I got it!

My friend Martha Bigler and I went to B&N last night for the Breaking Dawn release party.Two of my sisters, Christine and Katie, came a little later with my mom. I have never seen B&N so packed. There were people everywhere, and many of the teenagers were dressed up for the prom. (That was the theme for the party.) Many more people had on t-shirts. They had a raffle going for a free book, front of the line pass, an art contest for a free book, an area set up for prom photos, a costume contest and hundreds of people waiting for 12:01 when they could start selling the books. When you got there, in order to get your book you had to sign in and get your character's name to determine which group you would be able to buy your book with.

At about 12:15 they were just gathering the second group of people allowed to purchase books, and we were in group 4. Someone said that they went across the street to Wal-Mart to get their book because they got sick of waiting in line. My mom and Katie drove to Wal-Mart to see if there were any books left. When they got there they grabbed the books for all of us, and we left to go get our books. I was really excited because I was going to go home and be able to read for a while before I went to bed.

Unfortunately, my plans got changed, and I haven't been able to start reading it yet. It's the longest book yet at 754 pages. At the end of the book it says "THE END" so I think this will probably be the final book in the series. I can't wait to read it.

YEA!! I got my book too. I'm so excited. We went to the midnight party at B&N in Bountiful, UT. I have only been able to read about 5 pages today because I've been cleaning or been so tired from staying up till 1:00am...not something I usually do. Whatever you do, though, don't read the "Vampire Index" at the back of the book...it gives things away.

I'm reading on my breaks today at work... I'm on page 513 so far! I can say that at least one of your friends on the blog (including family) got it right so far. Can't wait til we're all finished and can talk openly about the book!!
