So, the past ten days I have lost endless amounts of sleep, but it was all worth it. I began reading Twlight oh, 10 days ago and as of this morning, I finally read the words "the end." I have to admit, it is quite the bittersweet goodbye to the characters I have grown to love as if they became somewhat real while I spent a lot of my days with them. The competition between Jake and I where we would race to see who could find out what happened next and torture the other with the "I know what is going to happen" or.. "You will never guess what is coming" comments will also be missed. After reading the first two books, Jake watched the movies with me and he was instantly drawn into the magic. He started reading from the 3rd book when I did and the race was on. It was wonderful being able to get lost into something so different and then be able to spend an endless amount of time with someone you love talking, laughing, and arguing about what should have, could have, or just simply who our favorite characters were. The bitter part, it is over. Jake and I both felt a little gloomy this morning when we were finally done... it was kind of like one of those "Did that really just end?" sort of thing... but the sweet part- those deep belly-laughs and conversations are something I will not forget as we pick out the next challenge. Harry Potter maybe? Or, I was thinking of having him read the Hunger Games series.. so he can be caught up for when Mocking Jay comes out. So much to choose from and so many more fun times to be had- All with a good book by the way :) Isn't it kind of funny how lost in an imaginary world you can become and how wonderful it feels? I love it.
By the way...

I am TOTALLY Team Edward :)
(where as Jake stayed a little neutral with Team Emmett)
Go team Edward!!!
ReplyDeleteI say have him read the hunger games. they are short, you could totally read them aloud!
