So I am totally obsessed with the Twilight series. I remember seeing the books awhile ago, but thought nothing of it. Then my mom (yes, I said my mom) checked it out from the library and was reading it. She said it was pretty good so I thought I would check it out. Little did I know it would just open up a whole can of obsession worms, not to be confused with normal earth worms. I read the first book in a day. And this is no little feat, the book is over 500 pages long!!!!! I immediately bought the other 2 books and read those each in a day. Luckily for me, I got into the series right when the fourth book came out. I got up early that Saturday to go to Target to make sure I got a copy.

Just in case you are wondering the books, in order, are Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.

For people who know me really well, they know I am prone to obsession: Obsession of subway, home-made potato french fries, noodles and parmesan cheese, movies (Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc.), books. This Twilight obsession is just the most recent in a long history of obsessions. My infatuation of this books stems from the love between the two main characters. I think it was really easy to get into the story because it is written in first person; I could really imagine myself as Bella Swan, the love of Edward's life who happens to be a vampire. In the deep darkest parts of my brain I have always wanted something fantastically supernatural to happen to me. Oh I know it will never happen, but some part of me is a little sad it will never happen. That is why is read so much, I can pretend! The two main characters are made for each other in a weird creepy, yet totally romantic way. I love how Edward protects Bella with his life and puts her at the center of his being. She not only is a part of his life, but is his life. To be loved wholly like that is my dream. Sometimes I dont think I will ever find something so all consuming and will have to either settle or live my life alone, either of which is terrifying to someone who longs for her soul mate like me.

NEwaz, I know it is just fiction, but it is fun fiction. And if you are looking for a book to read on those rainy days, I would recommend this series. But it is a young adult book so dont expect anything too profound, just some good old fashioned fun!
