breaking dawn


i am anxious to read this new book by Stphanie Meyer. so many of you have already blogged about it and many of you have already read it. i am waiting my turn for a copy from Karen. She is busy working and reading when she can, then i will be lost for a day or two. today i am busy doing all the house things that i can. especially laundry, so that i won't feel as guilty when i ignore it all (yes, even the kids) to read.

now, i didn't ask permission to tell you the following story so i won't mention any names. but some of you will know who i'm talking about. a good friend got her book in the middle of the night on Friday. she took the book to work with her that next morning. after work she didn't even make it out of the parking lot, she had to read right there in her car. she finally pulled together enough self control to go run her errands, but didn't make it real far. she ended up reading in the parking lot! i'm not real sure what the thought process was after that but if it was me i think i would be thinking about how much more comfortable i would be reading at home. so she started home. apparently the book was so gripping at this point that she pulled over about half way home and read some more! now that sounds like a good book. i can't wait to read it, feel free to post whether i know you or not and without giving anything away, let me know what you think of the book. or tell me your funny little story about reading it.

Well min, KJ is one of those crazy people who stayed up till midnight and then went and bought the book. she is paying 1/2 so she can read it before me, and she did. she read it all by the 2nd day we had it. now i am reading it. I don't read as fast as she does but I am about 1/2 way done. I love this series of books. Megan read the 1st one and is now on the 2nd one. thats really good for meg as its like pulling teeth to get her to read. enjoy it (but if you have not read the others, start with the 1st one)
