Five Things Everyone Should Know About You?

I've been married for 16 years to a Charlie-a-like (in every way)!
I have 3 fabulous sons aged 3, 12, and 15 :o)
I'm a vegetarian, stay-at-home mum, and 'carer' for my 12yr old who has insulin-dependent diabetes and epilepsy. However he is very sporty and doesn't let it get in the way :o)
I used to be lonely till I found this site (and gained a best friend on the other side of the world!)
Twilight is my life now...

When Did You First Read Twilight (year) and how many times have you read a Twilight Book (total)?

I bought all 4 books at the same time in January 2009 + read them all one after the other. Started re-reading them after reading Midnight Sun on Stephenie's website. Can't seem to focus on any other books so gave up and started the re-read! Didn't want to see the film until I'd read all the books.

Team Edward or Team Jacob? Why?

I'm gonna have to be Switzerland! They both have wonderful qualities and Bella would have been lucky to be with either of them. Rob is gorgeous and so is Taylor so I just can't choose!

Which Character Are You Most Like?

I'm part Bella - unsure of myself, low self-esteem, self-conscious, and a bit clumsy but loving with all my heart, part Esme - always putting her family first and wanting everyone else to be happy, and part stroppy mare Rosalie LOL

Favorite Books

Apart from the Twilight saga? Somewhere in Time by Richard Matheson. It's an absolutely beautiful book about lost love (sob - and a great film too).
'Fallen' and 'Torment' by Lauren Kate
'Hush, Hush' and sequel by Becca Fitzpatrick
