Day 23

The Lord knows that there are many books I love.

It's hard to find one that I even like,

so when I find one I love,

I stick with it.

Well,  I will never forget when I first read this book.

It was instant love!

When I first heard of the series,

I admit that I was kind of oblivious.

I tend to shy away from anything trendy,

because who wants to do what everyone else is doing?

I don't.  Usually.

Plus,  I have this thing about vampires.

When I was little, I was Salem's Lot and it

FUHREAKED ME OUT.

I had nightmares forever about it.

I declared a moratorium on anything vampiry from my life.

But then my kids fell in love with Twilight.

When Courtney & Maddie were both all-things-Twilight,

I felt guilty not knowing what they were reading.

Who knows if this stuff was a bad influence,

or filled with sex and gore.

I decided, I had to read it 

in the name of good parenting.

NOT because I wanted to.

Well, I flew threw that book....

and was enthralled!

By the next day, I was

completely in love with Edward.

I immediately drove to the store and bought the next one.

And the next one, and the next one.

I loved the way this had undertones of morality and standards.

Of course I've seen all the movies,

but needless to say,

I don't love them.

I think she's a horrible Bella.

She's a horrible actress.

Blah.

lurve you, xoxo v.
