I literally read them as though they were one (and have continued with Eclipse).  <\/p>\n<p>I do have to warn those who have not read it.  Be prepared to be sad, possibly angry, certainly depressed.  If it weren&#8217;t for my book club buddies, I would not have finished this book.  I started reading it on the same Saturday that I finished Twilight, the closing and opening of the covers no more than the turning of a page.  By Sunday I couldn&#8217;t go on.  I kept trying to force myself to continue but I was so depressed that I couldn&#8217;t even look at the book.  It was like a huge black brick that was just making me sick.<\/p>\n<p>I begged my buddies for some comfort.  Something, anything, that would help me continue.  After all, I was stuck on the story and wanted to see it to the end, no mater how painful it still may be.  Because of their supportive e-hugs I pressed forward and am so glad I did!<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t long after I thought I had quit that things really started picking up again.  Then things happened so fast!  On Thursday night we had a mini enrichment sewing class that I really wanted to go to, and was late for, because Bella had just barely landed herself in the alley in Italy.  It was 7:01 according to our cable box, and I was supposed to already be at the church (thankfully I&#8217;m across the street!), so I had to close the book and leave, knowing full well that by the time I got back it would be too late to stay up and continue.<\/p>\n<p>Work was painful knowing that Bella, Jacob and Edward were waiting for me in the car.<\/p>\n<p>Reality lines were blurred when a very fair teenager dressed fully in black crossed the street in front of me.  I could have sworn that she could smell me.  Thankfully I was on my way home from work after helping people switch offices so I wasn&#8217;t exactly &#8220;sweet&#8221; smelling.  Yes, I know that the vampires I love so much don&#8217;t wear black, but still.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to remember where that book ended and Eclipse began.  I&#8217;m about a third of the way into Eclipse, having started it on Friday night.  I can&#8217;t seem to take it in fast enough which, I know, is only going to leave me thirsty and pining for more in a few days.  Hey, at least I&#8217;ll finally be caught up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t really say that I got sucked in again because it&#8217;s not like I had a break between Twilight and New Moon.
