i am one of the crazies!

okay, i like to read. LOVE to read actually, and i read books to relax or wind down or just for fun. my husband teases me that when i find a good book i have a hard time putting it down. but i have to say, i can't think of any book that has grabbed my attention as much as Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. i'm not kidding - i started reading it after the kids went to bed one night, and didn't go to sleep until i was finished! this is not a small book either - 500 pages. and in the back, there's an excerpt from the sequel New Moon, so of course what did i do in the morning? rush right over to barnes and noble and buy the second one. again, i started almost instantly. luckily my kids took a good nap that day and i was able to read during that. i did have to pause to eat dinner, but went immediately back to reading and finished the same night again. unfortunately, there was another excerpt from the 3rd book Eclipse, but its NOT OUT YET!! it comes out august 7th. so to occupy my time, i read the first two over again - each in one day again - and still loved them!

i don't want to tell you what they're about, and if you read a description or the back - don't be deterred because of the subject, i waiting until i heard from about 5 different people before i finally said "okay, i'll try it out" thinking i probably wouldn't like it.

i used to laugh about my mom and other people waiting in line to get the new harry potter release, putting countdowns on their blog and everything - so i had to put one on. its to make fun of myself, and also to really see the countdown because I AM DYING! i will be there tuesday morning while i'm on vacation picking it up :)
