Re: What did you think of the Twilight Series?

I just finished...30 seconds ago. I finished Breaking Dawn....
I only just discovered the Twilight Universe a little over a month ago (saw the movie when it came out on DVD). I didn't know anything about Twilight Saga--I am grateful for the movie because I may have never found the books if it weren't for the movie, but.....it left me wanting more.
As soon as I learned it was a book series I promptly ran out and bought EVERYTHING I could my hands on, OMG the books are SO much better!...Since that fateful day I have read Twilight 3 times, New Moon 2 times, Eclipse 2 times and finally this weekend I broke down and picked up BD--FOR THE FIRST TIME. It has been sitting here for a month, I was savoring it every time I walked by, knowing more story was coming. I just finished it.... I want to cry. Its over.
I kept putting off reading Breaking Dawn because I didn't want it to end! (What a series!!!) I mean seriously! I am completely captivated! I loved them! I have to believe it isn't over. It can't be. There are so many story possibilities.
I am happy too though....because they were SO good. So unbelievably good. My daughter is now reading them (nearly 12) I wanted to read them first (cause of the whole vampire thing, lol, wanted to be sure they were ok, which HELLO, more than ok!!!) and now I can share them with her, which is good, cause it won't feel over....but it is...
So now what? I am an avid reader. (How I missed these books when they first came out is beyond me). I blow threw 700 page books like they are pop ups, I can't seem to move forward though. I am stuck. I have a HUGE problem now....I DON'T WANT TO READ ANYTHING ELSE!!!
Stephenie Meyer, if you read here. Thank you. I am going through some crazy crap in my real life and it has been SO much fun to step into the world you created for a while...a world where you aren't defined by the hand you have been dealt! A place where we are reminded that we can beat the monsters that rage (or in most cases, whisper) inside us all by denying ourselves and our tendency to be selfish and instead exercise shear determination to do the right thing. Twilight Saga is a world where love conquers all and life is precious, worth cherishing and even vampires and werevolves (shape shifters )can get a long if they just try.
Also, thanks for introducing me to Muse (and Paramour), their music has totally motivated me to keep exercising each day! I have walked so many miles listening to the Twilight Soundtrack that if I was walking in a straight line from my Southern California home I would probably be in New York by now, lol. It has all been a GREAT addition to my ipod!
