Will my obsession ever cease?

I just finished the fourth book for the sixth time and I am trying to resist starting over. I am a little OCD (or CDO as my mom calls it - it's in alphabetical order) and I like even numbers so if I read
them again then I would have to read it one more time so it would be an even eight times!

Part of me wants to give the books to my sister to keep at her house, but the other part doesn't want to have to go to Cottonwood Heights when I want to read it again.

While reading "Breaking Dawn" it would mention something that had happened in one of the three prior books and it would make me eager to re-read that book again.

I am like an addict and I don't want to stop. They always say that you can't force someone to get help until they are ready. Well......I am not ready yet. I think I'll try to go to the library tomorrow and check out a book that I can read to keep me from re-reading Twilight.

I don't know what it is about the series that has me completely hooked. Maybe it's the relationship between Edward and Bella, maybe I like the action of all the scary things that happen to The Cullen's because of Bella. I'm not sure but the books are very entertaining and difficult for me to put down when I'm reading them. Maybe there is some kind of drug in the pages of the books that make you addicted to the books. I don't know........

I've read a lot of things lately where some authors have been calling Stephenie Meyer names. Saying things like she's not a good author, or is a very juvenile writer. Maybe it's just sour grapes, that they're jealous that Stephenie has all this money from her four books (plus "The Host").

I would love to be able to write a story have as entertaining as hers. Maybe one day....

Any new news?

Not a day goes by that I don't check the internet for some news about the "Twilight" saga, books or movies. I've already pre-ordered my "New Moon" DVD, and I checked to see if I could buy my "Eclipse" opening night tickets, but I couldn't find anything on Megaplex theaters website to pre-order the tickets. :(

I'm almost done reading the series for the sixth time! I told my husband that after I finish the fourth book (again) I need to go to the library and check out something completely different so I can resist reading the books again.

I can't say what it is that makes me want to re-read the books over and over again other than the story is soooooo entertaining and I feel like I'm in Edward and Bella's world when I read. It takes me out of my (sometimes) boring life and into the exciting world of Vampires and Werewolves. I just love the books!
