By the light of the teenage moon

This past weekend our family traveled to Wisconsin to hang out with Adam’s dad’s side of the family.  We do this annually and it always proves to be a great time filled with family, golf, copious amounts of alcohol, usually some type of water entertainment for the kiddies and then anything else we can seem to drum up.   And this year was no different as we hung out by Lake Michigan for four days.

Before we left town my book club picked a new book, Twilight.  As we took off in the car last Thursday I found myself reading for almost 5 1/2 hours straight while the road went whizzing by my window.  Sucked straight into the world of vampires and teenage unrequited love.  I, a 39 year old woman with three kids who has been married for let’s call it many years, swallowed that shit hook, line and sinker.  I downed that book in three days and could not keep myself from wanting more.

There were several people at the reunion who had also read the book and then we were lucky enough to have Ryan (a non Sellke for those wondering) in the house to do a dramatic reading for us by the light of the moon, can’t you see the smoldering eyes?

The day we left I asked Adam to swing by Shopko before we hit the road to see if I could find the second book, New Moon.  Bingo, and there went 5 1/2 more hours with the vampires.

If you need a little candy this summer, pick it up.  I promise, you’ll like it, but please don’t expect great literature with this one, just a good time.
