Haha, yes please! I need to know what's going to happen. Jake or Edward? Immortality or Mortality? Maybe even Werewolf?

I was waiting for someone to start a discussion about the Twilight series. I absolutely love this book. We did it for a book club, and had a huge turn out. I haven't meet one person who's read it and not liked it yet. It's my favorite book, the only one I've read twice in the same year. (Usually I have to wait a few years to re-read a book).
I love vampires, and Stephenie does a fantastic job making them less evil. I'm wondering how she's going to end the next book. I hope Bella & Edward end up getting married, or I'll be disappointed.
And what do you guys think about the vampires having a "soul". Personally, I think if they have strong feelings, like love, hate, jealousy, etc. I think that's a soul. So in fiction reality they all stand a chance.

I heard about these books from my hairdresser a about 6 weeks ago and she suggested that my daughter and I read the series. One thing she also suggested that you order the 2ed and third book at the same time.

This weekend I am at a Family reunion and I saw that my BIL (what a shock) was reading the first book at the pool. I know know that this is something I must get my hands on.

I have not read any of the books but have talked to many that have. I've heard nothing but good about them. Guess I need to try them out.

I might be the only guy to post this, but my mother and sister read the series, and recommended them to me. Now I have read Anne Rices Vampire Chronicles, and a couple of those books are listed as my favorites (not all her books are that good, mind you). But Twilight series is soooo good. I read all three books in 4 days. Yeah, that doesnt happen often. I dont think they should be in LDS bookstores, though. While Stephanie Meyer is LDS, the books are not. My opinion only. Cant wait till the other books come out. Now, we can see Edwards side of the story (the first chapter on the new book is on Meyers website, and is downloadable)

Oh wowwwwww. I just found out my teenagers own all of these books. Okay now I have to read them. I didn't realize these were the books my daugher said she is addicted to and now has my sons reading. Now I'm really excited.

Okay I have now started reading the first of the series. I'm reading Twilight. I'm finding it a "can't put it down" book. So far it's REALLY good.

I'm so glad you're enjoying the books, Pam!

I agree with all the poster's here...they are books that you just CAN'T put down! I must read "just a little bit more" to find out what's gonna happen. It got so bad that I had to set a timer so I wouldn't spend all day/night reading! I know.. I'm a nerd!


Adomimi,

Would you post the link for us?
