Eclipse


I stayed home from work today. I was feeling pretty sick, with a runny nose and sore throat that I knew wouldn't go away on its own. I called in to work and then crawled back in bed. I spent most of the day in bed. I tried to sleep, but I had a lot of trouble sleeping, and in fact I just lay awake most of the day. Every time I got into bed, I would try to sleep, but it was impossible because there was this book in front of my face, and the pages kept turning, and I had to keep reading them. I would get to the end of the chapter, promising myself I would put it away and close my eyes, but then the chapter would end in such a suspenseful predicament that I would have to keep reading and reading and reading.
It was 600 pages long. I read the entire thing.

I just finished "Eclipse" last week and couldn't put it down either. Needless to say, the laundry and apartment didn't get cleaned that Saturday...

I enjoyed them too! We bought them for Aaron's sister for Christmas and she already had the set, so I just decided to keep and read them. I'm looking forward to the next one coming out.

Hmmm, my sister, baby-sitter, and all blogging friends are reading this. Maybe I should look at it.

Amen! Forget sleep when you are reading those books...finding out what happens to Edward and Bella are way more important than sleep! I am losing sleep over just waiting for the fourth book to come out! And the movie!
