Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn --- Stephenie Meyer

What can I say? Read these books one right after the other -- just finished the last one and if I was 20 years younger, I would probably read them all over again. As it is now, I'm staring at the other books that I've lined up to read next and thinking (girlishly) "no. no. no. you'll never capture my heart like Edward and Bella have!" I've never been one for romance fiction or vampire fiction (see Anne Rice), but this had me from the beginning; it really is quite ridiculous and I do feel embarrassed about it.

Can't wait to read the next one - wish I was married to a vampire; wish my best friend was a werewolf. Yes, I really did just write that - it's very embarrassing.

Liked the books because the characters rang true (despite the fact that they were vampires and werewolves), and they were inventive (baseball played by vampires during a thunderstorm? GENIUS!), yet ultimately frustrated by these (at times) overwritten tomes whereby the climax is decidedly anticlimactic.
