Vampires, Wherewolves, and Bella.... Oh My!

Yes I am officially a nerd! I went to Walmart Friday at midnight, to buy the crazy vampire book!
Walmart was packed, but my friend had called ahead and found out that they had 2000 copies.
When we showed up, there was a line stretched halfway around the inside of the store. We found the back, and within a few minutes the line started moving very quickly (we were walking at regular pace)
It turns out that they started handing out the books, and then had you line up at a register until midnight. It was great, we got to be about 7th in line, and were out of there in just a few minutes.
Now, in case you were wondering, I am not a very big fan of these books (GASP)! I think that the author drags everything on for about 10 minutes longer than needed. These books should be about half the length. She is very repetitious, and her editor always misses a million mistakes.
That said, the idea is very intriguing, so I have continued to read them.
At the end of the day, it was fun feeling like a teenager for a little while, and leaving the family home while I hang out with friends in the middle of the night.
I'm a little over half way done, and I'm not so sure... I'll have to see what happens!!
Ladies, please don't hate me!
