Crystal

I just won tickets to a private showing of Twilight!  Do I need to read the book before then?

Re: Crystal

  • ok first of all *extremely jealous*

    when is it? you don't *need* to but i would recommend doing so. the book is awesome and it'll only make you so much more excited for the movie. if you don't get a chance to read it before you see the movie definitely do read it afterwards. there's some great stuff that i know did not make the movie

  • I may get the book at lunch.  Its a private showing at Wynnsong on Friday night.  I'm kind of excited, but DH is iffy.
  •  Butting in, Amy I AM TOTALLY JEALOUS!!!  Like Crystal said, I would read the book, b/c there's nothing that will take the place of how you feel when you're reading the book.  The movie looks like it follows the book really close, yet I'm sure they've taken some parts out.
  • I heard her name announced on the radio and totally gave her crap about it.

    Uh Amy you realize this book is bigger than the size of Harry Potter?!!?!? (if I remember from what I saw in the bookstore the other day).  There's no way I could read that by Friday!!!!

    Hope yall have fun, I've felt like crap all week, otherwise I might have gone w/Crystal.

  • I'm a really fast reader.  I mean REALLY fast.  I finished the last Harry Potter in less than a day.  And most of them in 1.5 days. 
  • I can't do that, not with work, trying to make dinner, and go to bed early when you have to be up at 4:45!!!!

    More power to ya!!!

  • I still plan on cooking and going to work while I read it Wink
  • uh, yeah but you can stay up late and not get up at the butt crack of dawn.  and my reading skills are lacking, it takes me a while to read.

    but more power to ya girlie!!!  You'll have to let me know how it is.

  • Amy, I finished the book in a day and a half, I couldn't put it down.
  • just got back from class so let me see if i can remember what all was said to reply to.

    Amy- if you can read a HP book in that short of time Twilight will be a breeze. if i'm not mistaken, i believe twilight is 498 pages and since you're not watching it until friday you'll have plenty of time. i don't remember how long it took me to read it but i was done within 12 hours of starting.

    Katie - i'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well *hugs*

  • oh yeah..what time friday are you going?
  • Amy, you can ready it by Friday no doubt :)  I hope you love it!!

  • Its at 7.  And if its under 500 pages, I should be able to finish it pretty quickly.  I hope they have it at Wal-Mart.  I'm going after it and the Hairspray soundtrack at lunch.
  • thanks Crystal.  I switched BCP to seasonique and you're supposed to start them right away after you finish your other BCP (dr told me) on a Sun even if you skip your period (sorry if that's TMI) so I'm skipping and he said I might get slight headaches from it, so I still have to take the other med for my migraines to alleviate that during this week - phew I just want to sleep!!!
  • i was at walmart on college yesterday and i'm pretty sure i saw it with the movie cover (i like books with the original covers)

    adam and i will be there for a 7pm showing friday as well so if you see us (i have a feeling it's going to be a mad house) come and say hi!

    i still can't believe he's agreed to see it midnight tomorrow night AND friday.lol

  • oh wow..yeah that's gotta be tough. i'm thinking when i go in for my annual about asking to switch my pills as well. i'm on ortho-cyclin and it hasn't done anything for cramps or flow

    I'm on the generic for Yasmin, and my cramps and flow have gotten SO MUCH BETTER.  I was non-functional on the first day of my period. 

  • I am really thinking about reading the book.  I'm am soooo not into vampires but I've heard people still like it that aren't into that.  I'm just afraid of getting addicted to the books.

    I've never liked vampires either, but now I'm hooked on True Blood on HBO...and also started reading Twilight 2 nights ago and can't wait to see the movie.  If you would have told me a month ago that I would be this excited about vampires, I would have said you were crazy!

    my mom and best friend aren't into vampire stuff (my mom considered buffy demonic..lol) but they both ate them up and my mom is re-reading the series already

    I second that w/Amy as I just switched from Yasmin and it was great.  I only went to the seasonique b/c of my migraines.

    yeah, DH LOVES True Blood, so we might get into these books, he likes series books too so who knows!!!!!  I might just get the first one and see.

  • FYI my nickname to my friends in ATL is "Buffy" b/c of my allergy w/garlic - that pps made me think of that!!!  ha!!!

  • OK - I am on page 350.  I REALLY like it, but I am hearing not so great things about the movie Sad

    how'd you like it? are you and edward or jacob girl? when are you starting eclipse? do you need to borrow it?

  • Are you in town?  If so, yes.  I need something to read on the ride to Augusta.  If not, I'll buy it...I can't wait til after Thanksgiving to read the next one.  This is how I devoured the first 3 Harry Potter books.  I can't decide about the Edward/Jacob thing.  At first I was mad about the lack of the Cullens, but Jacob really grew on me.
