i realized that i haven't updated for so long! a week and a half is a long time for me! one of the many reasons it has taken me a while is this new book by stephenie meyer. this is one of my all time favorite reads in my life, seriously. right up there with harry potter. like jk rowling, stephenie meyer makes you fall in love with the characters in a way that makes you feel like the characters are your best friends. both books i mentioned are in the young adult section of the book store, maybe i still secretly wish i was a teenager or something (not really, but sometimes!) this book is all about a girl named, bella who moves from phoenix to a small town in oregon, forks. she moves in with her dad and doesn't expect to find anything remotely interesting in forks. it rains all the time, and it's a small town. well, she meets a boy named edward, falls in love, and realizes he is a vampire. that's all i'm going to say besides...READ IT. it will suck you in! i love this quote by paul sweeney, "You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend." i literally dreaded the last chapter of twilight because that meant it would be over. luckily the second of the series, new moon, is out right now too (i read it in two days...i know, i didn't get anything else done!) the third one comes out in august, and the fourth in fall 2008...i can't wait. i feel like bella and edward are my friends...stephenie meyer is amazing and inspiring to me as a writer.

I love a good book. I will have to get this one once I am done with the one I am reading.
I'll have to try it then! That is a good quote, I get that feeling at the end of each Harry Potter and lots of others too!
Hi....I'm Lacey, friend of Heidi's. Saw your blog and thought I'd come look. Came on the right day....going to the Eclipse Prom with some girlfriends on Saturday night. Stephenie is going to read the 1st chapter of the 3rd book at the prom! So excited...if you want a spoiler go to Barnes and Nobles..they have republished "New Moon" with the first chapter of "Eclipse" already in it! It's to die for! Love these books..could reread Twilight over and over again! I've sucked some friends into these books too! ;) Can't wait till August 7th!
It was one of our bookclub selections this year & the only one I didn't have time to read...but with your recommendation I am going to read it for sure
Hey Lara - It's Lynsey Evans (friends with Jen Jarvis and Nicole Cronin). Jen and Nicole both told me blogged about this book. I'm the crazy friend who has been telling everyone to read it! I'm glad someone else feels the same way. It totally makes me wish I were back in high school and makes me laugh that I have a crush on a vampire. I agree 100% - GREAT book!
I'm always looking for a good book. TFS!

I loved the book too! I actually hosted a book club at my house and that was the book I chose. I was kinda nervous to see if the other women would like it as much as I did. It went over great, in fact, many went on to read the second one even before we meet together. I am so glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. I cant wait for the third one. We should get Erica and whoever else in town to read it and all get together for our own little book club. love Shawneen
