My eyes flung open this morning and I looked at the clock and cringed. 6:30am and I’m awake??? And my kids aren’t?!?! So I totally thought I’d fall right back asleep…. but then I did the math in my head. I went to bed at 9:30pm, so I got 9 hours of sleep. Here I am wide awake without children, so I grab the computer to maybe do a little bit of blogging, and sure enough Ella’s eyes fly open and she immediately notices the computer and drags herself up just to bang on it. Her eyes weren’t even fully open. What is it with children and destroying their parent’s quiet, alone time?

I heard last night that somebody leaked the partial manuscript of Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun and she has now posted the first 200-something pages on her website and is not going to be finishing the book. That makes me so sad and mad. Why would someone do something like that. This series has done amazing things to my soul. I have never had a book, let alone a series effect me the way that this Saga has. The past couple of days I’ve tried really hard not to read, because I only have like 130 pages of the fourth book, and I don’t want it to end. I have enjoyed every single book, and every one has touched me in its own way. The characters that Stephenie created were beyond amazing. The love between Bella and Edward is a love that all of us girls only dream of…. I love my husband, but that type of love is literally only for the fantasy world that all of us girls live in.

I was looking forward to Midnight Sun, and a part of me doesn’t even want to read the first pages she wrote, because my heart will be saddened that there will not be an end. I could only imagine how sad Stephenie feels that someone she trusted leaked something so special.

On a happier note, I also read on her website that the movie is coming out 3 weeks early!!! Instead of 12/12/08 it’s coming out on 11/21/08. Um, YAY!!

I hope that Stephenie finishes Midnight Sun. And as I type this Ella is snuggling up to my chest. I have the most loving, snugly children… I am so thankful for them. I wonder if one day Ella will be reading the Twilight Saga and fall in love with it the way her crazy mother has.

I finally had to jolt myself out of this Twilight obsession and start a new book. Many people seem to love The Memory Keeper’s Daughter so bought it. I started it and am enjoying it so far. I’m a little sad though that I’m moving on from Twilight ~ it’s a sick obsession. I really hope this is a good book. Stay tuned for a review when I’m done.

I finished Eclipse. I must admit that I’m devastated. I’m utterly devastated that I have to wait until August 2nd for Breaking Dawn to come out. I wonder how much longer after that until Midnight Sun comes out.

I think I can say that Eclipse, the 3rd book in the Twilight Saga is by far my favorite. I loved all of them, but I really loved Eclipse. I’m not going to give any spoilers, but I just have to say you definitely won’t be let down. If you have jumped on the Twilight Saga wagon I suggest you get on it quick.

I didn’t think I’d like these books and neither did any of my friends, but we all were never let down. Stephenie Myer is a genius and I look forward to any other books she has in store for us.

I opened up a book one day not expecting what was going to happen to me. Something about this book wrapped my emotions all up in a ball and threw them all over the place. I fell in love with characters and more than usual. I love books, and I always fall in love with the characters, but I’ve never been obsessed. I’ve found an obsession and it almost scares me.

The love that is between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen is unthinkable. There’s something about the way that Stephenie Meyer builds these characters up to captivate your soul that is utterly breathtaking. I can’t even begin to explain the way I have fallen in love with the Twilight series. I haven’t even finished book 3, Eclipse, yet and am almost afraid to. The fourth book Breaking Dawn doesn’t come out until August 2nd and I shutter to even imagine what I’m supposed to do after that. At least I know that I’ll have something to look forward. Stephenie Meyer is rewriting Twilight through the eyes of Edward….. simply genius.

If you are looking for a story that will literally leave you yearning for more and more then I HIGHLY suggest you start reading the Twilight series. I don’t think you’ll be let down and if you are ~ I’m shocked.
