So, I've never been one on top of new releases of anything! I didn't get into Harry Potter really until they were all out. I've never done the midnight matinées of ANY movie, and I've never waited in line longer than a normal ticket line or grocery for ANYTHING! In fact I will wait until movies get to the $2 theater before even if I really want to see them. Well, I guess there is always a first for everything.
I have been encouraged by many people to read Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series. I had to wait until school and state boards were done, but once I started I really enjoyed them. Now, I don't think I would say enough to get myself to Borders books or Barnes and Nobles at midnight for the last of the series release. But due to my Mom, sister, and a few women in the ward I somehow ended up making shirts with my Mom and sister and going to a Twilight Party that ended with cramming into a suburban with 8 other women and young women to be at Barnes and Nobles to pick up our copies of Breaking Dawn. And it was actually a lot of fun. We had a trivia game of all the books at the party, there were party favors and pictures one woman and her daughters had put together from their trip to Forks, WA (where the book takes place) and the bookstore was having costume contests, trivia, and more. It was fun to hear debates of the the books and hear people share their favorites and so on. All in all, it was a fun night, and it was fun to be a part of the group to celebrate something little, but fun!
(For those of you who know sister Sodenkamp - she was there and she was hilarious. We were walking from our parking spot to the book store and she screamed and started running for the doors saying, "I just can't wait! Why are we walking!!!" It was fun!)

Looks like so much fun--wish I could have been there! I pre-ordered my copy for price and convenience, which worked out great for Harry Potter 7 (it arrived on the release date), but it's been delayed. Looks like I'm going shopping tomorrow!
What a fun entry. My mom has even started reading these books, so I guess it's officially everyone but me :).
Nice to see you yesterday!
I read it and I loved it. And I'm kind of embarrassed to be an AP English teacher who reads about Vampire Love. It's my guilty pleasure, but at least I'm not the only one. :)
