Obsession? Yes, Perhaps...

I'm supposed to be getting ready for our camping/family reunion.
But I just can't put this book down! I'm so addicted! I seriously need help!
I'm reading 'New Moon,' the second book in the Twilight series, by Stephenie Meyer.
My best friend, Karena, recommended it to me. I was thirsty for a new book series I could really dig my nails into. Little did I know how much I would be digging my nails into it... or, should I say how the book would dig it's nails into me!
There are four books in the series. I'm already sad about that...and I'm only on the second one, 'New Moon'! I don't think I've been this hooked in awhile.
It's about this sweet girl from Arizona that moves to cold and dreary Washington state to live with her father. It's dull until she goes to school and meets a peculiar boy that has some very strange behavior and beautiful features. That's all I can tell you cause you're going to read it and if I tell you too much your going to be so pissed at me! Like I would be if you gave it away for me.
This is Stephenie Meyer's first book series and she's totally rocking it! They are already making a movie out of it. I've decided I have to read all the books first before I watch the trailer because I hate it when I watch the movie trailer and go back to reading and it totally ruins the characters in my imagination. But I can't wait to see it. If it's anything like my imagination I'm going to have to see a psychiatrist to get me to function in non-book-land again!
I've been reading the book reviews online and there's some gooey controversy over this book. So, I guess Stephenie is LDS, or Mormon (a Christian religion) and that doesn't really mean anything until you read the book. There is a dark side to it that is frightening, enticing, and thrilling all at the same time. But, with that said, I think Stephenie Meyer's has done an amazingly good job keeping the book alive with good taste. Her religious background is underlined throughout the book in a very subtle way that keeps the book gentle. It's dark, but it's not dark as in "Let's go to Hell and have a hay day!" kind of dark. It's a fun and enticing dark. Like rich dark chocolate! You just cant stop eating! It's too damn good to be true!
I'm not comparing the book to chocolate? I really am addicted! I wonder if there is a book readers anonymous.
I'm going to do my best to get everything done Benjamin asked me to to get ready for this camping trip. I must have self constraint! But I know my whole day is going to be planned around the times I get to read a chapter...or maybe two?
Pack clothing bag...check.
Read a chapter...
Clean out the food bin...check.
Read a chapter...
Read another chapter...
Clean out the car...check.
Read a chapter...
Maybe...just one...more!
Ugh!!! I'm a mess!!
But...I love it!
