I’m not sure this is the best way to deal with my disappointment…

I’m kind of on the fence about these. They are addicting, but my circle of friends would not approve. I’ll read them anyway. I just returned from a vay-cay in Washington State. My sister’s friend came along and made the trek up to Forks, Washington to see all the sites. It was her Mecca.
jenboglasss last blog post..The Friday Five
I am not a really a “Fan” (Um, I could buy vampires and warewoves running around Forks, Washington but no WAY will I buy that a 90-year-old would willingly hang out perpetually with teenagers in high school for eternity. No matter how good looking he is or how much he glistens in the sun.)but I’m on the last book and want to see how she finishes it.
I have a feeling everything is going to tie up into a tidy little package.
Which is TOTALLY how life is, right?
Did you hear that whatever book in the series that she’s working on now was leaked and now she’s not going to release it anymore?
I keep hearing about these things, I believe I need to pick one up. I hate being out of the loop.
Marias last blog post..Say it with me now – “Homophobic”. And now – “Stereotypical”. Or maybe just “Ignorant.”
TOTALLY READ ‘EM. And only a little bit ashamed to admit it!
Yep, I’ll be at the movie too. The only 30-something there SANS pre-teen daughter. Maybe I’ll just buy the super jumbo popcorn and hide behind it.
HeatherPrides last blog post..I’m Pretty Sure This is Why the Internet Was Created
No idea why I was compelled to read all four…but I was. I found Bella annoying, and to the extent I chose at all, I liked Jacob much better than Edward. I was interested enough to want to know how it all resolved. And mildly annoyed with myself for being interested.
And I’ll see the movie, no question…also just because I’m curious how they’ll put it together.
I got sucked in to these. Not exactly great literature, but a fun read. Enjoy!
Fear and Parenting in Las Vegass last blog post..This blog will be temporarily interrupted…
So funny! I read them too, and even posted about Twilight today. What are the chances?
The writing? Crap. The story? Annoying. Edward? The worst case of PMS ever. Seriously, how much can he whine? And Bella with the whole “how can he love me, he’s so dreamy” nonsense got on my nerves. So, why do I keep reading? To mock it, of course!
And I’m sorry, but is Edward a 100 year old virgin?
Marinkas last blog post..Questions
have heard all the buzz about how great they are, but that kind of kills my interest in them.
However, have recently discovered Tasha Alexander and her 3 books about Lady Emily Ashton (no they aren’t cheesy romance novels) think Jane Austen meets Sherlock Holmes. SUPER good read!
your readers give me hope that the whole world isn’t blind to miz meyer’s abysmal books :-)
DUDE. This book is NEVER GOING TO END I SWEAR.
GAH!
I should just throw it away and yet here I sit reading passage after passage getting more irritated and nauseated word by word, twist by twist. She really is going to tie this up in a very pretty package complete with a very shiny bow, isn’t she?
How convenient for everybody.
I’m still going to finish it, though.
What can I say?
I am weak.
BLECK.
I…am…so…disappointed…seriously??? Did you REALLY??? We really need to get that picture of you and Toph. Make sure you bring that book tonight…
Speaking of tonight…THIS IS IT!! Are you excited? Because I’ll be honest, I am. hehe. I need a new “phase” to go through. Love much, see you tonight!
little reds last blog post..A BEDTIME STORY
Y’know, I read all of these and I’m a guy. I’m not ashamed to admit it either. I respect the fact that Stephanie Meyer is an up-and-coming author who tells her stories the way she wants. That aside, I could have definitely done without all the descriptions of Edward’s perfectly sculpted body, glistening in the sunlight, his perfect eyes, his perfect mouth, etc. etc.
**VOMIT**
Still, I took them for what they were. She’s a beginning author, so I took that into account as well. Her writing did improve over the course of the series, even if the subject did not. She wrote girly stuff for girls, and on that account, she succeeded.
PS I hated the Jacob character. Sorry.
sovknights last blog post..A Disappointing Night at the Gallivan Center
I can’t seem to escape this Twilight stuff…even yesterday at the dentist’s…the author was on the cover of the only magazine left to read.
Maybe it’s a sign.
The Over-Thinkers last blog post..Figuratively Mark Your Figurative Calendars!
I must be missing something. I’m going to have to catch up with these books. As soon as I finish “Inkheart”.
lceel ‘Uncle Lou’s last blog post..Friday Haiku – Astro-naught
Not reading comments as I don’t want a spoiler….thinking of reading this series. But when I read I do nothing else….oh well.
Domestic Extraordinaires last blog post..100th post
I’ve read those. they are alright.
Reading in general though… that is my true escape from anything disappointing or depressing or just downright overwhelming. It’s a way to escape your own life for a while and live someone else’s without all the dire consequences that would involve in real life… if you know what I mean :)
Book therapy = good
Am I the only person that hasn’t picked this book up yet. Sigh.
denise @ EatPlayLoves last blog post..How To Be The Best Wife Ever…
It’s times like these that I am thankful I have testicles…they prevent me from picking up dreck like this.
Thank you, testicles!
Froyds last blog post..every guy
It is the VERY BEST way, I think. I’m already done with all 4 sooooo I’m just jealous.
Kimberlys last blog post..I Bridge You Not
I started the third book last night.
(shhhh. Don’t tell anyone.)
maggie, dammits last blog post..Gustav
LOL. Losing yourself in some mindless fiction is always a good way to deal! Though I have to admit I am pretty surprised you’re a Jacob girl!!
pgoodnesss last blog post..NOW I’m getting stressed(*edited)
Oh man. I’m so glad I’m not the only one.
(I love them but they’re so dummmmmmmmb.)
Marias last blog post..It’s a technical term.
I recently started the twilight series, because I was so curious about what all of the fuss was about. I am now oddly addicted. I sort of hate it, but I can’t put it down.
Shamelessly Sassys last blog post..We be Nebulizin’
And by can’t put it down..I meant that I started the 3rd book yesterday. I am clearly ill.
Shamelessly Sassys last blog post..We be Nebulizin’
Do you SEE? Do you see now what I went through? The Twilight Drinking Game was NO JOKE.

Welcome to the cult, sweetie. :-)
Ambers last blog post..Let’s get P-O-L-I-T-I-C-A-L, POLITICAL, I wanna get POLITICALLLLL
Ahh…those books, as my husband calls them. The first one was quite good and they all went downhill from there, to the point where I didn’t even finish the last one. But, if it gets kids (or adults!) reading, who am I to judge?
NGSs last blog post..C25K – Week Four
I shamelessly stand up and admit that I love Edward Cullen!!!! Ok, yes… I know he’s not real… that this could never happen in real life, that someone who was 100 years old and still liked high school girls would be a certifiable pedofile…. ya… ya…. who cares?!!!! It’s fiction and I’m entitled to a little make- believe!
I actually HATED Jacob…. sorry, Loralee! (if it helps, I pictured you as Victoria- the psycho red-haired vampire with a vengeful blood mission!) :)?
Erin Taylors last blog post..Calling all husbands everywhere…
It might be, I heard that is a good book and it’s on a lot of my friend’s blog’s Shelfari’s. Oh boy.
