Yeah...I know, I have to admit I was probably the BIGGEST Twilight basher ever. Everytime someone brought it up you could actually HEAR my eyes roll. Then I would go into how stupid I thought the series was and just how ridiculous everyone around me was being for even thinking about picking up those books. Well, "those" books have become my best friends since I went on bed rest.
A friend of mine loaned them to me knowing I would roll my eyes at the very thought of picking them up but promised me if I did actually read them, I would be in for a good time. I counseled with my older sister as well hoping she would totally turn me off to the horrible of idea of reading them but she then confessed to me that she had felt the same way but ended up reading them and loving them.
After being driven mad by boredness on bed rest, I did it, I read Twilight. I will admit that after reading about 5 chapters I was bored to death and decided it was okay to watch the movie before finishing. Joe and I thought the movie was hokey and really didn't wet the vampire appetite but for some reason I continued reading the book. And I was pleasantly surprised! The book was MUCH better than the movie and I am currently reading Breaking Dawn. My favorite thus far is Eclispe...they should have made that one the movie, jeez. I will say that Edward has to be my favorite, not for "crush" reasons but because he makes the most sense out of everything. I hate Jacob...ugh. Can't stand it whenever he comes into the picture so I'm not too excited about all of the content in Breaking Dawn but I'll deal with it.
All in all, its a good book and I'll apoligize for my rude behavior prior to reading the series. Good, clean, fun books. Thanks for the entertainment! :D

The books are way better. I jumped on the wagon late too but I really loved the books as well. But my confession is...I liked the movie!
loved this post .. cause it's so true - good on ya for coming out of the closet. You are much braver than I - so thanks for ratting me out! j/k ..
The movie was really really cheesy.. books rocked though!!!
I have to say Natalie, I am so PROUD of you. Thank you for joining the force of vocal and not so vocal Twilight readers. I have other good books to read after this series. This series saved my sanity with Jack Jack after he was born. And on that note, sorry I haven't been over, for one reason or another, I totally am a crappy friend and haven't seen the baby. Please forgive me and know that I love you guys and think of you often. Can't wait to see you skinny and not great with child.
lol--you are so funny. I was the same way about the first book, but then I got hooked. I hear that there is suppose to be a different director for the next movie. Hopefully he will do a much better job!
hilarious. I too, was the same way. But, read the first, then second and I was hooked. Now I have read all 4, have all 4 on my IPOD and own the movie. Totally rediculous, I know. I actually loved Jacob though. Funny how the different characters grow on different people... I was on team Jacob til the end of book 3...
