Twilight

I’m going to admit I was not a big fan of Twilight when it first came out. I know, I know I can hear the SNARFS from here. Just hear me out.

For almost ten years I didn’t read. I got married, had kids, I thought there is no time for reading, so I didn’t. So up until this point my only vampire history was by Anne Rice. No sunshine, sleeping in coffins, this was my background. I hadn’t realized that there was this whole new world and take on vampires. My mind was not opened to this new perspective. So I SNARFED at Twilight. But with much determination from my bestie, I read the first book. It sat on my night stand for 2 weeks before I finally picked it up and read it. Now if you’re a Twilight fan than you will know that I was immediately hooked. And by hooked I mean, I cooked while reading it, I tried to bathe my kids while reading it, if I was sitting in line at the bank or waiting to pick up my daughter in the car lane I was reading it, I stayed up late to read it. I WAS HOOKED!

Once I finished Twilight I ran out and got all the rest of the books and devoured them in about 4 days. From there I read them all again.

Are you ready to SNARF again? At this point I was still not convinced that I wanted to see the movie. But I went ahead and watched it. I’m not going to say I loved it, it was ok, I guess. There is one character that I don’t like and it’s not Edward. I’m just going to leave it at that. But I did go and buy the Borders two disc special. I have watched it a couple of times, but not as much as my 5 year old son. I will explain that one later on.

So do you love Twilight or do you SNARF it?
