I actually read book 1 and almost all of book 2 before I kicking the inertia and switching to something else.
*is impressed* You are a stronger person than I ;)
My excuse is I needed something to listen to on my iPod in the underground, and I didn't feel bad about missing bits here and there if it got too noisy.
Heh! After about 270 pages, I started skipping over large sections of conversations between Bella and Edward. I would scan to see if another character entered and then stop and start reading about there. I think this is what allowed me to get through it.
I'm completely puzzled about the Meyer phenomenon, but curious to see where it'll all end.
Oh, I know. Harry Potter I understand because I genuinely liked those books. But these ones are something entirely different. Meyer just seems totally enamored with her own creations too which is weird. Like you'd never hear Rowlings going on about how dreamy Sirius Black.
I'm considering reading Cassandra Clare's books, starting with City of Bones. Have you read them?
This is so funny, I haven't read it but I was thinking about starting the series too. I was just eye balling a copy of it yesterday thinking "should I? Should I?"
Have you read the Melissa De La Cruz's "Bluebloods" books? I got obsessed with those a couple months back. Filled the void left by the completion of Libba's Bray's "Gemma Doyle Trilogy" reaching it's conclusion.
