Let's start this off by saying I was one of the biggest TwiHards back in the day. You name it - I did it. Midnight movie/book releases, writing/reading fanfic, multiple Forks trips, conventions, Twilight cruise, sleeping on the ground so I can get into Hall H at Comic Con. And you know what? I wouldn't trade any of those memories for anything. Twilight brought so much into my life and not just happiness but friends and adventures that I will treasure for life. But enough with the sappiness, let' ...more

Something that I did not expect was, I woul ...more

This was my favourite book at one point in time.....but over the years I grew up or may be Edward's story isn't that compelling to me. Self pity and self restraint is good but the limit to which Cullen's family goes is unbelievable and also Edward was 130 yrs old vampire and he never touched a girl/women!! seriously??? So believable!!! I read same line almost 10K times. Like how much he loved her and how his nearness is killing her and how he is so dangerous, how he shouldn't be with her. Omg se ...more
