Oh, I finished Eclipse and i'm going a bit crazy.. So many things that are going to happen and I want to read about it so badly. Talk about an addiction huh!

I've been reading Meyer's site, and with some happy and sad feelings also about the..*swallows nervously* film of Twilight.

I really do love her books, I let my imagination run loose and have a perfect image of the characters, the surroundings, the house.. you name it. I bet many of you have that too.
Now, I was so very excited when they made a film about the Harry Potter series. I really let my imagination go wild on that one too. Anyways, the films were pretty much a slap in the face. Not how 'I' saw them, and that ruined it a bit. Just a little bit though, They are great films so far.

So I don't know what to expect of the film of Twilight. What i've read about Stephenie Meyer, and what she posted herself, is that she has a clear image of how she sees everything (obviously) and I hope she will push her will and ideas through. Still have mixed feelings about the films, ruining my dear Jacob most likely.

Enough with the negative talk though! Meyer better hurries with the next book, cause I really can't wait

My kids couldn't find in hardback either.

Okay I've finished Twilight...now on to the 2nd. I am really hooked. When Twilight ended I HAD to start the 2nd book. That's why I haven't been online much this last week.

Let's all just be careful in posting our thoughts about this series that we don't give anything away to those that are reading or have yet to read them.

I just finished Eclipse and thought I would chime in here! This is a great series, the best I've read in a long time. I don't disagree that they should be sold in church bookstores, but obviously the only reason they would be sold in church bookstores is because the author is LDS? I mean, absolutely nothing in the book has anything to do with LDS. If I didn't know the author was LDS I never would have thought. But still, having said that, I really love the series because it is a great read, great characters and not a buncha bad language and other "rated R" stuff. So, while it's not "LDS" it is most definitely a great "PG" book (not "G", no no not "G")

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)

While you may be the only guy on this thread, you are definately Not the only guy who has read them. I agree completely that these books should NOT be sold in an LDS bookstore. They have Nothing to do with the LDS faith. While they Are Good books, they are not Uplifting books. And I think anyone who has read the chapter called Temper in Eclipse will agree that we don't want people thinking Mormons are ok with Bella's suggestion. The author Might be making a point with Edward's refusal, but really..

Well, after reading all of the excitement on this thread I went to the website.
I really enjoyed reading how the ideas for the first book came to her.
I've downloaded chapter 1 of both Eclipse and Newmoon.
I'm looking frward to reading them when my little one has her afternoon nap.

I have to admit it... I am completly addicted to these books. My friend loaned me the first one back in june and I couldn't put it down. I read it in the first day. The next day she loaned me the second one and I did the same. Then the day before I had my baby she bought me the third one as a gift. I couldn't put it down either. All the nurses in the hospital were going nuts because they saw it on my baby's bassinet. hehe.. I have now read them all two or three times and I can't wait for the 4th one to come out...

I'm so happy to see this thread is really picking up!

Pammy, SF...when I get to Utah we can have a real gabfest about what happened in the books! Lunch is going to be so much fun!


Lona, Daisy. Great Comments! I agree the books aren't G but am definitely grateful that they aren't R like the Anne Rice books. This way my teenager can read them too.

Kortney- hee hee!! I can just picture you in the hospital with the book in the bassinet! haha! ...how much longer do we have to wait for that fourth one?! aaaah!!
