Two thumbs up for Stephenie

I was missing in action for the past couple of weeks that I failed to even greet my significant other a very happy birthday in a very special way. (Sorry bubba.)

I have not been THAT busy. Of course, there were loads of emails to answer and stats to maintain but other than these responsibilities, I’m guilty. YES, guilty to being addictive once again to another book, I mean, books --- Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight, Eclipse, New Moon and Breaking Dawn.

Reviews said that this series of books is another Harry Potter in the making. Being a Harry Potter fan, I’m doubtful and skeptical (redundancy is the way to emphasis -- hehehe). But I guess, the fearless forecast made me curious. =)

I’m a selective reader. I don’t really read books because of the rave reviews they receive or how the movie versions made it big in the box office. I read books if they catch my interest. I believe I mentioned this in my blog before that I fancy the murder-mystery-forensic-science genre. Harry Potter was an exception and a wonderful one at that – that I didn’t mind spending serious bucks to buy them just so I would have the complete set.

Going back to the works of Stephenie Meyer, I wanted to read them to see if there is any grain of truth in the reviews but I wasn’t that curious to spend big smackaroos on them, so I decided to buy the ebooks instead on eBay. If I liked them, then I’ll buy them – someday. =)

Read all of the books and I LOVE THE STORY!!!! I love Isabella Swan but Edward Cullen was to-die-for. He really made me want to be a vampire for him. I even told Ceasar that if he ever leaves me (I already told him this when I first saw David Cook), Edward Cullen is definitely the one next in line. Edward Cullen is sooooo hot!!

Unfortunately, this could not be the next HARRY POTTER. I’m sure of it. My fearless forecast.

Still, the temporary isolation I put myself in for the last couple of weeks was WORTH it. Of course, I did miss reading Vayie’s, Tetay’s and Chico’s blogs but if the ebooks were really books, you’d understand it when I say I really found it hard to put them down. It was a different love story somehow, that it caught my attention.

I can't wait to have the real books. Stephenie Meyer’s books will definitely be in my wish list!
