SO...I think I'm the second to last person to read these books! (My friend Aimee hasn't yet...anyone else?!) People have been telling me for months to read these, but I kept putting it off...let's face it, for those of you who know me, I AM NOT A READER! I pretty much run away from anything over 300 pages, and that's even pushing it...other than the scriptures of course! Any way...look at how FAT these books are! So, I have a friend named Mackenzie who has been begging me to read them. They are her favorites! She is on her 7th time reading them! (She's one of my girls at church, and she is so fun!) I promised her when I saw her last week that I would start them by Sunday. So, when I had a dentist appointment on Thursday, I took Twilight with me to get started. Well, as I mentioned in an earlier post, the book sucked me in! I was up until 2:30 a.m. Thursday night reading it. I finished it on Friday.
Friday morning after gymnastics, I went to buy books 2 and 3...I realized very early that these would be keepers! Much to my horror and embarrassment, I had to go to the Teeny Bopper section to get them...oh well! So, I started book 2 Friday night. Shane had realized that I was becoming, in his words, obsessed with these books, so he built me a fire to read by when he went to bed! I'm so lucky to have such a supportive hubby regardless of how psycho I'm being! I was up until 4:30 a.m...I couldn't put this one down! I finished it up on Saturday morning!
Saturday I had to be a functional part of the family and we had a great time in the snow and Shane took me on an awesome date! (I'll post snow pics as soon as I download them!) So, of course, after our date, I started reading book 3. I was up until 2:30. I stayed up last night until 3:30 and finished it!
So...I read these BIG FAT BOOKS in four days! They must be good if I would do such a thing! They were well worth it! I'm going to read them again, but I have promised Shane that I won't be "obsessed" this time, since I know what's going to happen!
It's kind of embarrassing that I'm reading the same book as my 12 year old niece, but at the same time, it's fun to talk about it with her...and Mackenzie, and my sister Kelsey, and Jill, and Amber, etc...!!! (Thanks again for the picture Amber!)

Don't feel silly. I too am not a reader and did the same thing with these. They were easy and entertaining to read. I've lent them out to my little sister and when I get them back I am going to read them again too.
You're welcome! I am glad you enjoyed them as much as I did! Doesn't it leave you feeling like you've got to have another book to read though?
it does leave me feeling like I need another book to read...so I started Twilight again...very pathetic, I know!!! I do like Nicholas Sparks...I need to read some more of his!
I haven't read the books yet. My cousin gave me the first one for my birthday in August, and then we had our baby and I have not had time to read them yet. But I am glad to hear they are so good. By the way, this is Katie (Young) Jackson...Dick and Kim's daughter. Your blog is so cute!!
I have lots of Nicholas Sparks that you would LOVE!
