Dear Stephenie Meyer,
You have a gift. The only people I worry about more than Jacob Black are my immediate family members. I purposefully didn't read Breaking Dawn last night so that I might get some sleep. Even so, I woke up at 4:15 dreadfully worried about what would happen to Jacob! I forced myself back into the bed without reading, knowing that if I'd picked up that book I wouldn't have slept another wink.
My mornings are pretty full: breakfast, a lunch, a backpack, 2 kids, a husband, myself, and a number of cats to get ready for the day. But when I'm reading one of your books I CAN'T sleep at night.
I realize Jacob is a fictional werewolf, and that ultimately I think Bella belongs with Edward. But my unconscious has forced me to switch teams somewhere between Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I am now firmly planted in "Team Jacob". It would help if my own husband weren't so tall and dark, and if I didn't have Native American blood in my own family. I've always been a vampire person, but this werewolf has changed everything.
Jacob has replaced Luis. That's kind of major! A teenage werewolf has replaced Brad Pitt as melancholy vampire.
I feel like a silly girl. And yet I'm perfectly happy squealing to my husband, who hasn't read the new book yet, about all the things I can't tell him. I'm very glad these books appeared now, and not when I was in junior high. I would have been a serious "Twi-hard" and hung posters and bought all of the music. Oh my...
To end let me just say thanks for giving this chubby mommy a taste of the giggles and sqees again. It's fun, but I need to sleep!
Sincerely,
MzEll
P.S. I apologize to anyone who has not read the Twilight books (but go get them, please! group insomina!).
P.P.S I do not like the actor chosen to play Jacob in the Twilight movie. He is neither tall nor Native American, so I have no picture to post!

Bought books one and two today. I'm not really into vampires but I also didn't think I would like the Harry Potter series and those were good. So, I'm going to see what all of the chatter is about.
Thanks for the recommendation!
*groan* You all are going to MAKE me read these, aren't you? And yet I've heard the writing quality is so awful it makes people want to stab themselves in the eyes. I don't know if I can face it even if she's as wonderful a story-teller as everyone also seems to agree.
