oh no... there's a name for what i am

okay, yeah.... so i'm a twi-mom.

i'm not ashamed. or, maybe i am just a little.

needing something to get me through the three hour flight home, i picked up the first twilight novel in the albuquerque airport.

i had seen movie, and enjoyed it. though the novel was very similar to the movie... i found it much more intriguing. so, i picked up the second novel in the austin airport.

i read it that evening... unable to put it down.

it's not the norm for me to stay up past 10 pm at the latest. however, i couldn't go to sleep. i couldn't believe it when the clock read 5 am, as i finished 'new moon', and turned out the light. i fell in love with the characters.

it's written in first person narrative, so i believe that is why, as a reader, i was able to relate to the main character, bella. i'm not sure though, if i were a teen, i would have been able to feel what i felt while reading it.

maybe teens now-a-days are ready for this. but i would not have been.

besides the fun and mystical aspect of the supernatural... the romance is beyond anything i've ever read. yes, austenites.... even jane wasn't able to provoke the same raw gut wrenching emotions.

the next day i purchased the the final two books and had completed the entire saga by the end of the week. the second and fourth book are my favorites.

book one - twilight - is a prelude... getting to know the characters and relationship development

book two - new moon - is beyond words.... a heart breaking tear jerker

book three - eclipse - is more plot development

and book four - breaking dawn - is the ultimate ending. i cried tears of joy. okay, i sobbed. jerking.. violent... sobs.

really, i did.

don't shake your head at me... you don't know.

so. needless to say i am quite impressed with the author and wait in anxious anticipation with all the tweens for the release of the movie sequel.
