The obsession continues!

I received "Breaking Dawn" by Stephanie Meyer in the mail yesterday. I pre-ordered it in June and couldn't wait until it got here. This is the 4th book of the vampire series and the last one......sob sob. I am sure a lot of you out there have been counting down the days until Breaking Dawn was released. I'm usually not one of these people who are obsessed with books or movies and their release date. I got hooked very early on and love Stephanie Meyers' style of writing. I have to warn Lucas when I'm about to read a really good book, because nothing in the house gets done and everyone has to pretty much fend for themselves.

So, last night I began reading Breaking Dawn at 11pm. I was still reading at 1:30am. I couldn't put it down. It didn't take long to draw me back in and there is a very unexpected event that happens very early in the book. Wow! is all I can say. So, I am on page 146 and only 608 pages left to go. I don't want this saga to end, so I might just take my time. Yeah right :)

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about! I'm in on the Twilight obsession too! I told myself I was going to take my time with this one because it's the last one =( but it is TOO hard to put down!

I am so hearin' you right now! I also received my book in the mail on Tuesday and I have about 100 pages to go. Let me just say that it gets SO much better!!
Our poor husbands! I did try to warn Jess this time, but nothing ever seems to prepare him for one of Stephenie Meyer's books. She is by far my favorite author. I also loved The Host!!

Okay, I know I just commented but I finished the book last night too! I can't believe I was able to read a book that big in two days! I LOVED IT!! I think she did an amazing job covering EVERYTHING! I am so anxious to talk to someone else that has finished but don't want to post any spoilers online. Anyway, if you haven't read her book The Host yet, you should check it out.

I am so excited to start reading it if I wasn't such a dork I would have eclipse finished by now. My book is just sitting there. I also love the firefighter pictures of Gavin, so cute!

These are seriously the hardest books to put down! I even got Daniel to read them because I was literally glued to them last Fall...the 4th one was just as hard to put down! It makes me happy to know that so many others are obsessed too!

It looks like you guys have been busy this summer. We need to get out to Las Vegas to see you guys. Stacy also loves the Twilight series. When the new book came out it seems like I'm watching the kids more than usual.

Yeah, Twilight, good stuff, Jared actually read them before I did because of the influence of his co-workers. And since they were just sitting on the shelf, I broke down and read them. I was kind of reluctant to jump on the bandwagon, but I'm glad I did. Breaking Dawn was good, but I had a few issues with it.

So...we need to have the Abbotts over. Lucas and Jared keep talking about it, but stuff keeps getting in the way. Our schedule is usually pretty open, so anytime should be fine. Pick a day and give us a call. If it's easier for Mandy to plan, she can call me! (I won't post my whole number here, but it's close to Jared's except the last four digits are 2348.)
