This week has been a very intense one for me. The first time yet that I felt so absorbed and wrapped up in the world of literary fiction. I couldn't put into words how much it captured me - there are simply none. I have read the whole Twilight series 3 times in only 5 days. I know, right. Fanatic is a huge understatement. It just pulled me in like a magnet to steel and there was no way to fight that. The connection was too strong that after having finished all four books the first time, I went over to Mike and hugged him for a long time and sobbed heavily as he cradled me in his arms. I knew that if I even try to pull away, I will not be able to function well so I succumbed to it until I was sure that I was ready to face reality again.
So, yeah, I'm back.
Sigh.

| You must be the fifth person who I have seen hideaway for the sake of the Twilight series! I just picked up the first book in the bookshop and it's waiting on the shelf for me to read after my current books. Is it really that good? Welcome back though :) We missed you. |

| i guess there's something about being able to relate to the love in that book..you hugging and sobbing to the hubby was sad but sweet :) |

| Oh Gracey LOL Now you know how my last 2 weeks have been like as well. All because of Twilight! Prying yourself away from the books and getting back into your usual real world groove seems to be the hardest but you'll deal ;) |

| Are you an Edward or Jacob girl? :D And wow, the Twilight world is so consuming 'no?! It just swallows you whole and you invest so many emotions in the series! Gah! |
