I did pick them up on more than one occasion but I never bought them. Later on when they became really popular I watched the first movie and I really hated it. At that point I was turned off by the entire franchise...but I decided that I would keep an open mind and read the books since I had heard that the movies couldn't even compare to how great the books were. I have to say that I'm glad I never bought these books because in my opinion they literally were painful to read. Even though I really hate these books I can't deny the fact that they have gotten lots of people reading again...and for that reason alone I give it props for getting people to see that reading is fun and enjoyable.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478991683623844302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694526158872913561.post-91286583536038259442012-06-18T21:03:05.036-07:002012-06-18T21:03:05.036-07:00This is one of my favorite series.

We both are big fans. I absolutely love them. I love all the covers too. So simple. Now I want to go and read them now.Maritza Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303291640054007471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694526158872913561.post-36194198976208944252012-06-18T06:09:58.644-07:002012-06-18T06:09:58.644-07:00I have to admit, I don't really see how these ...I have to admit, I don't really see how these covers tie into the series.

And now that I think of it, there might've been something wrong with me back then.<br />I liked Twilight enough to buy New Moon...17dollars down the drain. I recently donated it to the library and saw it sell for a dollar. Admittedly, I kinda missed it.<br /><br />And now Fifty Shades of Grey's cover kind of remind me of Twilight's cover...except they are blue.<br /><br />Lilian @ <a href="http://noveltoybox.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">A Novel Toybox</a>Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11540910005642018594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694526158872913561.post-69826980215051098962012-06-17T19:49:11.849-07:002012-06-17T19:49:11.849-07:00I have a lot for reservations about Twilight books...I have a lot for reservations about Twilight books. I had a debate with some of my friends about this series of books. At the time, I didn't read the books I only watched the movies, so I kinda of found it slightly on the korny side. So, I decided to read all the books before Breaking Dawn came about. Even though, my opinion changed after I read the books, I still felt that the series were lacking a bit, but for a new author that was fantastic. So, I did re-debated with my friends. As far as the covers, I found them to be pretty good especially the first one.Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08212808057475841514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694526158872913561.post-69912712494967014652012-06-17T17:29:23.940-07:002012-06-17T17:29:23.940-07:00Let me be honest here, I wasn't too interested...Let me be honest here, I wasn't too interested in Twilight when I read the first book, and the series originally came out. I thought it was too...frivolous...but my interest grew once the movies came along. But in terms of the covers...I love them all. Yes, Breaking Dawn is the least pretty, but even that one has its significance, really. I actually think the first book cover, is the most APT...with the forbidden fruit theme. I must say the covers match the books, and that makes me love them! :)~Enamored Soul~https://www.blogger.com/profile/16480923281335495661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694526158872913561.post-74388112330509318562012-06-17T13:34:41.163-07:002012-06-17T13:34:41.163-07:00I always loved the covers.

For some, they're the books that got people into reading, though mine were the Percy Jackson Series way back when. lol<br /><br />I think that the covers are simple, which is hard to come by these days. I disliked Eclipse the most though. It's the simplest of them all, but it wasn't eyecatching the way the others are. Their theme with the red and black with hints of white is awesome. I wish some people tried less to make amazing covers that just fall flat.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661169246931091833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694526158872913561.post-69773316028786280362012-06-15T07:05:56.933-07:002012-06-15T07:05:56.933-07:00Hey!

I had been thinking of putting these up on a future Shelf Candy post, but hesitated because many people on the blogosphere actually HATE these books... I don't understand why. I guess that means all those millions of fans across the globe aren't bloggers... Honestly, I think it's just ridiculous the way these books are criticized!!! I not only love the plot of each one, but the covers, as well!! I do have two favorites, though -- the covers of "Twilight" and "New Moon". But as you say, it really makes sense to include them all, so as to have the complete set. <br /><br />Thank you so much for making this TWIHARD'S day!!!!!!! <3Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694526158872913561.post-72489920985595063732012-06-10T08:35:20.206-07:002012-06-10T08:35:20.206-07:00Hi Claire!
