Am I 14 or 47? Hard to say, by my latest reading obsession: the Twilight series. I finished all four books in 3-1/2 weeks, and with the busy-ness of my life right now, that is some kind of personal record for me. I just "finished" reading Midnight Sun on Stephenie Meyer's website last night. And now I'm depressed.
For those of you who don't know - and apparently live under a rock - Midnight Sun was to have been the fifth book in the series, and is a re-writing of the first book, Twilight, from Edward's point of view rather than Bella's.
And it's so goooo-ooood! *said in an extreme whining voice*
The problem is, the first 12 chapters were "leaked" onto the Internet last summer, and Stephenie Meyer feels so violated by that (as she has every right to be) that she has put the book aside, and says she doesn't know if she'll ever be able to come back to writing it! (She has now posted the draft of the first twelve chapters on her own site: StephenieMeyer.com).
And my problem is... I'm depressed by this! I cannot get enough Twilight! And Midnight Sun does such an amazing job of "rounding out" the story....
Oh please, Stephenie Meyer, (because I'm sure she'll be reading this!) take pity on us, the poor souls who came to the end of chapter twelve and feel like they just fell off a cliff.... (I really want to read the meadow scene!)

I'm 33. I finished the books in the same time span as you did. After Breaking Dawn, I went back to Twilight and read it side by side with Midnight Sun. I am so utterly depressed that she didn't at least make it to the meadow scene!!! Aaaaaggghhhhhhh... it hurts!!! Now I'm just making whimpering noises. Forgive me.

I'm with ya! I'm still whining about it, all these months later! Stephenie, please take pity on us!
