How did you find BookTalk.org?
1. Do NOT make an introduction post if you have no intention of interacting with us If you introduce yourself you'll be greeted by BookTalk.org members. We get excited when new people join and we take our time to give them a warm welcome. But if you don't plan to respond don't introduce yourself in the first place.
2. Create your own introduction thread It is rude to make your introduction in someone else's introduction thread.
3. Use a descriptive subject line for your introduction thread A subject line shouldn't simply be "Hi" or "My Intro." Try something unique. It is always good to use your username in your intro thread title.
4. If you're an author or publisher do NOT tell us about your books in this forum We have forums specifically for suggesting books, and this is not one of them. If you spam this forum your account will either be deleted or banned.
Authors & Publishers that would like to share their books with BookTalk.org members and visitors have several options available. For maximum visibility consider advertising on BookTalk.org.
If you're brand new to forums you might want to read our FAQ page.

Hello
Hello Everyone,
I found myself spending a lot of time in front of the computer screen and decided to make use of the online time by learning more about books and be able to participate in discussions that would enable me to grow and expand as a person. Thank you for allowing me to join the club.
The last books I've read are the Twilight series.

Hi, TyinLA!
Welcome to BookTalk!

Hello TyinLA,
I'm new here as well.
My girlfriend just finished Breaking Dawn. I think it took her all of a week to read the whole series.
There must be something special about those books, because she is overseas at the moment and has seen people reading them everywhere.
Haven't read them myself, though. Not sure if they're my thing.
I did not think they were my thing either, but I was curious.
The Twilight series were on sale at K-mart, and I began with first two, Twilight and New Moon, and of course, I ended up reading the entire series. The Eclipse was the book that I somehow paid least attention to. Breaking Dawn was okay... the motherly tone of a 18 year old brand new vampire did not seem as interesting. I mean, I could see through the author's own world view and her own experience of giving birth and being a mother. Bella's original character seemed have been lost in the process.

I really loved the twilight books, I read the whole series in a week in and a half. they do not have the oversexed lust most people want in a vampire book, but they are a good read and amazing love story.

Yes, it's an amazing love story.
Also gives us hope of existence of a higher and better life though not necessarily in the form of vampire world.

Yes, I find the whole thing very thought provoking, the Cullens are not normal Vampires, it makes you ponder whether such things are possible. And also makes me wonder about my future as Edward is always talking about his.
