I am so stuck in this series and am counting down for the movie to come out in November...
Every friend I recommend these books too and laughs when they tell me they became addicted. I was curious if anyone else is reading them??

As I am neither female nor 14 years old, I had never heard of them until I read a story about the tourism boom in the town (yes it's a real town) the stories are set in. I think that's kinda funny.

I'm female but not 14. And it seems everywhere I go there are people reading it. I got the book from a doctor that works at my mom's doctor's office. And, most of the people I know reading it are grown women. They are everywhere...It doesn't matter if I've walked through work with the book, taken it to the doctor, the dentist, the DMV for while I wait, women are stopping me who are reading it too. lol
But, yes, it's apparently created a HUGE tourism boom in the little town of Forks. I guess their town page now even has a section dedicated to the books with pictures of the actual areas mentioned in the books and so on.

Cool. When I finish all the Harry Potter books, I'll check it out. I love a good series.

the movie comes out next month i think. November 21st! ;D Yes, a girlfriend that I got hooked on the books and I are planning to go see it. I actually havne't read teh 4th one yet and am not sure why I've put it off other than I know how crazy life has been and that I haven't had a lot of time all while knowing when I pick up the book, I'm not going to want to put it down. Now that I'm getting into the new place and don't have tv, maybe I'll get it and get it read!

I would stay up until 2 in the morning reading twilight, I finished it last week. Good stuff. Go online and read Edwards version (author had to post it online because someone stole one of her early incomplete transcripts and put it out on the black market. She was crushed and stopped writing it and will not complete it. But she did publish online for her fans to read what she had so far.)
Read that one second, it retells Bella's story in twilight but through Edwards eyes. Then move on to the other published ones.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE!
