Bella and Edward series by Stephenie Meyer
I just discovered this series last week and I just finished the third book today! It is really a great series. Sounds silly and corny I am sure but a real page turner.
The books in order are
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
A average highschool girl falls in love with an other worldly boy at her highschool only to discover he is part of a vampire family. A "vegetarian" vampire family, meaning they have vowed only to eat animal blood never human. You can imagine the struggles of their love story but it is very well written and fast paced with lots of action and tug of war on the line between human emotions and vampire emotions.
Lots of fun!

I just finished reading Twilight and totally loved it. I am waiting for New Moon to be delivered in a few days. The problem, I must confess, is that curiosity was stronger than me this time because and I definitely had to read some reviews for Eclipse...
Right now, I am sort of confused because I got to know *the following might be a spoiler*

My daughter is a huge fan of this series.
You know the author hangs out here at FORT.

Seriously!!! how do you know?? Here is a big toast to her! I have now bought three sets of the series to pass out to friends and family because I want to keep my own as I am immediately re-reading them! I know it is found in the teen lit section but I am quite a few decades from being a teen and I couldn't put them down.
I am now constantly imagining the movie casting and hearing the perfect soundtrack. In paticular during the first meadow scene in Twilight I happened to be listening to Patty Griffin's heavenly day and it was so perfect for that part.
Malena don't worry too much that is the problem with spoilers they often only give you part of the picture.
Stepanie Meyer if your reading this give a shout out or a private pm would love to hear from you!

Other Forters told me. I think if you go into the what are you reading now, its mentioned again. I first heard this about a year or so ago.

She mentions FORT in the acknowledgements page in Twilight. :)
I read in the New York Times that there was an initial printing of 1 million books for Eclipse which is just an amazing number.
I did like Eclipse, but not as much as the first two because

Yes, Stephenie was a frequent poster when I joined FORT.. but her life has gotten quite crazy since then. :D
Not that I ever truly knew her, but I still get a surge of pride when I see her EVERYWHERE getting rave reviews, and special promotions in my Borders email, etc. Those of the long time FORTers that knew her well must be feeling that tenfold. :nod
Re: Bella and Edward series by Stephanie Meyer
Those of us who went to the first FORTCon in Chicago (what year was that, again, 2004) got to meet Stephenie (and her lovely husband) back before she was a famous author. I love these books and am finishing up Eclipse right now, so avoiding ending spoilers ****I can't hear you blah blah blah**** And yes, I'm always so proud of her when I see her being interviewed for the books. :teeth I knew her when *sniff*
Re: Bella and Edward series by Stephanie Meyer
Well love Eclipse because I was so worried all the way through new moon! Having to reread the series now because it will be a year before the next one I am sure!! Dang it!
