The Saga Continues . . . for Jason

Some of you might remember that last winter I broke down and read the Twilight Saga. Like most others who have read it, I quickly became addicted to the story and flew through the books, hurrying to the bookstore to get each novel after finishing the previous one.

When I got to the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, however, my turn had come up to borrow it from the library (I'd put holds on some of the others but this was the only one that became available right when I was ready to read it). So although I found out how the story ended, my collection remained incomplete. Until now, that is.

 

A month or so ago, someone was talking about the movie Twilight, and I suggested to Jason that he see it--so that when the second movie comes out later this fall he'll be able to watch it with me.

 

Jason commented that he'd rather read the book, so a few days later, I put the novel on his pillow (he usually reads Star Trek novels in bed, so I hardly thought he'd find this to be worse!).

 

My plan worked even better than I thought it would. Jason got so into Twilight that he almost brought it with him to the hospital when I went into labor with Alaina. He was so dedicated to reading New Moon that he commented he felt he was turning into a vampire--staying up so late to read. Eclipse took him less than a week, and now he is ready to find out how it all ends . . . only, we don't own the last book.

I offered to put a hold on Breaking Dawn so he can read it when it becomes available at the library, but he's pretty adamant that we need to buy it.

 

To complete the collection, you know.
