    A completely DIFFERENT love story. Don't think of Vampires and Warewolves in the fantasy sense - somehow the author makes it completely plausible for these characters to exist in real life!!! It completely sucks you in from Chapter 1. It's also a relatively easy read - some parts are complicated as you dive into it, but mostly it is just easy and thoroughly enjoyable!

    K - I can send you the first book if you like?

    Ditto Amy Kitten! Im totally not a sci-fi/fantasy/vampire kinda person (Interview with a Vampire is the ONLY vampire thing I will ever admit to liking), but its really not what you expect it to be! She definately makes it realistic and plausible. You kind of forget its based around vampires and just get sucked in by the complex relationships and stories in the plot. A fabulous peice of writing.

    ok, i'll get outta the twilight closet! LOL!

    Have you read all 4 books?

    Yes, i have read twilight 3 times and new moon twice.

    Which one was your favourite?

    I found new moon to be my favourite. the sequence of bella in the forest is really powerful i reckon.

    Have you seen the movie?

    yes.

    What did you think?

    i liked what they tried to do with an extremely tiny tiny budget. that said, the makeup dept were terrible and carlisle looked ridiculous with that white face paint. i was tempted to pre-order it from amazon, but i will be waiting to buy it in a few years, when i hope they will have a box set kinda thing happening. look forward to the next as i imagine they will have real money to use this time...loved seeing the scenes of it in the oscars yesterday!!

    i liked the serious nature of bella. i felt that she was quite an intense and internal character so that appealed to me. liked jacobs casting, but still not sold on the edward actor...he looked a bit weird at the oscars too.

    Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan?

    EDWARD

    Why?

    gotta love a vamp! LOL! need i say more??!!

    What is your favourite quote?

    dont really have one...may get back to this one! LOL!

    I will be back to answer the questions later when DD goes for a nap. But I wanted to ask did anyone spot the wonderful Edward Cullen (or at least the actor who plays him) sitting behind Mickey Rourke (I think thats his name) at the Oscars.

    Just for the record I have read the series 3 times.

    Have you read all 4 books? Yep - im looking forward to reading them again

    Which one was your favourite? - i truely loved them all..... If i have to pick tho it would be Breaking Dawn... such a fantastic ending

    Have you seen the movie? What did you think - Yep, i loved it too..... i cant wait till it comes out on DVD.... and i cant wait till New Moon comes out either in November.... such a long wait
    I find it hard to believe that Stephenie Meyer didn't write the part of Edward for Rob Pattinson. He was absolutely perfect for the part. His looks were almost identical to what was described in the books and he really portrayed Edward's personality perfectly - tormented, broody, angry. I thought the chemistry between Rob and Kristen was insane!
    I agree completely..... its absolutely how i pictured Edward
    I thought they picked Bella well too tho

    Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? EDWARD for sure..... tho Jacob was so cute in Breaking Dawn... i finally started to like Jacob in the last book

    Why? I guess Edward for me is the perfect man.... nothing really to do with his looks (even tho he is damn HOT - ok maybe i lie alittle )...He is so smart, romantic and loving, i love how he is old fashioned too

    What is your favourite quote? Both Anna and Amy wrote my 2 favs'..... tho there are so many good ones.... ill have to have a look and come back
