I think I may be slightly in love

Couldn't put it down, off to waterstones tomorrow to get the next ones, tell me i'm no the only one

Haven't read a book in ages that has kept me that interested, even DH said that must be good, I was still reading whilst stirring the soup

I just finished the last book, Breaking Dawn and I am so disappointed I thought it was so badly written and just pushed the whole premise too far. Such a shame as I really loved the first three (have posted them all to my little sister as I have finished them but may just bin charity shop this one)

FlossieT · 31/10/2008 22:25

Anyone that is interested but hasn't yet bought them - they're cheap from Red House Books at the moment...

janeite · 31/10/2008 22:09

I know, I know. I'm sorry! It drives people mad because I can never turn my English teacher head off and just get lost in the story. I do try, honest gov!

EachPeachPearMum · 31/10/2008 21:51

You are far too discerning Janeite!

janeite · 31/10/2008 21:44

Well; I've started book one. Would it cause a riot if I said I'm a bit underwhelmed by it so far?

Thefairiesmademedoit · 30/10/2008 14:16

Hmmm, having read this thread am now pondering making a purchase.

I seem to have a thing for bad American telly shows and their supporting books. Since I have now passed through my Buffy, Roswell and Moonlight obsession perhaps I have space for a new kid on the block.... It would be following through with my previous vampire theme.

Off took look at Amazon.

You and me both EdwardCullenCanHaveMySoul! I had no idea who Robert Pattinson was before casting, and he is EXACTLY the Edward of my dreams.
I had no idea that these were teen books either when I read the first two books about 3 or 4 years ago. I LOVE them, and have read them now more times than I could count. I still just love Edward more and more ever time (and believe me I didn't think it even possible )

Host is good Flame I agree. Can't wait to see what she does next.....
I have read the first 12 chapters of midnight Sun too, and loved it. It really fills in the gaps. Hope she does actually finish it someday. crosses fingers, toes, legs etc etc

Flamesparrow · 29/10/2008 15:11

Host is very good

janeite · 29/10/2008 15:11

DD read the first one yesterday and immediately started on the second. I will read the first after I finish "World Without End".

carrotsandpeasifyouplease · 29/10/2008 15:09

Robin Hobb farseer is v.good, still waiting for the new GRR Martin though and have been for ages it seems.
Edward for me too, Bella is ok but seriously Renesme?? i couldnt even read the name quickly it just sort of stuck there so the flow wasnt that good. I have to say though i got a bit bored at the 2nd or 3rd book but persevered and it was good but not as fantastic as the first book had led me to expect it was going to be.
The host seems quite good, would be interested to know if anyone has read that yet?

LostProphet · 29/10/2008 09:46

I read anything and everything - my list of all time faves are
The Collector - John Fowles
His Dark materials = Phillip Pullman
Great Gatsby
Robin Hobb Farseer load.

so a mix

LurkerOfTheUniverse · 23/10/2008 17:36

lilibet, I read most fiction and som non-fiction

just read

cranford
The Spare Room
Dream Babies

so Stephenie Meyer is not someone I would read normally

nuttymum303 · 23/10/2008 17:23

I have all 4 in the series in my TBR pile lol. Looking forward to readin them.

lilibet · 23/10/2008 13:59

I'm very tempted, but those of you who lurve these books, what other books ahve you enjoyed?

strawberrycornetto · 13/10/2008 20:55

Oooh good, I will take a look then

LurkerOfTheUniverse · 13/10/2008 20:43

strawberrycornetto

the actor playing Edward is spot on imo

LurkerOfTheUniverse · 13/10/2008 20:42

Twilight was recommended to me by my 14 year old niece

i LOVE it! Edward is swoonsome

I am 38 btw

Dottydot · 10/10/2008 21:54

They're wonderful - I've read them all and am gutted I've got to the end of the 4th. Sigh - but I think another's due out soon.

maidamess · 10/10/2008 21:48

My dd (13) DEVOURS these books, and will read nothing else.

She has them piled up next to her bed and re reads them in rotation.
Nothing as grabbed her as much, not even Harry Potter.
Are they really that good?

AbstractMouse · 10/10/2008 21:45

Thanks Mia off to amazon I pop, it better be good you lot

MiaWallace · 10/10/2008 15:58

AbstractMouse, I think to appreciate the second book you really should read Twilight first.

New Moon can be read as a stand alone book but works much better as a sequel.

ghosty, yes it is the vampire book and well worth getting.

ghosty · 10/10/2008 05:04

Is that the vampire one? I have been tempted to get it but wasn't sure ...

AbstractMouse · 10/10/2008 01:41

I randomly picked up the second book in a charity shop, is it worth reading it before I have read the first, or will it spoil it? Don't really want to spend money on the first if it's not my cup of tea. Also have nothing appealing to me on my book shelf atm.

strawberrycornetto · 06/10/2008 09:05

Just finished the 4th book last night. I loved it, definitely Edward not Jacob for me! didn't know about the film until this post and don't think I really want to know and spoil the picture in my head Makes me wish I was 17!
