J'Adore: The Twilight Saga



A little story about me jumping on the Twilight Express:

About a year ago, everyone was going crazy over the release of  Twilight on DVD.  Both my sister (who was a huge fan of the books) and my co-worker insisted that I must READ THE BOOKS FIRST!  (For fear of certain death if I didn't), I took their advice and borrowed the first book from my co-worker.  I was hooked.  Skeptic that I was, I was instantaneously drawn in, I read Twilight in no more than 5 hours, and immediately drove to Barnes & Noble and bought the rest of the collection which I voraciously devoured over the next 2 days.  Yes, I read all four in less than 2 days.  Sad to see it end, I then proceeded to watch Twilight (the movie).  While not exactly sticking to the book, Catherine Hardawicke (the director) did a great job with her interpretation of the book.  (If you want to watch it check out HBO/Showtime/Starz on the weekend, they play it ALL the time).
