Reverb11 – Day 5 – Twilight

I’m so glad I’m finally on track with Reverb11! Now I can answer the prompts as they come each day and not have to rush through a backlog.

5. Reading
What has been your favorite book (or books if you can’t pick just one) that you’ve read this year?

Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga just blew me away. I know it’s been years since she started the series, but I never got on the Twilit train when it was all the rage. Each book was a treat and I was rather sad to reach the end. Can’t really say much without inadvertently spilling spoilers, but you can read the overviews online and judge for yourself. I think my enjoyment stemmed from the fact that her vampires were like no other I have encountered; I mean, I wanted to be one! Their characteristics were quite enticing, no?

A lot of people had negative stuff to say about Bella and I still don’t understand why. She was a different kind of heroine though, maybe that’s why she really appealed to me. I also watched all the movies and they were NICE. The special effects were on point, people. I can’t wait for Breaking Dawn – Part 2 to hit the big screen, woot woot! 😀 Oh yeah, Team Edward all the way, baby.

So, if you enjoy fantasies and you’d like a fresh take on vampires, I highly recommend Stephenie Meyer. Try one book and see if you can resist wanting to know what happens next.
