Twilight.

I have a new obsession.

I've been hearing rave reviews about this book for the past couple months. I was slightly intrigued but I never felt compelled to read it because of the fact that the book was about vampires (vampires aren't really my thing).


One day at work, one of my Dad's assistants, Anna, asked me if I had heard of the book. Apparently, the book takes place in Forks, Washington; a town close to where I am in Sequim. Anna lives in Forks and had received a note from her daughter's teacher saying that the desciption of the house the vampires lived in described her house exactly! Then, I went and looked up the book online and come to find out, the author graduated from BYU!

I bought the book the next day and could not put it down; I was hooked. I read the entire 500 page book in 24 hours and started reading it again right when I finished. It is so good! I can't even put into words how great the book is.


Ally and my mom are obsessed with the book too and on Monday, we went down to Forks and had a "Twilight" day.




The Cullen's House (where the vampires live)
The book describes it as a white, 3-story, 100 year-old house with a meadow like lawn along the Sol Duc river outside of town.

Forks High School

Bella Italia in Port Angeles... mushroom ravioli wasn't on the menu.

Newton's Olympic Outiftter (really called Forks Outfitters)

Thriftway: Where Bella buys her groceries.

We're going to go down to La Push to see First Beach next time Ally and I are in town.

This book really is amazing. There is a second one out called "New Moon" (which I finished in about 24 hours as well and am about to read again) and a third one called "Eclipse" which comes out in August. I highly recommend everyone to go out and buy it right now... you will not regret it.

Just a warning to you though. You WILL become obsessed with it and you WILL fall in love with Edward Cullen.

Hey. I'm cynthia. I'm here with my friend Kate. We stumbled across your page when we were browsing Forks pictures. We are planning to go on a "twilight trip" similar to yours. We wanted to know where you found the Cullen's house and possibly the bella italia and other twilight related places. We know where the high school is and the thriftway, so we don't need those locations. But if you could let us know that would be amazing! We really appreciate it! Thank you so much!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
