I had planned to accomplish some things this weekend. But I was highly pressured by someone (okay, Nicole) into reading these books. She strongly suggested I buy all three because, she said, I would really, really want to read the second one after I finished the first and so on.
I didn't listen to her. I bought the first book and sat down yesterday morning just to read for a little bit. The next thing I knew it was 4:00pm. I had just finished a particularly angsty and swoon-worthy chapter about 2/3 of the way through the first book and knew for certain I would be needing the next book the minute I'd completed this one. I stood up, a bit wobbly and fuzzy-headed, partly from reading for hours but mostly from the book itself. I fumbled toward my car keys and announced to Greg that I had to go to Wal-mart, the closest store with books, immediately.
Since then I've done little else but sit in a chair and read. I want to go on about things that are happening in the books, but I don't want to spoil it for y'all. But I completely understand the need to talk about this book series. So if you're into vampires with tortured souls (a la Angel, but different, and -may Joss Whedon strike me down- possibly better!) go get these books and then call me when you're done.
I am so with you here! Now if we could just get Kiernan to try them...
