Over the last few years, I couldn’t stop hearing about the Twilight Saga. I listened enough to get the gist of the story: a teen vampire falls in love with a teen human. I was not impressed and just could NOT understand how this plot was creating such a phenomenon!?!? Vampire romance was not appealing to me.

When the Twilight movie came out, I applied the same rule I used for Harry Potter: watch the movie and make the official decision on how I feel about reading the books. After seeing the second Harry Potter movie, I decided I would read the books when the series was complete and wound up reading (and loving) all of them the month book 7 was released. In similar fashion, this past spring I rented the Twilight movie. I thought it was okay, but I was still baffled as to what the big deal was… No plans were in the works for me to read the series.
