My Great Escape

I knew I needed an escape, I wanted to forget about all of life's problems and submerge myself in something so rapturing I wouldn't be reminded of my own worries.

I called my friend Tiffany (I will not hold it against her that she is "Team Jacob.") She owns all of the Twilight Series books by Stephenie Meyer and it was high time I borrowed them. Each one hundreds of pages long. If this worked I would have but one agenda for the coming weekend...

And it did.

In five days I had read the entire series. Amazing. I am through and through "Team Edward." I am as obsessed with Edward at age 30 as I was with Leo DiCaprio after the Titanic when I truly had the excuse of 'teenager.'

The selfless love that Edward has for Bella is so addicting in itself, it is no wonder every girl, woman, and man I have spoken to, who have previously read the books are as engrossed with the series as I am. And I was quite annoying as I called my friends and family at all hours of the day and night to gush about the books. (Sorry Thomas & Autumn.)

Here it is, day two without Bella, Edward, & Jacob, and I am having extreme withdrawals. My dreams, previously laced with my own nightmares have been replaced with those of vampires & werewolves, but I welcome them...This series was exactly what I had hoped for.

If you have not read them you are missing out. Get on it!

  1. there's a graphic novel of the first twilight book out. the art is really pretty. i'm not really into the books but i can see why someone would be. you could try reading the sookie stackhouse novels by charlaine harris; those books are the basis for "true blood".
