(Disclaimer - Id like to say something charming, witty or interesting to begin my blogging adventures - but that doesn't seem to be happening. Should be okay though, I'm a pro at rough starts.)
Ive either clearly lost my mind - or jumped on the bandwagon because it actually IS an amazing thing. Yesterday I ordered the Twilight book series online and am SO excited for them to arrive. Ive been reading about and hearing talk of these books for a few months now. Lately many of my friends and students have been reading them - but I did my usual thing and ignored all the hype. I have never been one to read what others are into (minus the occasional Nicholas Sparks) - but this time I cannot resist. I went with friends Wednesday morning to see the movie version of Twilight and I fell in love. My best friend will spend hours arguing that the movie is not good - because shes basing her judgement on having read the book which we all know will ALWAYS be better than the movie version of anything. But having not read the book yet - I can honestly say I believe almost anyone would love the movie. They pulled it off stunningly and whats better - the movie left me only wanting to know MORE about the characters - which is a perfect plan - the best way to get non-readers to spend the money or venture out to rent the book is leave them needing more information. I cannot wait to get the pages in my hands that will answer all the questions Ive been left wondering about. Ill let you know how it goes - But right now I'm just enjoying looking forward to being lost in this story - Books that actually carry you away and steal your heart are so amazing and rare - and I feel this series is going to that fit that need perfectly. I need a good love story in my life right now....
