Twilight, A Countdown
13… hours I’ve spent the past two days spent reading Twilight and New Moon
12… hours I’ll likely spend over next two days reading Eclipse and Breaking Dawn
11… dollars spent to acquire the book, Twilight
10… times my teenage niece asked me if I had read the book yet after I bought it
9… pages it took to get me hooked on the first book
8… times I thought to myself “Edward sounds dreamy”
7… times I’ve spotted missing quotation marks – who edited these books?
6… errands I blew off today to finish New Moon
5… times I exasperatedly thought “how could Bella have not yet figured out Jacob’s problem?” while reading New Moon
4… times I have eyed Eclipse, debating on whether or not to start reading it now or this evening
3… position on my Netflix queue for Twilight, even though the DVD won’t be out til the end of the month
2… other books I should be reading instead of these, Loving Frank for book club next week and Song of the Lark which is due back to the library
1… time I will read these books because while the story is quite intriguing, I daresay I won’t gain much more from a second reading.
So what about you? Have you fallen into the trap that is Twilight?
