Last October (08), while LuvBug was recouping from a tonsillectomy, I was introduced to Edward. And Bella...BUT mostly Edward.
For those of you who have been under a rock, Yes, I am talking about Twilight.
I read A LOT....lots of Chic Lit...Nothing serious...Fun Brainless Reads.... I have always been an avid reader. I love to read series of books, like the Shopaholic series. I like to read all of one writers books before I move onto a new author. I am weird...I KNOW!! But, in all of my reading, I have never reread the same author's books more than I have reread the Twilight Saga.
I totally got SUCKED IN....NO, I do not have posters in my closet, or wear the t-shirts, BUT I am an addicted!!! I have read all 4 books about 4 or 5 times. I keep them on the book shelf and whenHubby is watching Nascar nothing good is on TV, I grab any one of the books and start reading.
I just finished rereading Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I forget how FUNNY Jacob is and the 'soap opera' surrounding the wolves. I laugh, cry, and fall in love with the characters all over again. Sometimes I sympathize with Bella and sometimes I am completely annoyed with her. Sometimes I am totally 'Team Edward', other times I waiver and slip over to 'Team Jacob'.
Last November, a group of friends and I, went to the midnight showing of Twilight. It was a BLAST!! I had so much fun with my friends and enjoyed the movie...I had, had several Mojitos..but hay...I got to look at a pretty boy all night!!
While re watching the movie, I noticed how cheesy it was portrayed. Seriously lacking in the acting/directing department...I have watched it SEVERAL more times...just to see if I was being prejudices because I love the books so much. I am torn..not really sure!!
I hope that New Moon is better and I really hope that they can pull it off. It is so hard to recreate a 500 page book into a 1.5 hr movie. We all have our favorite scenes, and we picture the characters a certain way. We as a culture have LOVED Edward, Bella, and Jacob for so long...They have become part of our fantasy worlds....No one can ever turn our individual fantasies into real life movies....
I have no real point to this post...just blabbing about my addiction to Edward...oh, okay...The Twilight Saga....
