The Twilight Saga Complete 4 Book Set ( 1 Pb & 3 Hb ) (Twilight (pb) / New Moon (hb) / Eclipse (hb) / Breaking Dawn (hb))

"

They had sex, watching Twilight, eating ice cream and just snuggling, going to sleep at night on those mattresses with them dead upstairs.

They were Netflix and chilling. Just hanging out with some ice cream. There were alcohol bottles around. They're just hanging out. ... they watched all four Twilights.

"

the first book was published in 2005.

I have, we've been knee deep in Twilight... the rest of the books because it's going to be fun.

"

I think I read the time. Like, and again, we'll get way more into it, but I think I read all the Twilight books in like middle school. And then the movies came out when I was in like seventh grade. So I was fully team Edward.

We will be doing Twilight for our November bonus episode.

"

I can't wait, I'm gonna reread New Moon. Oh bitch, I gotta reread it. Yeah, I gotta order it. Oh yeah. I have it, I just gotta dig it out.

"

In the description of NewMoon, Stephanie wrote, for Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself. Edward Cullen.

"

Yeah, I did you know the character Edward he is just such a protector. So soft spoken. I'm afraid always there even his build was similar to Ryan's.

"

Forks was once a prosperous logging town. Today, it's better known as the hometown of dreamy fictional vampires, as in the movie Twilight.

Stephanie Meyer, the author of the Twilight books, said she picked Forks for its climate. She thought it was a logical habitat for vampires.

"

I was really into the Twilight books, so there is a lot of stuff about how much I love Twilight that is still on the internet if you Google me.

"

All right. In Twilight, what year did Edward Cullen turn into a vampire? ... Rudy guessed 1720, then 1820, then 1650, then 1514, then 1918, none of which were correct.

"

Twilight would be number one you think?

No, Harry Potter was way better than Twilight.

I kind of had a love-hate relationship with the Twilight series.

I was obsessed with them.

"

How Leavitt got obsessed with the Twilight books and what we would do if we won the lottery.

"

If I tallied up the number of books I read over a 20year period before I started this podcast, maybe I read 30 books in 20 years. ... they were almost all young adult fiction because mostly I just read the books that my kids were reading, like Harry Potter and the Twilight series.

"

Now you've always loved reading and around this time you fell in love with a very popular book series. What was it? It was The Twilight Saga.

And can you tell me a little bit about what The Twilight Saga is? I confess I have not read the books. What is their broad plot and what is it about?

Well, you know, I was turned on to The Twilight Saga when I dropped my kids off at elementary school and there was a group of moms clustered around. Megan was one of the moms, my friend, and they were all laughing hysterically.

And I went over and I said, hey, what's so funny? And Megan said, oh, I've been reading this romance novel that I absolutely love. And I went into the bookstore to try to get the sequel and I couldn't find it.

So I went up to the bookstore owner and I said, hey, you know, where's the sequel? And he said, it's in the teenager section.

So all the moms started cracking up. They thought that was the funniest thing. But she said, but you guys have to read it. It's so good.

So I said, okay, Megan, what is it called? Because I'm always looking for a good read, right?

She said, oh, it's called The Twilight Saga.

So I thought, okay, I'll give it a try. And it was absolutely mesmerizing for me. It was as if I had never read a novel in my life. And all of a sudden, this novel about a bunch of teenage vampires running around biting each other on the neck just absolutely transported me.

It was really weird.

So the Twilight books eventually spawned a very popular series of films.

I want to play you a clip from one of those movies. A teenage girl named Bella is confronting a boy she knows, Edward, about his true nature. I know what you are.

Say it out loud. Say it. Vampire.

Are you afraid?

No.

Okay.

So there are a lot of, you know, breathless pauses here, but I'm hearing, you know, fantasy paranormal stuff, but it sounds like an innocent enough pastime, Anna.

Oh, an innocent enough pastime? Sure. It always starts out innocent.

And of course, you know, it was, but what happened was it changed the way I felt in the moment in a way that resonated so deeply that I wanted to keep recreating that feeling.

And what was that feeling? It was essentially a feeling of non-being.

While I was reading the Twilight saga, it just transported me to another time and place such that I completely forgot myself.

And that self forgetting was clearly something that I needed and wanted.

You know, I read the whole saga.

I think it's like four books.

And then I wanted to recreate that feeling again.

So I read the whole saga again.

Wow.

Pleasurable, but not as pleasurable as the first time around.

But by then I was completely tapped into this whole genre of vampire romance novels.

And so I started to invest larger and larger amounts of time, energy, and creativity into obtaining and reading vampire romance novels.

You know, seemingly innocent to start with, but it became a bit of an obsession.

And when I ran out of vampire romance novels, I moved on to werewolf romance novels.

And then there was necromancers and soothsayers and all kinds of paranormal romance novels.

I sent Jackie the funniest TikTok yesterday about this guy who lost his fantasy football league and his punishment like from his friends was he had to read Twilight and then do a book report like video testimonial. He actually said he cried at the end of the book and he gave the funniest book report like for his like friends.

Read Twilight, bitch.

"

Twilight book.

"

If you read the books, which I'm really, like I'm really close to starting the Twilight books because I'm sure there's so much information in there that just is skated right by in the movie cuz it's hard to get everything in there and so much history.

"

I think some of the later ones are better. That's a book so that doesn't count.

That's a book so that doesn't count yeah it doesn't count.

"

Twilight Thick Non-See-Through Shower Curtain.

"

She says her love of storytelling emerged somewhere between the very hungry cat Caterpillar and Twilight.

"

Obviously they got their start in the twilight saga, you know, fan, you know, book following before very similar to exactly what you're doing.

"

You might know them from the internet. Taylor from Twilight.

"

adf determined that various schools in oregon tolerate books that contain uh quote violence suicide explicit language domestic abuse drug and alcohol use and sexual content and those books include the twilight saga

"

Many of Rowling's most hysterical critics have only ever read the Harry Potter books along with maybe potentially the Twilight series.

"

handmade in Barrett's case was a reference to the Bible not a book written by Margaret Atwood in the 1980s and this sort of confusion is inevitable when your exposure to historical literature extends only to that novel plus Harry Potter and Twilight.

"

They also said that I was in a vampire cult, which I think is because I was into Twilight at the time.

"

The Bible. Oh, that's in bestsellers right next to Twilight.

"

the Twilight shit was really big. I hate that I'm saying this, Bill, because I don't watch the Twilights or read them, but they were big, they were really big.

Team Jacob, Team Edward

"

And then later in the day, I had this screen test for this book series that's about vampires.

And I was like, I don't really care about that. So hopefully I get this Disney, the rock film.

People told me like these books are pretty popular. I was like, hmm. Yeah, I've never heard of them.

But so I had no real concept except people telling me this could be something because the books are popular.

It's so interesting to remember, like Team Edward, Team Jacob and the dynamic how hard people went for those teams.

"

It's like the vampire shit. Same with Twilight. Like I'm obsessed.

It sounds like the um, Klaus's, what is Klaus's last name? Uh, Michelson.

"

I can't remember which book or which movie it was. I think I read it in the book. When he has sex with her and he breaks. When they go on the honeymoon and he like breaks the headboard in half and it's so hot. It's so hot.

"

I listen to the books on tape of Twilight, which are-

They are so horribly written, it is shocking.

The first book is written in the first person.

It's written as Bella.

You are listening to it like, it's so terrible.

I can't say for sure how many times I watched the first three Twilight movies.

I know I saw Twilight and New Moon at least 10 times each and Eclipse probably five or six.

"

my fiancee wanted to mention Twilight. Give a shout-out to the Twilight saga.

"

I guess Twilight kind of kicked that off more. And then Hunger Games are like the dystopian teenager series that was so popular in the 2010s. And then once a couple of them started to fail, they stopped doing it.

"

The Fifty Shades novel trilogy was originally written as a fan fiction work of what other book series?

Twilight. Correct.

"

What two teams made up fans for the movie Twilight?

What actress plays Jessica Day in the TV show new girl?

Team Edward or team werewolf

Edward and Jacob. That's it team Edward team Jacob

I didn't know if it was like called that in the books or the movies

"

Edward Cullen is a character in what book series?

"

Edward Cullen is a character in what book series?

Edward is in Twilight.

"

I think that Twilight fandom is very upsetting in general. It's bad books. I had to read all three Twilight books for work and like write a review of it. And it made my brain worse. It was like I had been sleep deprived in my brain, just like didn't work.

"

That's fine. You know Twilight isn't for everybody me included but there's nothing wrong with loving a good book, you know, even if your friends don't like it.
