The thing is, my daughter does not enjoy books that much, as her tastes are very quirky: Hunter Thompson, Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting). Also, she is not a fast readers.

Yet she had finished the two books in a week! I was astonished when she told me that. So, I guess you guys knew what you were talking about after all.

Book one.

Hello, I've mostly been a lurker at this wonderful forum, and I should have known you all would be talking about the Twilight books. I loved them all, with Breaking Dawn being my favorite book of all time. The Host comes in at a close second. I was fortunate to attend the Bella Birthday party in Forks on the 13th. It was a lot of fun.

It was fun. I would guess there were at least 1,000 people who attended, about a third of the population of Forks. They had all kinds of things going on. Tours of the school in the classrooms where Bella had classes and the lunchroom, that were staged to look like Bella and Edward had been there.

At the park, which is where we spent most of our time, where the mayor read a proclamation. There were two Twilight decorated birthday cakes, about a dozen vendors selling everything from jewelry to teeshirts, and music playing by a group called The Bella Cullen Project.

They did a group picture that is on Fork's ForksForum webpage. Oh, and they also had a look alike contest for Bella, Edward and Jacob.

We drove around and took pictures of the school, police station, and the hospital where there is a Dr. Carlisle parking sign. We couldn't find Bella's house or Edwards, but I guess some people did.

In Lapush that night, there was a bonfire and native dancing, but we didn't go to that.

Thanks for your reply

I wished I would have known about it before it would have been a great trip with some friends

It's not to early to make plans for next year. In fact, if you want to get a hotel in town, it's a good idea to make reservations now.
