Breaking Neck

So I am just starting the 4th and final book in the Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series and after gathering every pillow and blanket in my house to get comfortable last night it was all to no avail . . . the book is so huge! It is over 700 pages, how in the world are you supposed to get comfortable with an anvil in bed with you!? I woke up this morning with a stiff neck and sore arms.

I'm am a few chapters into Jacob's book and I must admit she has taken some strange and out of the box turns in this continuing story. Even so, I still find my self intrigued and drawn to the turn of every page. What is it about this story?! So, wish my family luck this week as they suffer through my distraction, knowing that I will not be back to 100% until the darn thing is through. Okay, they might be suffering through to the next month, I will probably read it twice.

My friend Janel put a poll on her blog the other day and I thought it looked like a fun idea. So go to the right and cast your vote. If your answer is none of the above, tell me your escape in the comments. Maybe my fellow readers can help my aches and pains.

Breaking Heart is what you should have called this post. It is what is happening to me right now knowing that I will be alone until you have finished your book. I can't wait to see you again...sometime next month...or later...Edward is my nemesis.

Ha Ha! That's why I disappeared one Sunday afternoon after church. 7 hours later I had only a handful of pages left. I did it in one painful reading session so I didn't have to drag it on. I couldn't find a comfortable position to read in. My arms got tired, my hands cold wah wah wah! I loved it though!

ohh I loved it too- read it in about 2 days- the kids learned to take care of themselves while I read the whole series in about a month- just kiddin- I took a break to check in on them once in awhile!! I loved it though :) let us know what you think when you are finished- heard lots of different opinions!

This whole serious was completely addicting! I think I've read the first three books in less than two weeks, and I'm about 1/3 of the way into book 4. I can't put them down! Makes me wish there were more books hehe

I could put you one to some "good " stuff too!!!!! JK
Happy reading!

Mark cracks me up because I know that is exactly how Aaron felt. I read the whole series in about a week and a half. I really liked the whole things - thanks for talking about them so much that I decided to read them. I just read them in one big stretch. The last one is so long though - it is hard unless you have someone to wait on you and your kids to finish it. Have fun reading.

Breaking Dawn is so good, and both Lee and I felt it was better than some of the other 2. I don't want to say too much for fear of spoiling anything, but you get to see everything you have always wanted and more. Loved it!

By the way, Mark is hilarious! I just realized that the first comment is from him. Maybe he is just jealous because not only is the book filling up your time and occupying your thoughts, but that he can't wait to read it too. And until you are finished, he has to sit there and wonder. By the way Mark, Edward is everyone's nemesis, but he is so wonderful, even you can't hate him. Just think of him as maybe a level to strive for or surpass, but you probably already have done that.
