I got it and I am afraid!

Some of you have already been involved in this phenomena, others of you will think I am crazy. I am now going to read a Vampire book, no a series of them.

As you may already know, there is a craze sweeping the nation. It is the TWILIGHT series of books by Stephanie Meyer. I have been told by several people, of all different walks, to go for it.

I hesitated and thought, WHATEVER! But, after going to the gym last week and seeing 4 people with varies editions while they were working out and then seeing the author herself on CBS Sunday Morning I realized I do not want to be left out of this or miss a good one. I never read Harry Potter and may someday do it, but I feel I am an outsider at times with that one. I do not want that again!

I think the author is totally cool. She dreamt the story and starting writing with no real intention of publishing it. Read the story on the link above for the show. She also said that if it goes away, it is ok, she was happy before the books and will be happy after.

WOW!

But then there is the whole Vampire thing....how silly is that for a 45 year old woman to even go there.....we will see. I have friends who stop their lives to finish the books....they neglect kids, sleep, dishes, pets, bathing even to get to the next chapter or even the next book. I will say the people reading while on the bikes at the gym were really riding fast and furious....I think that will be my plan...read till I fall off the bike!!!

So here goes. I bought the first two books at SAMS yesterday. I have one other book to finish this week/weekend and then I will begin. If nothing else, I can sit in my new empty house alone and read about Vampires! What a scary thought actually. Maybe I will read here in my tiny and yucky apartment instead....no, I will go to the Gym and read on the bike!!!! Yes, the bike!
