me too.

At one of the YW activities the other night, I overheard a conversation that went something like this:

"Oh my gosh, I love that book."
"Me too. I've read it 3 times."
"I love how they haven't even kissed, yet."
"I know! And, he really is beautiful. I just know it."
"But, you've never even seen him before..."
"I have in my dreams."

(Really.)

At this point, I had to interject: "What are you guys talking about?"

After which a chorus of shrieking girls reply: "Twilight! The best book... Ever!"

Ah-hah... Something I can relate to. So, I say, "Oh, I have heard about that book... isn't it about vampires?"

"Yes! It's seriously sooo good."

But, then, I get drowned out as they busily talk about their favorite parts of the book.

I've seen this book highlighted in the blogosphere, (I think Lori's reading it right now.) and I'll admit, I feel left out when everyone's reading something that I haven't. (Especially if it's something I can talk about with my YW.)

So, I picked it up on Saturday, and I'm already on page 147. True, it is a Young Adult novel, and sure, a lot of the dialogue does seem immature... But, what can I say? I, too, am finding out about this beautiful vampire named Edward.

Finally, something I can talk about with my Beehives.

Intrigued?

This is so funny Lacey..because the same thing happened to me, except for I was already half way through the book before I heard my Young Women talking about it. I didn't really know it was a young adult book (I mean, it's on the New York Times best seller list) and I felt stupid reading the same book 8th graders are gushing over. Especially when after we were done discussing Twlight, they asked me..."Have you read the book 'Prom' or 'The Clique'?"
That's when I was like, ok ok...laughing inside.

Anyway...forgot to say that I really do like the book, don't know if I'd read it 3 times--or even twice for that matter, but once is good!

Hi Katie!

Such a small world, and of course I remember one of Annelisa's bestest friends...

Thanks for the head's up on the book... I'm almost to page 250. :)

I have to admit that I have read the first one and just got the second one from the library (it took a month to get here after requesting iit. must be popular.) Anyway, I thought it was a fun read. Sometimes you just need something that doesn't make you think and brings you back to you teenage years when you probably would have read it five times and daydreamed about handsome vampires falling in love with you.
