Twilight

[Theresa]

Have any of you read this book or the other 2? I'm just getting into it and between the book and SCM, I can't get anything completed anymore! The writing style is so easy to read and I'm just tearing through it. Anyone else?

[Kellie_MO5]

I've never heard of it.. who's it by?

[Lynette]

Stephenie Meyer. You are reading through it so easily because it was written for teenagers ;) It is a big thing with Salina and her friends and either the movie or the next book in the series is coming out this summer.

[Theresa]

:biglaugh

I'm all about love stories and am a bummed there isn't more detail.... ;) Nora Roberts is one of my fave authors. :lol And speaking of Nora--the 2nd book in her new trilogy is out and I got that too.

I've seen the trailers too and the movie looks awesome!

[Lynette]

I think that is why there is a lack of "detail" because minors are reading them :D The same author just put another book but I can't remember if it is a singleton or the beginning of a new series? If I ask Salina she would be out of control with gidiness that I am bringing it up and talk my ear off for hours about how Edward is hot :shake

[Theresa]

ha! i heard that the new book is really graphic--gotta look into that one--and it's causing a major uproar. maybe she should write an r-rated version. :lol i think she's mormon too and maybe that's causing the controversey

from what i saw about the movie edward does not look like i pictured him. i thought they would get someone cuter, but he'll do. :lol

[Lynette]

from what i saw about the movie edward does not look like i pictured him. i thought they would get someone cuter, but he'll do. :lol

O.M.G. if I have to hear that controversy again between Salina and her friends I will open a vein myself! :lol When they say Edward is hot, they are most definitely referring to the book, not the movie ;)

[Theresa]

:biglaugh

so i should stop going on and on??? i feel like a darn teenager myself. one of my good friends got me hooked and we gab and gab. i feel like how i did when 90210 was on and my nkotb phase!

[Lynette]

LOL! Salina has been trying to get me to read the books for months and I just couldn't find the time so if I even hint that another mom is reading it and likes it she will be all over me again to read it :D

[Theresa]

they are really good! :bag you could always start and not tell her. then one night just start a converstion. the first one was hard for me to get into, but now the pages just fly by. i saw all 3 books together and thought--no way! but i'm so damn into it--in fact i'm leaving here to go read! :) now roy's says, "first you're on the computer, now you're in the bed reading. clean the kitchen woman!" then i give him the angry eyes. :lol the kitchen can wait!

[lornabrown]

Okay - wait fill me in?

Nora Roberts & Stephanie Myer. Do both authors have trilogies? Where would I start?

Anyone read books by Beverly Lewis about Amish families. Love them!

[Theresa]

I haven't read Beverly Lewis--but I'll check her out. :)

Nora Roberts writes a lot of romance--she's written like 50+ books or so. She does a lot of trilogies too. Her books are fun to read, like beach books. I've read them all and just love her.

Stephanie Myer is the one who has written the Twilight series. It's a youth love story about a small town and vampires. :)

[Kellie_MO5]

I LOVE Nora Roberts ;) Very good stories, GREAT hot n heavy without being all penthouse forum ;)

[Theresa]

Kellie--have you read the new trilogy? Just awesome! I'm forcing myself to wait!

[Kellie_MO5]

I haven't yet, no... I've actually just finished a couple I got from the free stuff playdate we had (hehe, so thanks to whoever took them! LOL)

[Theresa]

i've got some if you want them. :)

[Kellie_MO5]

ooh, I'm all over that! I LOVE to read in bed at night ;) Thanks!

[Theresa]

i'll let you know which ones i have.

[Kellie_MO5]

Thanks!

[ladybish]

If you like Nora Roberts, try JD Robb - is one of her pen names. Its a crime drama/romance series. Warning: very graphic!
I love Beverly Lewis and Jodi Picoult.

[colleen&Kail]

my sister has read all 3 of them and she love them.

[Lynette]

Alright, alright Theresa, you talked me into it! I'll read them when she is not around because the look on her face when I just start talking about it would be priceless :lol

Its funny but when she started reading them she was all into vampires so I suggested she read the vampire series of OUR generation by Anne Rice and we watched some vampire movies too like Lost Boys and The Vampire Lestat and I think she was put off by the fact that there was no romance :lol "Well MY vampires don't kill people for food!"

[meeg124]

:lol That girl is just a bunny hugger through and through!

[Kellie_MO5]

LOL, Lost boys was my fave movie when I was 4, and I LOVED Ann Rice in high school

[My3sonsplus1]

I LOVE Nora Roberts ;) Very good stories, GREAT hot n heavy without being all penthouse forum ;)

ooh, I'm all over that! I LOVE to read in bed at night ;) Thanks!

uh' Kellie I think we have found the source of your fertility :P I don't think reading is all you have been doing at night; I think you have been getting too many pointers from Ms. Roberts ;) :lol.

[Theresa]

I've read a few JD Robb, but not really my style. :lol

Yay! Have you started the first one??!! I'm almost done--and I still think she should write and R-version! It's funny--these are more my style, just missing the sex, but Anne Rice's books were just okay to me. :lol

[MS Photo]

I was just thinking today that it might be fun to start a book club forum on here. What do you guys think? Not to hijack the thread or anything ;)

[lovesthebaby]

I am reading Twilight right now, I like it. I think a book club is a great idea!

[Theresa]

I've thought about a forum for books too--I've just been too lazy to mention it. :lol

[khanson]

So, I have to say, I read this book in like 3 days. I felt like I was craving it and absolutely fell in love with the characters. I'm almost 1/2 was thru New Moon now and I just started it this morning. Thanks Theresa!

The new book comes out on August 2nd :yahoo

[weg'smom]

So, in the last two days I've read Twilight and almost all of New Moon. As I said earlier, I've read so many book reports on Twilight that I was avoiding the book. BUT after reading how much you ladies liked them I figured I should give them a shot.

THEY ARE AWESOME! Thank you so much for the recommendation.:clap

Okay, I'm off to read now.

[khanson]

The new book comes out on August 2nd :yahoo

Which one is the new one again???

[Theresa]

Yay! I'm so glad you ladies liked them. The new book is Breaking Dawn.

How is it possible that a series can be sooo addicting?

AND

Should we do a MNO to go see the movie on 12/12???? :lol I'm so there!

[Lynette]

Which one is the new one again???

Breaking Dawn is coming out on 8/2 and there is talk of her writing Twilight from Edward's perspective and that is supposed to be called Midnight Sun. She is in negotiations with the publisher but I am not sure if she has written it already or not?

[weg'smom]

Ummm, YES!! Maybe I'll dress up as a Human!

[Lynette]

Ummm, YES!! Maybe I'll dress up as a Human!

O.M.G. Good point, this is going to be one of *those* movies where everyone dresses up :giggle

[khanson]

I got chills when I read this! That would be freakin awesome!!! Oh, I hope it happens!

[khanson]

I just checked my Amazon order and realized that I pre-ordered Breaking Dawn. :woohoo

[Theresa]

I pre-ordered it too! I'm so going through withdrawls. I keep looking longingly at the books. Maybe I have to read them again!

Should I put the MNO on the calandar? :lol

[khanson]

Of course Theresa~what's taking you so long :giggle

So I finished New Moon last night and I'm starting Eclipse tonight. I can't wait!!!

[weg'smom]

It's pretty good so far. I might be joining team Jacob....

[Theresa]

I am so on team Jacob! Just the image of all of the gang with their buzz cuts and their huge bodies made me shiver!

[hlebakos]

I read all three books while I was prego. They were so good that it took about two days to get through each one. Now I am on "The Host"" but I am not really digging it yet.

I pre-ordered the next one so hopefully that will be better since it is part of the Eclipse series.

I would love a MNO to see the movie, but I am not sure about vamping it up, maybe some gothic eye make-up or something, but no black capes or red boots for me.

BTW, I am on team Edward, Jacob is a furry little boy trapped in a man-beast body.

[Theresa]

Good description, but I'll take that body over some whitey skinny bloodsucking old man trapped in 17 year olds body. :lol

[becky]

this is totally off topic every time i see this thread pop back up i keep thinking you all are talking about twilight during birth and I get that image in my head from the movie "the business of being born"

[Theresa]

funny. i've got the books if you would like to borrow them. :lol they read rrreeaalllyyy fast..... :D

:lol :yeah to everything! I'm totally team Edward too!

And The Host, I'm not really digging it yet either. It hasn't captured my attention the way the others did. Hopefully it gets better!

[hlebakos]

I checked out the movie web sites, I agree, Edward is not what my dirty mind pictured. I envisioned a younger Johnny Depp, Leonardo Decaprio or Ethan Hawke, this may ruin the movie for me.
BTW, Edward may be cold, but Jacob is inexperienced, he would probably just drool all over you....

[khanson]

I better not check out the movie websites so I don't lose the HOT Edward that's in my head before the next book comes out. That may just ruin it for me :lol

[becky]

hum i might have to take you up on that so I know what you all are talking about :)

[Lorah]

Hmm I need to look into that too.

good idea kim. :lol

[Annie]

Yea! I am so happy to find others into this series....so addicting! The movie Edward does not do the book justice and I don't know if I like Bella either.

Has anyone gone to Stephanie's website? You can read some of what was deleted there.

You can buy shirts with team Edward or team Jacob or runs with wolves. I thought about getting on but decided I would look like a mom trying to hard to be cool and young:blush

[hlebakos]

I wasn't sure if that was Bella in the photo or one of the beautiful sisters.

And in regards to sporting a team Jacob or team Edward shirt, yeah, that might look a little pathetic. People might start calling you a cougar.

hehehe...a shirt screen came with one of my books. it's team edward in red and team jacob in blue. i can't make myself put in on one of my shirts though. :) there was also a poster for breaking dawn--it is up on my fridge. :lol

[Lynette]

My 15yo was trying to get me to buy her a shirt like her friend's that has an apple on it like the book cover and says, "Bite me!" :shake

And :yeah to whoever suggested a younger Johnny Depp! With that longer bangs that get in his eyes and those cheekbones... :thumb

[hlebakos]

And :yeah to whoever suggested a younger Johnny Depp! With that longer bangs that get in his eyes and those cheekbones... :thumb

Yeah, do you remember, 21 Jump Street? What a hottie.

[Lynette]

Yeah, do you remember, 21 Jump Street? What a hottie.

Oh yes I do :D I think I had some of his pics up on my wall from Teen Beat or something :lol

:lol I'd totally wear that shirt :giggle

So I watched a movie with Hayden Christensen yesterday. He's who I would imagine Edward looking like cuz they always talk about his bronze hair. He was super hot too :)

[Theresa]

Hayden would have worked too. :)

Young Johnny....my wall had him pasted on too. YUM!

[becky]

:giggle I love reading this thread. you gals have me wanting to read these books now so I can see what all the talk is about :D

[hlebakos]

I finished the last book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn. It took about two days.... anyone want to borrow it? I highly recommend that you read the first three before reading the last one. They are all addictive quick reads.

[Theresa]

You're fast Jenny. I remember talk started about the book here--but some of us--:bag--haven't finished. My book just came last Thurs so I'm getting there. :)

And to all--I've got the first 3 if anyone wants to borrow those. :)

[khanson]

I have to work first. I won't get back to it until tonight probably. I'll let you know! I'm loving it though!

[Lynette]

Aren't we all about done by now?? I finished more than a week ago, where is your dedication?! :lol

[Theresa]

Aren't we all about done by now?? I finished more than a week ago, where is your dedication?! :lol

[Theresa]

But of course! I will bring them. :)

[hlebakos]

Aren't we all about done by now?? I finished more than a week ago, where is your dedication?! :lol

PM me your take on the ending.....

[Kellie_MO5]

just figured I'd go back and see who to blame for my Twilight obsession.. so thanks Theresa! ...... no, really... Thanks! :giggle

[Theresa]

really??? i'm honored! :giggle thank god we have this group! hardly any of my other friends have read--we are sooo much cooler than them!

[FTM2Hannah]

I finally caught up with you all and have read all 4 books. Plus I found "midnight sun" ( a partial manuscript) on the author's webpage. It was a good read. I'm sad that the series is over though!

[Theresa]

:woohoo beth! wanna come with us to the midnight movies? :giggle

[Debbie]

I finally caught up with you all and have read all 4 books. Plus I found "midnight sun" ( a partial manuscript) on the author's webpage. It was a good read. I'm sad that the series is over though!

I was gonna ask if anyone had found Midnight Sun.. I found it a couple days ago also and am still reading through it. Its really interesting to see things that happened in twilight through Edwards eyes.

[ktjo17]

I was gonna ask if anyone had found Midnight Sun.. I found it a couple days ago also and am still reading through it. Its really interesting to see things that happened in twilight through Edwards eyes.

I have read it three times... :bag

[Shanta]

Is it really over?

I sorta thought she might spin off Jacob and Nessy

[Kellie_MO5]

no, she said that their story is over, but she will hopefully continue to do the rest of the books from Edwards POV, and I'd also really like to read New Moon from Jacobs POV, too

[Theresa]

i think she will so totally continue the story. i'd honestly rather read more that just more of the same from different pov's. maybe i feel that way because i haven't read the midnight one? doesn't really peak my interest though--and i don't like reading on the computer.

[colleen&Kail]

theresa you NEED to read the midnight sun from edwards perspective! its almost like a whole new book

[Debbie]

She can rake in so much money if she keeps on with the different POVs.. same story line just tweaked... Brilliant.

[Theresa]

ok--twist my arm why don't you. :giggle does anyone have a hard copy?

if i was her editor--i'd be on her like made to continue!

[Debbie]

There is no hard copy.. its only half done and she stopped working on it since it was leaked to the internet without her knowledge.. she got pissed and stopped working on it, but did post it on her website for people to access anyway....
