After seven long months of reading the ‘Outlander’ series, I really didn’t need to dive right into another series. But I felt almost sad saying goodbye to the main characters in the book, Jamie and Claire. I needed a diversion.
I am going to flat out be honest. I got totally sucked into (no pun intended) ‘The Twilight” series. I have avoided the pop-culture phenomenon quite easily until it was suggested as a read for my book club. I even went so far as to relentlessly tease the woman in our book club that suggested it. I accused her of being into ‘teenage romance.’ Well…hook-line-and-sinker, I am a total vampire fan. I love Edward and Bella.
Literally, I sunk my teeth into all four books. DONE. Once again, I lost a lot of sleep. My house is in disarray. And I have avoided some necessary work.
I am pleading…please do not suggest anymore series that I am going to sink my teeth into. I need sleep.
Maybe I was giving off some ‘vampire vibes’ today because Emerson appeared at my side as I was trying to finish up the final few chapters with these…

See a front page story in today’s New York Times, “A Trend With Teeth,” and the two slide shows. I guess vampires are in, at least topical.

I am another “sucker” for the Outlander and Twilight series. I think we must be needing a form of escape from 4 kids and a crazy life!
