Ok, this is really getting silly. Yesterday I left a message for a friend. It went a little something like this, "Hey Jane, just wondering if you had the third book...I didn't want to buy it if I could just borrow it...and if your husband gets this, please don't hold it against me that I'm reading these dumb books."
Then I walked into Barnes and Noble today (after looking at Shopko yesterday only to find a hardcover for $20), and searched and searched for the dumb thing. I could not SCRATCH THAT, would not bring myself to ask for help. Finally I found an entire table devoted to Stephanie Meyer and also found that this brilliant chickadee of course only published in hardcover because she (or her publisher) knew we couldn't stop at two AND #4 is also only in hardcover because it's the last book (but I already borrowed a copy of that one neener neener).
so...
I hereby (raising my right arm), swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help me even if I am reading the Twilight Series. So if you see me with the kids in Carl's Junior and the jacket is off Eclipse , it is only because it is bothersome, not because I am ashamed. And I can't wait to see the movie.
It's a good story.
The End
