Must Read!


No, my blog isn't necessarily the must read, BUT the Twilight books are. I somehow missed out on the craze while I was in Utah, but everyone in my ward here seems to have read them. I was feeling so out of place :). If you haven't already heard of these books, let me set you straight, so you know from the beginning...they are a teenage romance about vampires. They sound odd enough, but I have become quite addicted. The author Stephenie Meyer graduated from BYU. She wrote the first novel Twilight a few years ago, and so far she has completed three of the books in the series. Just so you know, these books knocked Harry Potter off of the top spot on the New York Best-seller list.

I feel like I am confessing when I share this, but I borrowed the first one last Wednesday and was finished by Saturday. I had arranged to borrow the second one on Sunday, but I couldn't wait...so I went and bought the second one (New Moon) Saturday evening. I finished it Monday night. Yesterday I wasn't feeling so hot (long story), so I came home from work at 11:00. On my way home I purchased the 3rd one, and immediately began reading...so here is where my story takes a turn for the worse. When I was on page 178 of 629, the doorbell rang and much to my dismay, the FedEx man was standing there with a box containing my Becker CPA review course...I have devoted my ENTIRE last week to these books, but now they have a little competition! I am torn, I really want to find out what happens to my little vampire friends! Oh well, my studies can wait one more day!!!

So here is some advice for my accountant friends...don't even pick them up until the CPA exam is finished!!
