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

I kept seeing bumper stickers on facebook saying, "I love Edward Cullen", and "Team Jacob"... I had no idea what they meant. Then one morning on the way to work, I heard the DJ talk about how much she loved the Twilight Saga, so I figured I would give it a shot.

I bought the first one, and finished it in one day, and returned to the bookstore ASAP to purchase the other 3. I started reading them in September of 08 and finished Breaking Dawn in October of 08. I've even read anything and everything that S.M. puts on her website. I hope she will release Midnight Sun because I really enjoy reading Edward's P.O.V.

Since that point, I've tried a few other books, but can't find anything that I love as much. So I'm reading the books again. I'm currently in the middle of New Moon... again.

Team Edward or Team Jacob? Why?

Team Edward.
I think that Jacob is sweet, but he is too strong for her. (not in the literal sense). Edward is everything that she is unable to find in anyone else. I was Team Switz for awhile, until I read Breaking Dawn... Team Edward 100%

Which Character Are You Most Like?

I would say Alice. Physically - I have short brown hair, and am petite, so literally I am most like her... but my personality matches as well. I am always concerned for those I love, and I'm a total girly-girl. She's passionate, fun, and a soft place for everyone to fall. I hope that my loved ones see me that way. As much as I'd like to be in Bella's shoes (because of Edward), she is a magnet for drama, and I'm not like that.

Favorite Books

My favorite books out of the Saga are "Twilight" & "Breaking Dawn". I see myself loving "Midnight Sun" when/if it's released. I L.O.V.E what I've read so far. I only wish that we could hear about Edwards experience in New Moon. I hope the movie will touch on that with Steph's help.

Other books - "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close", "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" and "Catcher In The Rye"
