Would be cool if you did try them out megan! heres a description i found (i just tried to write one, but it came out so bad! haha) - Bella Swan is a girl just trying to survive Forks, Washington- the town with the worst weather in the United States- because her mother's just married a baseball player. Edward Cullen is one of five teenagers adopted by the amazingly intelligent and handsome Dr. Cullen, and all he wants is to guard his eerily beautiful family's secret- that they're all vampires, immortals, who've given up hunting humans. Soon Edward and Bella are caught up in a whilrwind and unorthodox romance. Edward has to deal with keeping the "vegetarian" lifestyle as he falls further in love with Bella, whose blood has a scent sweeter than anyone on the planet's? Or, more importantly, can he protect her from his enemy James who doesnt have the same amount of control? The book is basically really nice, its a nice calm type read (one that doesnt take that much thinking) its really cute, and happy in the end

Sounds really interesting. I will have to see if I can find it to get it and read. I think it might be good, and something I could be interested in.

Cool! ;D I was the same, i had so many people recommending it to me on another forum.. i went into a bookshop and found it there, i wasnt sure if i would be interested in vampires, i got it anyway- and i found it so so so interesting! They're not your normal 'hollywood- (aka coffins, bats..) type vampires also Hopefully you enjoy it though! If you get it that is! ;D

Its not really new.. it is the latest in the series though, it came out over here last august i think.. the last in the series- breaking dawn is coming out august 2008 here and in the USA.. i think thats the problem they take ages with the translation copies for them, bit annoying really lol

Yeah, normally it doesn't takes so long. 5 months for Harry Potter, but that's a populair book and this one probably isn't so much. But it is translated in dutch, that's more that will be done with books of Nicholas Sparks

Twilight is a popular book, true it isnt quite as popular as harry potter but it has sold over 50 million worldwide, so im kind of surprised the translations so slow.. Thats weird with the Nicholas sparks books! Do they only sell them in english then?!

In Belgium and German was the translation of Harry Potter a month earlier out than here. And yeah, they just don't translate them, so you can buy them in english, but than you have to order them and the company that delivers our books orders it in America/England, so it take a few weeks before it's here.

I love John Grisham - I read almost all of his books and the boojs are far better than the films.
I also like Erich Segal - his books are really good and a quick read, although some of his books are long, like The Class.
Now I'm reading the Gossip Girl series and I like it, it's funny and relaxing.
