Yeah, I know, I’m behind a bit in reading trends.

On Sunday, I was able to drop the kids off at my mothers for a coupla hours. Hubby was sick, so this was the first break I had all weekend. Not enough time to see a movie. And we’re not in a place where I could just go shopping.

So I hit CVS, and they had Twilight. I had read the first coupla pages, then decided to buy it. Then I went to Jerry’s Subs and had a meal and a book.

The writing was good enough, but the characters were what kept me reading. A clutzy high school girl. An unbelievably good looking guy. Enough sarcasm to make the characters seem real.

I finished the book on Monday. And of course, read the New Moon teaser, and immediately wanted to get the rest of the books. It was all I could do not to jump on Amazon and order the rest – see above for the shopping avoidance idea.

So, now I see what all the fuss is about. If the other books are as well written as this one, Stephanie Meyer will have earned all her money.
