The Twilight Saga
I think I might have found a book series that I enjoy even more than "Harry Potter" and "Lord Of The Rings"...Twilight! I've always been a sucker for vampire lore. I loved watching "Dracula" moves when I was growing up. The "Underworld" movie series is one of my favorite of all time as well. Along with vampire movies and books, I also have a soft spot (like many women) for romance. When I first heard about Stephenie Meyers' romantic vampire book series, I knew I had to read it.
I was a little late on the "Twilight" train, but it was for the best since I managed to get my hands on a used copy online. I stronlgly suggest that you buy cheap books online! It sure is a lot cheaper than if you buy new books in bookstores. Anyways, I must have burned through the first book, named "Twilight" after the series as a whole, in under 3 days. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. The story of Edward and Bella had me riveted! Everything from the unique plot to the terrific development of supporting characters like Bella's father, Charlie, Jacob and James left me constantly wanting more.
I have since read "New Moon", "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn". The most staggering thing that I've found from this saga is that it gets better as it goes! I couldn't imagine any book being better than "Twilight" and then came "New Moon". I couldn't imagine any book being more interesting and gripping than "New Moon" and along came "Eclipse".
As many of you know, they already released a movie version of "Twilight" which is absolutely fantastic. They are looking to make each book into it's own movie which I am looking forward to beyond words. If you haven't seen the movie, rent it!
If you are a girl who enjoys romance, action, interesting characters and books set in current times with unusual circumstances, pick up these books ASAP! You will thank me later!
