Favorite Books - Stephenie Meyer

I must admit, I was a bit hesitant about reading a YA novel about vampires.  I've never really been a big fan of vampire stories (I hated Interview with a Vampire), and I figured the Twilight series would be no different.  But, after hearing a few of my friends say they had read the first one and loved it, I figured what the heck, I'll give it a try and see what happens.

What happened was I found myself falling in love with a vampire!  :) 

The first book, Twilight, was great, and I loved every minute of it.  Book 2, New Moon, was good, but Edward was gone for soooo long that I thought he was never coming back, and I started to think - well, maybe Bella SHOULD be with Jacob afterall.  LOL  I struggled the most with Book 3, Eclipse.  It took me forever to get through this one, and I was beginning to wonder if Bella would EVER become a vampire already!!  When Breaking Dawn came out I started reading it and was immediately hooked again.  It lived up to my expectations of where the storyline would go, and I loved the book.  I think Ms. Meyer could have condensed books 2 and 3 and made just one book out of that whole time period, but at least I was rewarded for my reading efforts and got the ending I wanted.

Now if she would just move on to something new, and leave the Twilight series alone instead of trying to restate the first book from another character's perspective, I'd be a happy camper.  C'mon Stephenie, let's see what else you can do!
