could discuss Edward and why we love him! ;)

lauren! hey there. by the way, congratulations on your move and new home! isn't wonderful? i just finished the twilight series last night and loved it too! it took me a little over one week to read them, but that is nothing compared to you. i hope the same way debbi stated on her comment, that edward can become human again. maybe that will be bella's special talent :). hope you are doing well.

I'm laughing so hard!! You cruised through those books. And I thought "I heart Edward Cullen" but I think you've won that title now.

I just keep remembering my mantra with each new book.........."Just bite her already!!!"

So fun! Wish you could be here for bookclub!!
