I was an addict. The house was looking haunted, the kids where feasting on who knows what, and my hubby was thinking of intervention. I could not put it down. Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight was love at first bite. Literally.

It is a love story with one foot in reality and one foot in fantasy. It involves high school craziness, first loves, and how can we forget – vampires. The story line is sweet and thrilling. The best way I can describe it is: cotton candy – light, youthful and sticks with you.

Please, do not let the thickness of her books fool you. Buy them all and do it all at once. I, like many of my friends, could not get my hands on the next book in the saga fast enough (yes, there are 4 in all). I finally caught on by book #3; I bought Eclipse and Breaking Dawn at the same time so my craving would not become a public display of hysterics.

At barnesandnoble.com look for Stephenie Meyer: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

I am truly sorry for passing on the addiction, but WOW it is fun.
