A fire in the heart.

Being addicted on something makes a person go crazy. In my case, as all of you might have read on my previous posts, I have been addicted to books especially the Twilight series. See, I’m writing about it again. And probably, this might not be the last.

My friends and family are really surprised how the series moved me in a way that I get crazy when I am not reading it. It’s like it’s the only thing that would make me sane. Give me the book and I’ll definitely be quiet. Quietly reading and feeling what I’m reading.

It makes me wish I was Bella. It makes me feel that I live in Forks and I am part of the story. It’s like hypnotizing me in a way that I get crazy about it. Crazy and happy.

Edward Cullen changed my opinion on vampires. I may have not seen them face-to-face but yes, it made me want to see them; thinking that they might be the same as Edward. Before I’d think that vampires are really scary, for one, they love human blood. Now it made me think, is there a possibility that a vampire like the Cullen’s exist? Like another Edward Cullen?

And now I’m waiting impatiently for Breaking Dawn, the last book to complete the series. It will be released here on August 4. It’s just a few days away, but you know, I hate waiting. And it sucks that I have finished the 3rd book, I have nothing else to read while waiting for the 4th one. Well, I tried reading other books but I just can’t. So I have watched the Twilight movie trailer for the nth time.

Taking a break.

I am back from my very short break! If you have noticed, I haven’t been blogging since Tuesday. I have been blogging in my mind lately, thinking that when I get home from work, I will be able to type it away. But no, my hands were busy doing something else, turning pages and pages of the book I’m currently reading. And this has to do with my addiction to Stephenie Meyer’s books.

In a span of 2 weeks, I have read 3 books: Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. And this was the first time. Usually, it would take me a month (or even longer) to read a book. But this time, it was different. I feel so crazy when I’m actually not reading anything. Especially when I was in the office, I can’t wait to get home and read the book. Well, I didn’t think I could finish 2 books in just 2 days.

When reading these books, it gives me a feeling that I am part of it. And yes, sometimes I would even wish I was Bella. It was so different and touching and it moved me all the time. Having a werewolf best friend and a vampire boyfriend, it was just so surreal. Words aren’t enough, really. And I couldn’t really put into words what I feel about the book. So amazing!

My mom was even surprised, that lately, she would see me in my room reading a book until it was time for me to sleep. I found it funny when she asked me, “You read books?” Well, yes I do but not as addictive as I am now. This is because I think that last time she saw me read a book was when I was still in school. Well, not really. I love reading books.

And it’s just making me crazy waiting for the 4th book to arrive. Soon, I hope. Oh, and I am truly excited for the Twilight movie too.

It's twilight!

I enjoy reading books when I have nothing else to do. I usually finish a book in a couple of days regardless of how thin or thick it might be. My latest read is Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

It is a love story between a human and a vampire which actually moved me in most parts. If you think about it, it’s quite impossible for a human to actually fall in love with a vampire (and vice versa). In reality, people are afraid of vampires and so I think it will be impossible for them to be a couple. But, I really love the story! I need to have the second book! Haha. I finished the whole book earlier than usual, about 1 ½ days.

I suggest everyone to read it. It’s definitely a love story with bite!

“About three things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him –
And I didn’t know how dominant that part might be –
That thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably
In love with him.”

- Twilight, Stephenie Meyer
