People told me for the longest time how much I would enjoy these books and I kept puttingit off. I finally bought Twilight and it stood on my TBR shelf for a few months before I picked it up. I am so glad I did! I loved every minute of it and luckily, I was able to get New Moon within days of finishing Twilight. I am now waiting for Eclipse to be returned at my library so I can read that one too.

 

I am a huge Edward fan, but Jacob definitely grew on me during New Moon. He was there for Bella no matter what. How can you not like a guy like that? I hope that the series doesn't get too destroyed with book 4 (it was supposed to only be a trilogy I''ve heard) and I read the excerpt of Edward;s version of the story so far and it's great!

I think Eclipse answers how some people can dislike Jacob.  I was pretty neutral in New Moon, but I completely despised Jacob by the end of Eclipse.  However on her fan boards there were people gushing about Jacob so to each his own.

I liked Jacob in New Moon, because if it wasn't for him, Bella probably wouldn't be around. Eclipse totally changed my mind on the whold Jacob thing. He's a brat.

I love the series.  I like Edward best.  he really does love Bella and does not want her turned because he likes her the way she is.  I think it is sweet that he is that way..  But we all know Bella is stubborn and is determined.  but i haven't read the last book yet,  getting it this weekend from my younger cousin.

I just finished Eclipse last night - wow!  I never cared before to read any paranormal books before I started on this series, and I must say, I'm totally hooked.  Now I'll have to wait forever for the next installment.

LOL. My friend and I are in the same boat. We read the first 3 fast and now we're waiting on the next one. The only good thing is we went to Stephenie Meyer's signing here in GA. It was cool, but she didn't say too much about the next one. We were like "We NEED details!" lol. Great books, though. I don't usually read that kind of stuff, but she really pulls you into that world. :)

My daughters love these books, but they keep lending them to everyone else so I havent been able to get a hold of it.  Next time I see it lying around I'm grabbing it before it gets loaned out again!

This is my first paranormal experience as well and I LOVED all three and am desperate for the next one! I didn't even know they were YA! For those of you that read paranormal all the time, are there other authors to try while impatiently waiting?  I would like something simillar to these.

Oh, I am. I'm 25 and completely addicted to this series.  I've read the 3 books, I have the collection of short stories by other authors called A New Dawn, I've watched the Twilight trailor and any other clips I can find on the movie... I have the movie poster on my wall, Breaking Dawn has been pre-ordered.

I am officially addicted. :)

I'm 28 years old and I really enjoyed all the Twilight series.  Cannot wait for Midnight Sun.  I read the first chapter excerpt and cannot wait to read it from Edward's perspective.

I still am a Jacob fan but not so much Bella/Jacob.  Despite the objections of many fans, I was happy with the ending of BD, but I'm a fan of the "happy ever after for now" ending.
