Thirsty......

Have you ever read a book that was sooo good that you just could NOT put it down? You couldn't wait to see what happened in the end. You spent every second reading, until you were done?

Sure you have.

But what about a book that you enjoyed so much, a story so riveting that you NEVER wanted it to end? Literally?

I have. 4 of them actually. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and finally Breaking Dawn.

"Aren't those young adult books?" you ask.... Yeah, probably. But the story (at least from a woman's point of view) is so powerful, that is sucks you in and holds you captive.

It's very hard to put into words, but I've never had a book move me the way these have.

Never has a story been so strong that it made me nervous (to the point of shaking) for the characters. Never have I shed the tears they should, feel utterly crushed, heartbroken and betrayed, or so absolutely elated for them as this series has.

And to think I almost didn't read them......... *gasp*

So here I am, with two chapters left in the last book to read. Totally and utterly depressed that it's almost over. And I do NOT want to let go of the characters. So I read a page here and there. Drawing it out as long as I can.

Oh how I wish I could go back and sip the series like fine wine beside a fire, instead of gulping it down like a cold soda on a hot day.

Because now I'm so... Thirsty..............









(I'd just like to add, that I read the first 3 books before seeing the movie, which was pretty much awful. I understand script changes, things out of sequence and the like. But there was sooo much over acting and too many cheesey moments that the movie was ruined. I hope, hope, hope, that the director for New Moon will do a better job. That book is incredibly powerful, and I pray that they don't ruin it the same way they did with Twilight.)
