I was wondering if any of you are like me. I dragged my feet at beginning the books. I didn't want to get addicted- nor did I think it was possible because it is not my normal character. Here I am now, within 3 months I have read the series 3 times- twice by myself and once with my Husband (he really enjoyed them- and we share twilight chuckles all the time). I surely can't - shouldn't read the books again. That isn't normal. I didn't read anything but the blog for the last month- and if ever, rarely commented. I decided since that since the TA meeting is at my house- I better pick it up and skim it so I can be in on the conversations. I must simply say- it was as fun to read it again as the other times. I found myself picking up on little details- writing out a time line and again being in love with love. It really brought a sense of joy ( and a little guilt because I should have been doing house chores) again. Even my husband noticed. I call the series my other triple combination- so my husband told me to read from both daily. I guess I shouldn't worry if it is normal, or if I should "move on" with something else, or is my life lacking in something- I just know that reading these books brings a smile to my heart and a sweeter kiss to my husband.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful Twilight experience Jill. You have no idea how much I enjoyed reading that. It makes me excited because I, so far, have felt the same way each time I pick up Twilight, it's still fresh somehow and I enjoy it so much. I've been wanting to read it again, but keep putting it off for one reason or another (of course I've got to finish my husband's Star Wars book first, ugh). I look forward to similar feelings. My last time through I loved reading and finding new details as well, stuff I have never really picked up on before or that I can see differently. There really is nothing quite like the magic of Twilight. I love that you call it your other triple combo! Mine are on my nightstand, next to my other "set" as well. And I especially love your husband's comments and advice, so sweet that he noticed your increased happiness after reading over the weekend. Good for you!
By the way Jill, did you start right from the beginning? Or are you just reading bits and pieces of different parts throughout? Just curious.
The books never seem to get old for me either. You must have a very understanding husband to get him to read all 3 along with you!
Yes Jillike's DH stands out from the rest when it comes to TW understanding and enjoyment. Jill that was so poetic. Thank you for sharing what we all feel. I keep purposely putting off my next read because I don't want them to lose their magic. I don't think I need to worry about that anymore.
Hey RWV I haven't moved passed the intro on old "Shatterpoint". Where are you?
My sister-in-law (whe was the one who forced me to read the books) has actually had her husband tell her to go read the books because she is so much happier after she gets a little reading.
I think that this is one of the reasons I like these books so much - I am better after I read them (unless I'm interrupted), and it makes my real-life relationships sweeter.
This is a very noticeable difference from many other books, movies and activities - so many things tend to make us more selfish & grumpy - so it is nice to have something that uplifts us.
Nope, unfortunately I haven't got past the intro yet either. I wasn't going to admit it, but since you asked. But hey, I've had plenty of research to do for a very important meeting this week, so my free reading time has gone to that. Luckily my husband hasn't cared too much, he's still plugging along with TW.
