"As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. Twilight discovers a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship."
For Book Club this month, we were discussing the Twilight Series. I enjoyed reading the first three books but not so much the last book, Breaking Dawn. Bella got what she had wanted all along in the last book and that was told in the first few chapters. Then the book went on for another 600 pages. It didn't keep me wanting to read and read like the other 3 books had.
I dressed up like a vampire for the book club with "eyeblack" for lipstick, black (batman) cape and red (from the camera) eyes. (eyeblack is the stuff you put under you eyes when you play baseball)
These ladies decided to put "candy corn" in for their fangs. (click to enlarge)
I like the green fangs best!
We had a great time. We took a quiz for some vampirish prizes and the person that got the most right was someone my mom's age. Kind of funny since this is a "young adult" book.So the question is: did you like series and are you excited for the movie?

You are funny. You already know I like the series. Sadly she is not writing another book since her latest was leaked but you can read the partial version of her book on her website online: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/midnightsun_partialdraft3.pdf
We also read the series for book club, but our Twilight Series night wasn't as festive! Holy cow - will you be in my book club? You are so awesome! I thought you went to a Halloween party, but no, just book club. Thanks for the laughs!
I just want to say how great you look in your costume! What a fun book group!
