I just can't imagine it getting any better than it already is. But then again, I think I'm a little bit afraid of what will become of me if I get any more immersed than I already am.

I have always loved reading, the escape that it provides. But I have NEVER experienced anything like this. It seems so...REAL.

Is there something wrong with me?

Thanks for the thoughts. I'm so glad I found this community. I watch the trailers every day, multiple times. And I found the scene from the Penelope DVD online yesterday - and I can't get it out of my mind. I actually stopped breathing when I saw it.

I can't imagine it getting any better than it already is. Although, what will become of me if I let myself get any more immersed in this world? Already my hubby is feeling a little insecure, I think.

I have always loved reading books, ever since I was a little kid. The escape that it provided was always magical to me. But this is different. This world seems so REAL to me.

Ugh - is there something wrong with me?

there is nothing wrong with you!!

I know what you mean - you open the book - and it's like the whole world just melts into the background behind you and you are there - in Forks - part of it all.
It's the best escape ever - and I'm not ashamed of it one bit

Ive tried reading other vampire books, hoping that at the very least my obsession would lighten. I still come back to Edward. maybe once the hockey season starts, that is usually my obsession, so this is quite the departure for me. I cant explain it. I think that is the most frustrating. Sometimes I feel like Im going to burst!! Like when I heard that MS may never be published. Then when I see the movie trailer. I think I might burst! I dont know it isnt a completely comfortable feeling.

I bought the Penelope DVD just for the trailer....not that it wasnt a cute movie...

I haven't finished the books yet...I just started reading them last week and now that I'm almost finished with Eclipse I feel like I'm really dragging it out. I don't want it to be over!! The only way I can describe how I feel about the books it to compare it to first love. The anticipation I feel when I know I get to go home and read is just like the anticipation I felt when I was heading to my hubby's house for a date (before we were married! lol) the giddiness, the blushing, the giggling that I do when I read is what I did (and still do!) with him. The longing that I feel when I realize how far away the movie is, the sadness that I feel when I realize that I only have one book left!! The same feelings I had when he and I were apart for any length of time. I sound ridiculous, I know!! I honestly can't imagine being more obsessed than I already am.

Well the other day my friend told me that there must be something wrong with me because I have gotten so obsessed. I've watched the trailers several times and am not happy unless I read at least part of one of the books daily. She told me she's afraid I'm having some kind of break down. Now she's got me wondering if I'm losing it. Is there really something wrong with me that I can't let this go?

edited to say - I'm sorry this posted twice! Guess there is at the very least something wrong with my computer skills!

I've decided that there are just too many of us that seem to feel the same way - so there can't be anything wrong with us!!!! The books get better with each re-vamp and I too can't seem to move onto other books. I have re-read the Host, and may again after I finish BD (for the 6th or 7th time) - before I return to the beginning and re-vamp one more time.

I bought the Penelope movie for the trailer - have yet to watch the movie though - just keep watching the trailer!! And I don't see anything wrong with this either - That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!!!!

Well said. I dragged it out too. Whenever I sat down to read new parts, I would re-read all my favorite parts.

I HAVE to watch the trailer daily, multiple times throughout the day.

I'm so so so glad that there are so many of us who feel the same way.

i thought i was the only weird one with the whole movie trailer thing lol.. on my blog I even made a page dedicated to some of my favorite videos and interviews I've found from the twilight movie.. i watch all of them atleast once daily, sometimes more lol

So lucky you guys are here to provide some perspective.. cause I just moved.. AND DON'T HAVE ANYBODY to tell me I'm going crazy..
I look everywhere for info on MS, on Rob, on Twilight the movie.. it really has taken over my free time.. and also my not so free one.. (have to force myself not to blog at work in case someone it watching)
I kinda want my boring life back.. but this rush of emotions and angst and anxiousness is not something I have a choice over.. at the same time I'm loving every moment of it!

When I finished reading BD for the first time I thought that would be it. Like any other good book I'd put it down and occasionally in conversation be able to say "that was a really good book". Ha! I'm not sure if I even lasted 24 hours before I decided I needed to reread them. So, I started back with Twilight and I'm starting BD for the 2nd time (I only first heard of these books 2 or 3 weeks ago!). I now have accepted the fact that I will continue reading them as many times as it takes to become tired of them. If that's possible! I'm seriously thinking I should buy the boxed set so I'll have another set when I wear these out. Reading them the 2nd time is even better than the first time - I pick up things I missed the first time. I'm able to slow down and enjoy every word. I've never had this kind of experience with any other book and I did think I might be "losing it" until I read how many other women are feeling the same thing. Thank goodness for Twilight Moms. I say - just keep reading for as long as you want. This is a good thing.

I don't know if I'm posting this in the right thread, but when I saw the title, I thought it was appropriate. It's been a long, long time since I got so caught up in a story. I don't know; I'm a bookworm and I'll be honest; I'm not a huge fan of first-person narrative.

But right away, I noticed there was just something so ethereal about the way Twilight was written that drew me in. I felt the intensity, couldn't pull out of it and had to literally force my hand to place the bookmark at the page and close the book. This might sound silly, but I felt like a phantom in the actualy story, trailing Bella around everywhere she went! I was completely tuned out of the environment as I read, so that if the kids or my husband called me, they had to come over and tap me on the shoulder, I was that transfixed. I can't explain it, but I know you all understand which is an incredible feeling! So yes, I consider myself completely and utterly, irrevocably dazzled.

I hope that the intensity NEVER goes away....I know that I have probably posted here before...lol....who knows....but, I have read each book twice and I am working on my second go 'round with the audiobooks! and....I am afraid that I will never tire of them and I don't want to! so you ladies are in good company (and so am I) and I LOVE IT! I could ramble on for days, but I will stop here, but never stop loving or reading this series.....
