Edward...

Last night I turned on the bedside lamp before I grabbed my Twilight book and crawled under the covers. It was about 11:00 and I knew Tyler was wondering if I was seriously going to continue reading (I had neglected him and the house all evening while I read), so I quickly filled him in, "An evil vampire is about to kill her, but she'll probably be rescued by her romantic boyfriend, the good vampire. I'm almost done, I can't stop now." Tyler laughed and I could tell he thought it was funny that I was even reading a love story about vampires (cheesy, fictional romance is usually not my style).

I turned my back to him in order for the lamp to shed the most light on my book. Just as I began reading, Tyler leaned over and put his lips really close to my neck and said in his steamiest, romance-character voice, "Do I remind you of Edward?" and he leaned in to bite my neck!

I burst out laughing, flipped around to look at him. It was obvious that he thought he was really clever and funny. "How do you know his name is Edward?" I kept asking, but all he did was lay back down and laugh.

When he wouldn't tell me how he knew that Edward was the PERFECT, romantic vampire, I accused him of reading the chick-flick series. He finally confessed, "I talked to my mom tonight and told her you were busy reading that book. She told me to say that."

We both got a pretty good laugh over it. He rolled over and went to sleep, and I stayed up for another hour to finish the book.

So, I admit, it is actually pretty good. Generally I like more thought provoking books, but, it kept my attention and I did want to keep reading. It's very predictable, but I guess that's what most girls like about cheesy romance novels, right? It's an easy read and entertaining, so I think I'll keep going with the next book.

Oh, I have to add that I hated the baseball game part. Sounded more like something from Greek literature or something. Such strength that the crack of the bat sounded as loud as thunder, literally? Whatever. But, it was still pretty good.

What can I say? I'm so disappointed!!? :P

Hysterical Tyler...I don't think he got the scoop from Marsha, I think he is reading the book too (probably over your shoulder)!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh, you've gotten sucked in!! I read the first three while I was preggers and on bedrest and had nothing better to do. I have to say that after reading the spoilers about the fourth book, I doubt I'll ever read it. It's brain candy - mindless fluff. Fun if you have the time, but I'm totally mystified by the people prostrating themselves at the feet of the author and swearing their undying allegiance to Edward or Jacob. Apparently half my ward was down at the Walmart for the release party (that was complete with hotdogs, face painting and a wedding cake giveaway...seriously).

These books have taken over Utah SAHMs! I too have read them and I regretfully admit I am almost done with the final book. Most of the time I am thinking this is so stupid as I am reading them but at the same time, I can't put them down! I guess the author is doing something right!
I agree it is just an easy, entertaining read. Am I obsessed and thinking I am married to Edward? NO!
Tyler is so funny. I think he IS secretly reading when you aren't around!

Ohhhh, if you're not liking the baseball scene, I'm guessing it's about to go downhill for you! That's EXACTLY how it happened for me--I thought the first book was okay and hated the baseball scene and then, by the end, there were lines that just made my throat close up because I was so embarassed for her that she had written something so bad. You'll have to let me know what you think at thte end.

By the way, that's totally funny that you found our family blog! I'm glad you said something--I would've responded earlier, but there's been quite a bit of drama this week with getting me out of the hell-state of Louisiana and I've been preoccupied. So now we can be official blog buddies! :)

That is hillarious!!! My DH did something like that, poor dear. No one could ever be Edward, but he sure does try! ;)
