Mamie, that was excellent ... I'm impatiently waiting until Amazon delivers my Breaking Dawn early next week. Or I may camp out Friday night to pick up a copy.

My niece, who's almost 14, got into them and while we were there, my daughter, who's 22, decided to read it and ended up going and buying all the books. She plans on going Saturday morning to get the new one. They are written very simply but it's a lovely love story.

Sure is ... I've read a couple of interviews with her that she did at comic-con, and I can't wait to read the last one. I've got to get Hosts, too.

That is so funny...my daughter was just talking about the "Twilight" books last night! She was telling how this little town of Forks, WA has become this tourist draw. Believe me there is nothing in Forks. I am not a big romance reader but guess I will have to read these and see what makes the series so popular. They aren't Danielle Steelish are they?

I finished New Moon. I enjoyed it. I know that the Edward fans were upset that he didn't appear until almost the end but I like her relationship with Jacob. I'm going to start Eclipse now.

I'm reading Suzanne Brockmann's newest, Into the Fire. Have barely gotten into it, but usually I love her stuff. In fact, when I was visiting friends in Hawaii I was telling them of my Navy Seals obsession as a result of reading her books (the Seals train in Hawaii in the water behind these friend's house.) A series of weird misunderstandings happened (on my part) resulting in everyone beginning to make seal noises for the rest of the trip anytime anyone was slow on the uptake. Now my friends are all giving me stuffed seals as a tribute to my cluelessness. Hmmmm.... maybe I will start naming them after Team 16!

Interesting...I'm on the third book of the Twilight novels as well. It's my wife's fault.

Twilight Movie http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie/258171/twilight?clipid=35448 I get an almost toned down Anne Rice vibe reading this series. I loved the Vampire Chronicles.

Do you know ... I've not read any of the Vampire Chronicles. Guess I'll have to add them to my list.

Oh, I love Anne Rice! Especially the Vampire books. So if these books are sort of like her's I guess I should check them out. I'm guessing they aren't romance novels for Nick to be reading them. LOL

It's not as dark as Anne Rice, but I do find some similarities....and they're not romance novels in the traditional sense of the word.

I stayed up late and finished it last night. It's all leading up to the final book. The main heart of the book is the love story between Edward and Bella but there is so much more. Vampires, werewolves, lots of fighting and high school angst all rolled up into one book! LOL

When they are done I am going to read them all over again. I know there are new one's coming out and I need to pick up the outlandish companion too.

I've been reading Jodi Picoult's books. I love her writing. I had read about her on this site, but for some reason never did read one of her books before this summer. I'm glad I did!

Kat, she's got some good ones. A few of them, I wasn't in love with, but for the most part, good books. My Sister's Keeper is my favorite.

I started one of Jodi Picoult's books onetime and it was about child abuse and I just couldn't read it and haven't read anything else of hers because I feel like I will be depressed and sad. Is that a valid assumption?

Ladytex I am having to watch myself because I just want to sit and read this one all night long, which wouldn't work since I am in my busy season at work and need to be alert. Hopefully this weekend I can knock it out. Though I will say some of her books do get violent...but that is the reality in the life of a SEAL. I love the blend of suspense and romance. And I always love it when characters recur throughout books. I feel like I live in their community.
