Welcome to My Twilight Zone

Since being introduced to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series one short month ago I've been obsessed with all things Twilight. On July 17, 2008 my Twilight reading marathon was set into motion. The transition into New Moon was a smooth one since I bought both books at the same time. In contrast, there was nearly a one week lag in between before I was able to get a copy of Eclipse; I was like a junkie waiting for my next high. On August 1st - the day before the release of Breaking Dawn - I was lucky enough to get my copy of Eclipse at Half Price Books. The very next day I took possession of the much anticipated Breaking Dawn. The timing of my obsession couldn't have worked out better. My reading marathon lasted just about three weeks. I could have gotten it done quicker if my family hadn't gotten so used to regular meals and baths.

I have other non-Twilight books that I attempted to read unsuccessfully. They just don't hold a candle. Instead, I decided to re-read the series. This time I'm reading it a lot slower to absorb all the details that slipped by me the first time I zoomed through the pages. I've also decided to post about my progress as I go through each chapter. It will probably be more of a monologue but I've grown accustomed to talking to myself anyway.
