Peer Pressure

I promised myself I wouldn't give in to the temptation. I promised myself that I wouldn't follow the crowd. But I have given in...I have followed the crowd...and I am addicted.

I couldn't help it really. Everywhere I turned, everyone I talked to, increased my curiosity. I was surrounded by the influence.

So needless to say I am now one of the thousands of people who have read "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer and have become... obsessed!

My sister -in -law was actually the one who sealed the deal for me. They were in town a couple weeks ago and asked me if I had heard of the twilight series. I told her "yes, practically everyone I know has read them." She proceeded to tell me how good the books are. In fact, even her husband...my 29 year old "macho" brother had read the first one. I was shocked. The first thing I could think was "what the....". This eventually made me realize maybe everyone was right. Maybe these books are this new kind of phenomena, and I should at least give in to my curiosity. Which was, by now, driving me crazy.

So my husband bought me the first book as an anniversary present. He doesn't fully understand what all the hype is about. It was however, very sweet that he helped me give in to my temptation...so we are in this together...sort of.

I finished the book in less than 15 hours. Never have I ever read a 500+ page book that quickly. Never had I ever been that enveloped in a novel before. It totally sucked me in and I couldn't get enough of it...Like I said, I am addicted. So much so that I made my husband try to tract down the sequel "New Moon", at a half priced book store near our house, right after I finished reading twilight.

To my dismay the book store didn't have a copy, and by then Borders had already closed for the evening. So now I am hanging by a thread, dying to find out what happens next. Hopefully I won't have to wait much longer. I am going out soon to track down "the goods."

Seriously pathetic!?! Yep I know.
