I love a book that stretches beyond what is normal reality but explains it in a way that it could be true and happen today. Such as time travel, Angels, etc. Not usually Aliens but if it's not gross and gory then I'll give it a shot, I love E.T. These books definitely do that with Vampires and Werewolves, you really start to think there could possibly be Vampires living among us in secret!
So once I read the first book, I went onto the next which wasn't as good, harder to get through the middle although I liked how she put the name of each month on each page, as you turned you felt like the time really passed, instead of just saying, "6 months later..." She does a few things like this in her books that are new and refreshing. The second book New Moon picked up at the end and finally I had to read the next one!
The 3rd book was Eclipse, also a good fast read, I had it read in less than a week over 600 pages. By then it was Wednesday and the last book was coming out on Friday! I picked the perfect time, no waiting months for the next one. So then I decided to do something else I have never done, go to a midnight release party for the book. I pre ordered it and the day of the party you were supposed to go to Barnes and Noble to get a bracelet for your place in line to get your copy. I had to many kids to fit in my car that day so Jarin was sweet and decided to go get one for me before work. He got there and couldn't believe how long the line was, it was from the Barnes and Noble on the corner past the TJ Max, Lane Bryant, Old Navy, Dress Barn, Payless shoes, Maytag, Famous Footwear, Bath and Body and down to the Roberts!!! It was to long for him to wait so he went back at lunch and got one, #700-725! It was only my back up plan, I planned to go to the party then run up to Walmart when they kicked everyone out at 11:00 and wait in a much shorter line and pay less, which is what I did, it was great!
Before the line up at the party there would be games, and Edward and Bella characters ( the main characters of the books) dressed in wedding clothes that you could take pictures with. I just took a picture of them though.
Not like I pictured them at all but he has a good devilish grin!
I couldn't believe how many people were there and how many I knew! After I got my book at Walmart by 12:01AM and then check out a few minutes later, i decided to get myself a Wendy's Frosty and really quick run down to check out how much longer I would have waited, they were still lined up to the Old Navy at 12:35AM!! I talked to a friend and from what she said I would have gotten my book about 1:20 AM!
I stayed up reading til 5:00 AM!
*****Update*****
I finished the book on Wednesday afternoon, probably would have been sooner but I had to clean the house and make a birthday cake for CarliAnn, I wish it would have lasted longer though. Aside from a few parts that were a bit drawn out I really enjoyed the read!!
