I was a sophomore in high school when I was first introduced to the novels by Stephenie Meyer, the films had not been released yet. A friend saw me reading a Fear Street book by R.L. Stine, one of my favorite authors since middle school. She recommended I read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer and was raving about it saying I was going to love it.

As soon as I got home I began reading Twilight and realized it was one of those type of books you can’t put down. All four novels had been released and I read them all in less than two weeks. By December of that year, the film based on the first book was soon to be release and I couldn’t be more excited. Similarly to my friend, it was all I talked about and was anxiously waiting for the movie.
