The Grimey Bunch :): The Twilight Series

On one of our Grimes family adventures we found something that would become topic of many conversations in the future. In 2005 we went on a trip to Seattle and surrounding area. Stopping in Forks and Port Townsend for a few days. Somewhere along the way some of us met an author by the name Stephan Meyer. So as you can guess we started to read the Twilight Series. I was the last to read it because, well I don't like to read. Sorry guys but I don't. So Dottie had to almost forced me to sit down and get started;) . I finished Twilight in a few days(I'm a slow reader) and HAD to find New Moon. Witch I finished right away. I only had to wait a few weeks for the release of Eclipse. Thank heaven I hadn't started before I did, waiting for Breaking Dawn was torture. We have had some fun parties and read-a-thons with these books. They have been a fun way to come together as a family. We have even convinced some of our men to read with us.

I have talked some of my friends into reading these books(Mandie still won't). I have also made conversation with people I don't even know over the book. It's funny the kinship we all fill about it. "Oh yes I have read it. I loved it my fav part was..." is an opening line I have heard more than once. Who knew Vampires and Werewolf's could cause such a stir in my life? One friend said about Breaking Dawn "Is it a good ending? I am emotionally invested in this and I don't think I can stand if someone is heart broken in the end." Another friend said "I don't need crack my drug of choice is Edward Cullen" Some of my Nieces and Nephews even went on a Twilight trip to Forks this summer. I was very jealous, I love the book and it couldn't be set in a more beautiful place. I'm not sure why I went of on this rant today? I guess I was sad to see the story end. So if you want a fun new "addiction" as Tonya calls it pickup the first book I bet you can't put it down!
