Twilight Changes

Oh my, what a difference a few years can make. I wrote this post about the Stephenie Meyer Twilight series 3.5 yrs ago. At the time, I was a bit embarrassed to be recommending a teenage vampire romance novel that not a bookstore in my three closest cities even carried to my girlfriends. In fact, when I was looking to buy it, a salesgirl at Seagull told me that they would "never carry a book like that, even if it is written by a Mormon author". But, now look what is available!!
Isn't the change incredible?! And, imho, well deserved. This weekend I went to see "New Moon" the movie with a bunch of my girlfriends and the hysteria was awesome. Adorable Andrea M, gave us the above candy bar to enjoy for the movie and we had a great time together at the movie and getting treats afterwards. Thanks ladies, for not judging my taste and all jumping on the Twilight bandwagon with me before it was cool!

  1. I heard about it first from you too! Good call. BTW - I definitely think New Moon was better than Twilight but we needed more time with the Volturi. Can't wait for Eclipse to come out.

  2. I am surprised this movie is so popular--I haven't seen it but I did love the books. However, New Moon was my least favorite of them all. Oh well. I am glad you had fun and great idea with the candy bar!

  3. I haven't even seen the first movie. Guess I should get on that, huh?

  4. I heard about the books from you and you loaned me your books to read...they were much better than I expected. Thanks!
