Great post Lisa. I read the first book and enjoyed it. I don't know what to say about someone thinking it is satanic. I don't. I like Halloween too so what can I say.

Oh Frances, you're going to have a wonderful Twilight Holiday! lol I can't wait to read your thoughts about the books. As an almost 39 year old, I can say that these books aren't just for teens. I don't post much and have tired from BB, however knowing where all you wonderful women (and men) originated (cryptic, i know) Twilight would be a book you all were destined to read!

Here's to hoping Edward dazzles all of you as he's dazzled me~

In my opinion, these books are very romantic with only descriptions of emotions which allow your imagination to flow. What a wonderful gift....the imagination. I agree that it shows girls what a young man can be. And I also agree with Lisa that no young man will live up to "Edward" but he has 100+ years experience, lol. I read the first 3 books in three days and could hardly wait for the 4th book. I hated to see the saga end. Theauthor is writing a book called "Midnight" which is the book Twilight told from Edward's point of view while Twilight was from Bella's point of view.

Thanks, all of you. I can't wait until I can cut and paste some of your responses for my daughter. I just finished Twilight and will pass it on to my granddaughters. I'm certain my daughter will get mad at me, but oh well. I do not believe in censorship of books like this. I will buy the second book in the series as soon as I get home.

Thanks again.

I just finished Jack & Jill by James Patterson.

It's about Serial Murders, it's the third in the series of the Alex Cross Murder books.

I enjoyed it, moving on to a few Christmas books.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I received the Twilight Boxed set and the True Blood Boxed set books for Christmas. I'm waltzing around the room doing a Snoopy Dance!

I can't believe how blessed I am.

I'm currently reading the 3rd book in the Twilight series. I am certain you will love it.

Happy reading!

Frances, My daughter has read the first 3 books since school break started on the 19th. I cant get her out of her room.

I think you will enjoy them

Okay...I'll bite. I'm going to order the set. Since I love HP and even purchased, as an heirloom (was my rationalization haha) Tales of the Beedle Bard, I'll jump into another series. Too bad there are only four books though. I'm totally ready to become addicted to another saga LOL

Lori, I think you would like the Twilight books. I read the first 3 in 3 days....just couldn't put them down.

I read Twilight and I loved it. I plan on reading the other books in this series. The character of Edward is so sexy. I went to see the movie the first night it opened and really enjoyed it.

I just finished the cutest book. Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World



One frigid Midwestern winter night in 1988, a ginger kitten was shoved into the after-hours book-return slot at the public library in Spencer, Iowa. And in this tender story, Myron, the library director, tells of the impact the cat, named DeweyReadmore Books, had on the library and its patrons, and on Myron herself. Through her developing relationship with the feline, Myron recounts the economic and social history of Spencer as well as her own success story—despite an alcoholic husband, living on welfare, and health problems ranging from the difficult birth of her daughter, Jodi, to breast cancer. After her divorce, Myron graduated college (the first in her family) and stumbled into a library job. She quickly rose to become director, realizing early on that this was a job I could love for the rest of my life. Dewey, meanwhile, brings disabled children out of their shells, invites businessmen to pet him with one hand while holding the Wall Street Journal with the other, eats rubber bands and becomes a media darling. The book is not only a tribute to a cat—anthropomorphized to a degree that can strain credulity (Dewey plays hide and seek with Myron, can read her thoughts, is mortified by his hair balls)—it's a love letter to libraries.

There is a movie in the works about Dewey also. Good read. Not far from where I live. Spencer has one of the best county fairs in the country.

I was thinking while reading the book Granny, it would make a great movie!

Well, I read Twilight, New Moon and started Eclipse but another depression has a strong hold on me and I haven't been able to read for the last two weeks.

What I can tell you is that I love these books and they are in my top favorites list. I'm a bit angry that with all the feelings I feel and I feel on a grand scale, I couldn't have written something similar. It's hard to explain but once you get to know me you would understand what I'm trying to convey.

Keep reading wonderful boardmates!

I've been trying to catch up on some reading. Has anyone read "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"? I read it last night and today, I woke up still sad.
