twilight

Yes, it's written for tweens (for those of you who grew up in the 80s, think "Sweet Valley High" with vampires)...

Yes, it's another series about vampires...

Yes, it's G (or at least PG) rated (Interview with the Vampire - Sex = Twilight)...

But still, there's something about Twilight...

I came to the Twilight party a little late, but I'm actually really glad.  By the time I was convinced to start reading Twilight, the fourth (and maybe last?) book in the series was already out.  Thank goodness!  I read all four books, one immediately after the other, in about a month.  I can't imagine the agony had I been forced to wait a year in between each book!!  And by the time I finished the last book, I only had to wait about two weeks for the movie.  Now I'm normally not a big fan of movies adapted from books I've loved, but I'm as excited about this one as all the other giddy girls who will be standing in line alongside me on opening night tomorrow night.  That's right, you heard me.
