eclipse

I am definitely not a book reader, never have been. But I can't deny that I have actually thought of picking up to read Twilight after seeing the first movie. Chris talked about this saga before it even got huge, telling me it would be something I would be interested in. But with the kiddos, I just never find the time. I would feel guilty if I put more effort in reading these books than the Book of Mormon!
Anyhoo, YES...we are totally hooked on the movies and cannot wait to go see it tomorrow night for date night! I am not a huge SCI-FI fan, but Bella is me in so many ways. Well, mainly the clumsiness! HA! And Chris loves to think he is Edward, irresistable to all! HA! (He's gonna hate me for writing that! You're irresistable to me, honey=)
Angie, your post is hilarious. I'm really shocked you aren't into the saga as much as the rest of the mormons/world! But Chris agrees in the fact that the movies do not do the books justice. I'll never know the difference I guess!
If you must know, I'm Team Jacob. It's something about the Lamanites that I just can't turn my back on! (It has nothing to do with Jacob's abs, I swear!) lol

OMGosh! I read until 2/3 of the 3rd book and was SICK of Bella!! I was so disgusted with her that I was like, "I am done! I will just watch the movie!" LOL I cannot wait to go see the Eclipse movie as well...while I am not a Bella fan, I am totally into these books/movies.

Go TEAM Edward!!

NO offense, Blanca!

I totally agree with you about Bella. I am like her in the sense that I am clumsy, and was a bit confused during those "puppy love" years, but I think she is soooo mean in playing both sides. I get so mad at her.
The movie is great! You will love it; it was everything that I expected...and more!

Blanca- the books are so much better! I have only seen the first two and have not seen Eclipse. I was so disappointed at all the details that were left out of the book. I love reading. It's hard when the kids are small. Ther are so many great books out there. Naomi and I swap which ones were reading or have and read. SOme of all my all time favs: The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splenid Suns, My Sisters'S Keeper( better than the movie) and FireFly Lane. I did enjoy The HOst by the same author of the Twighlight series.
I'm with you on Jacob as well as my girls:)

This is Chris - I deny any connection to these books, movies, and so on. I don't know what my wife is talking about, ignore her...look into my eyes...Chris doesn't like Twilight...Chris doesn't like Twilight...bye
