Hi! I guess people aren't for the introductions but I'll add one 
I'm an avid reader. I don't usually read this type of story but for some reason a friend of mine was persistent enough that I decided to open the first book, "Twilight" .... By chapter 4 I was hooked and couldn't put it down. So I read book one and two right away, then re-read them repeatedly until the new book came out on the 7th. I was first in line at our local B&N to pick up my pre-ordered copy.... I wasn't taking any chances. I read the book strait through with minimal breaks.
Background on me, I'm the Managing Editor for a magazine, I am hobby and craft oriented. I love my kids and husband. Family is top priority for me. Love music, art and writing.I enjoy reading, using as a means to relax and escape into another 'world' of thought and feeling. I do like some fantasies but I also love non-fiction/biographies and histories. I read all around the spectrum but it isn't often that I find an author that really captivates me. Stephenie's books have amazed me.
Anyhow, that's a bit about me. I'll be lurking on the boards and posting my thoughts as time permits
Thanks for the forum!

Hey everyone!
Is Brett another male reader, besides Paul? :]
I'm 25, from California, and always loved books about vampires and shapeshifters. I really am enjoying the series.
I read Twilight on a review from Amazon, and decided to include it as one of my choices for bookclub--the gals picked Twilight (to my surprise), and the rest is history.
I 3 Jacob! [I adore Edward, too. Don't worry. I'm a Libra. Gotta keeps things balanced!
]
I am all over the place with my favorite genres--thriller, mystery, light hearted philosopicle books, marxist theory, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, hisotircal fiction, etc etc. I give everything a try.

Hey everyone!
I first read Twilight a few months after it came out. My friend had received the book as a present, and gave it to me because she thought that I'd like it. Of course, I am addicted to reading so I took it gladly. Needless to say, I loved it. I order the book from Barnes and Noble and read my friend's copy over and over until I received it.
I've loved a lot of books, but nothing has ever compared to how I feel about the Twilight Series. I don't exactly know why, but it has certainly made an impact on me.
Anyway, I will be 18 in a couple months, and am a senior in high school currently. I'm very busy with that, but I always like to take time to talk about books, so I guess that's why I joined this!

hi!!!!
i love stephanie meyer! i read tons of vampire stuff, but her series is my absolut fav.! i haven't gotten to read # 3 yet tho.
i put it on my b-day list and so i can't buy it. just have to wait a few more days tho. i'm almost 13, and have read and reread the first two books so many times that my first copy of twighlight is now in two pieces. i bought another copy tho. i've started a book club at my middle school for this series. it's doing great. but after stephanie meyer, my next fav. vamp. author has to be ellen shreiber.

Hi all,
I'm only a week into the world of the Twilight series, picked up Twilight on my day off last Tuesday and stayed up reading it straight through. I went out the next day and did the same with New Moon, but gave myself a few days off before diving into Eclipse
I'm not in the YA category, nor do I have children so I suppose I'm one of the odd ones out when it comes to fans of this series. I haven't even picked a "vampire" book since about the 4th or 5th Anne Rice novel, but I am a fan of fantasy in general. I don't usually post on forums about books but I'm fascinated how taken so many people (including myself of course) are with this series and I suppose I'm curious about all the reasons, so /wave!
