Well I have FINALLY finished Stephenie Meyer's vampire series by completing the epic (in length not skill) novel, Breaking Dawn. Coming in at a whopping 750 pages, it was a bit of a doozy. And it wouldn't have been so bad if it had been well written. I'm fairly certain they employed an average monkey to copy write this bad boy.
Anyhoo... there were some interesting twists, and I did enjoy it. Actually I enjoyed the whole series despite myself and my love of well written prose. Still, there was something that engaged me enough to deal with controlling Edward and co-dependent Bella for damn near 3,000 pages. Wait, is that right? It might be less. Sometimes it seemed closer to 5K. I'm not sure.
Also, call me crazy, but I will be going to see Twilight the movie on Sunday with my English teacher friends and our husbands. Are we crazy? I think I'm going to call it a desire to stay current in young adult lit books and to be able to have a compare and contrast convo with my kiddos. Yeah, that's it.

I might go to the matinee on Saturday. I'm wondering, is there a bigger following where you are considering that "Forks, WA" is in your state? ;)
I'm not sure what I'm comparing my kids to, but yes, it's absolutely huge here. The kids are making the trek to Forks for the tours (there really isn't anything to see). And the midnight show here tonight was sold out in a matter of hours.
It's pretty manic here.
