I'm a Bookworm

My curiosity started when a friend introduced me to the Twilight movie. Automatically, (like half the population) I fell head over heels for vampires when I saw Robert Pattinson (or in Twi terms: Edward Cullen). I found myself biting my lip the whole way through, wishing for the first time in my pretty sane life for the chance to be bitten by my soon-to-be celebrity obsession!

Anywho, it was after watching the first movie that I decided to buy all four books. YES — all four, all at once (it was buy one, get one free..but thats not the point!)

Naturally, I didnt want to miss out on any extras the director may have edited from Stephanie Meyer’s original novels, so like any true Twihard fan, I started at the beginning….

After a month, I had read all four books. YES…Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn! Now let me really break this down for you…In 744hours. 44640 Minutes. 2678400 Seconds, I managed to read (434+563+628+754) 2379 pages, and if we are talking 173,304  words on average per book, plus the third which is basically double the size, so 348.608…that’s 871, 52 words!!! Now, I’m sure Meyer would agree when I say that’s Twi Twi Twi impressive!!! This is merely proof of
A: how good the books actually are, and
B: how deep my obsession for Pattinson truly goes!

Now, with the good always comes the bad and, sadly, there are some aspects of the books which did at times irritate me. The Twi books were originally targeted to the teen population, and I’m not one to shy from the fact that I’m actually 21…and a half! So as you can imagine…I did find myself shouting out..”Yeah Alright!” and “Get it on already! (Edward and Bella).” But hey –  I could just be a biased 21 year old female, so dont pre-judge — just read!!!!!

May Twilight be with you.
