About: I was skeptical at first about the series. All my friends were reading it in 9th grade and I just wasn't into it. I had been burned pretty bad by a relationship and I just wasn't believing the whole 'love story' thing. Then, on one fateful night, I was at a book sale and was desperately seeking a new read. Twilight seemed to be glowing on the shelf and I was drawn to buy it. I didn't know why, like I said, I didn't want to even think about love. I went home and cracked open the fresh book. I instantly related to Bella. Her feelings became my feelings. Her curiosity became my curiosity. I carried the book around with me everywhere I went. I found myself even slowing down in reading it because I didn't want it to end. I closed the back cover and took a deep breath, then I realized something. I had learned to believe in love again. A simple book and taught me to believe in what I thought just couldn't exist. I also learned that every girl deserves their very own Edward Cullen. No one should settle for just some guy. He needs to be your guy. Your dream guy. Well, let's say I am not a skeptic anymore. As a freshman in college, I find myself having a lot of free time to re-read the books... again. I have my own 59 song playlist for all the books on my i-Tunes and I love that it brings me back to the moments in the books. I have met so many people just by saying that I am a "Twilighter". It amazing how passionate you can become about a novel. I am so happy I bought Twilight on a whim. It has transformed my life and taught me so much about myself. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my Twilight story.

About: Recently, my youngest aunt died unexpectedly in her sleep.I was left in the most depressed mood that I've ever experienced. I felt like something inside my heart had fallen out, was missing, and would never come back. It was a physical condition that literally made me uncomfortable. I thought of New Moon, and how Bella feels throughout that book. She is always holding herself together with her crossed arms. I realized that this was the closest description to what I was feeling. My chest hurt, like it was falling apart inside. Then I thought of how Bella turns into a zombie for several months and decided that I didn't want to be like that. I didn't want to lose myself in grief, and I know my aunt wouldn't have wanted me to do that either. I know that this case is different, in that I will never get that piece of my heart back for good, but I don't want to be like Zombie Bella. I want to be strong, like Bella becomes after her loss. I will never forget how Twilight helped me straighten my thoughts and fix myself in the worst times of my life. It takes an amazing book to do something like that. And an amazing writer to portray such a real and painful emotion so realistically. From all of the ways that Twilight has changed my life, this is definitely the biggest. It helpled to support me when I thought nothing could, and gave me hope when everything in my world was bleak.

About: Well it's just been over a year since I read Twilight and I could not have been happier to found such a series to love. Last year as the movie hit Com-Con I suppose I heard a lot of buzz about Twilight. I have never heard about it but saw the trailer and was interested. I went out and go myself a copy of Twilight but it sat in my room for a few weeks before I read. However the week before Breaking Dawn was released I ended up in the hospital to have major surgery. It went well and after three days I was released. However my second day at home I came down with a high fever and was re-admitted. My second hospital stay I was in tears until I saw that my mother had packed Twilight in my backpack. I finished the book during the three day hospital stay. I remember watching the news reports of the Breaking Dawn release parties wishing so much I could be there. Once back home I sweet talked my father into buying the rest of the books for me and finished the series in a week. My recovery from my surgery was long and quite painful. But the Twilight series gave me something to look forward to. It gave me a reason not to be depressed and let me escape from my pain. Twilight will always have a special place in my heart for helping me get through one of the toughest experiences of my life.

About: Twilight... Where can I start? I was first introduced to the books during a hurricane that blew through my hometown back in October of '08. One of my friends had read them before me and she came over one day and couldn't put that dang book down! Now, I have always considered myself a book lover, (no one I've ever met, adult or child) can read as fast or as much as I can. I've wanted to be a writer for years now and had just finished writing my first manuscript before I read Twilight. I bought three; Twilight, New Moon, and Breaking Dawn. Eclipse was not for sale in any store at the time. I read the first two in twelve hours. When the electricity went out from the wind I used my cell phone to light the pages. When Edward left Bella I cried. Yes, a lot of people said this, but I literally found myself angry at that. Before the Twilight Saga, no book ever riled me like that. Now as I said, I bought three, not including Eclipse. I was at the safe house for another FOUR DAYS before we could leave. Do you have any idea what it is like to have it sitting there but not being able to read it?! I am notorious for becoming impatient with series, often skipping ahead if one book isn't available. Restraining myself was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I had to get my mom to literally take the book from me and lock it in her trunk and hide the keys. After Twilight, once I got home, I decided to read my manuscript again. I was shocked by what I read. It was horrible. Twilight, it seemed, had expanded my view. I'm not quite sure how... I've been working on a new once ever since. Twilight has affected me in a way I didn't think was possible. Whatever magic Stephenie Meyer wrote between those pages, I wish I could hug her for it.

About: To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure if I even should be entering. A guy trying to be the Twilight fan of the month is a long shot...but my story has meaning and I guess I'll tell it.
I had heard about Twilight even before it became the international hype that we know today. My good friend Michelle had read the first book THE day it was released. She would constantly tell me about in between our classes, at lunch, and even when I drove her home some days. In all honesty, I was getting quite sick of her constant rambling. It was always Edward this and Edward that. I can't remember how many times I changed the subject, only to find my way back to Edward. I was being completely overwhelmed with all her facts and lingering questions about the book and its supposed sequels. I thought long and hard and decided to pick up this book and read it myself. I remember starting that book in the early morning, with such low expectations, and ending late that night stunned and amazed. Like most fans of the series (And yes, I continued and read them all.), I wasn't enticed by the golden-eyed bloodsucker himself, but I did catch a few instances where I swore I could imagine myself in his place. Now I wasn't imagining I was a vampire or anything crazy like that, but the way he spoke, acted, and thought was so amazingly similar to my own thoughts and emotions, I could hardly contain myself. While all other fans are looking for their Edward, where ever he may be, I'm searching for my Bella. This book taught me what a true joy and hardship love may be sometimes, but finding that love and holding that special person close is what we all dream of. I hope that someday in my future I may find that pale, clumsy, emotional girl of my dreams and she will see me as that perfect boy she has only read about in works of fiction. These books have not only opened my eyes to the world around me, but they have also allowed me to see myself in a true light. Twilight may be considered a series for romance-loving females across the world, but it shown me, an Edward in my own town of Forks, that I can be the perfection some lonely soul is searching for.

About: When I first heard about the Twilight series, I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about reading them. As any other skeptic, I didn't believe the story would be able to affect my life at all. Wow, was I wrong. My friend Erin starting reading Twilight and told me how amazing it was, so I decided that I would read them for myself. When she finished with Twilight, I immediately immersed myself in reading, and after the first sentence, I could NOT put the book down. I had never realized that a story could make me feel SO differently about life, but this book honestly did. I wanted to start reading New Moon right away, but my friend was still reading it and taking FOREVER (in my opinion), so I decided to leave my school's campus and buy the books for myself so that I wouldn't have to wait. It took me four days to finish the books. When I was finished, I wanted MORE. I could hardly wait for the movie to come out, and all of my daydreams and fantasies were concerning Edward and his silent perfection. Before reading the books, I always thought romance novels and love were pointless, there's no such thing as love, right? Well, after reading Twilight my mind has been extremely changed. Because I was raised in a small town, I never believed that I would ever be able to find love, especially the intense love like Edward and Bella's. I know now that everyone deserves to experience love like this. Every girl out there is just looking to be someone's Bella, and to find their own Edward. I have hope that someone for me is out there, and I will continue to re-read the books and enjoy the movies. Although my friends tell me I'm slightly obsessed, (maybe I am hehe) but I will always hold a special place in my heart for everything about the series.

About: I've loved the Twilight series ever since day one, I couldn't put it down. So I stayed up all hours of the night reading it, wondering what's going to happen next. When I finished the series I was upset because I knew I read the whole thing so I began reading it over and over and over again. My parents - even my teachers and friends, when they see me with a book form the series they always say, 'You're reading it again? Aren't you getting bored of it?' and honestly I haven't, I don't think I ever will. I can read it and read it again and again and still have the same suspense even though I already know what's going to happen. Even to this day I can't put it down! It might be ridiculous but all the characters made me think of a person in real life so now I always call them by the character they remind me of.Ê I had to do in English class I had to write a paragraph on my hero and I was going to do Edward but then I gotten to think that he wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for Carlisle. So I did it on Carlisle. My love for Twilight increased as I made videos and wallpapers for Twilight. I'm a song writer and I've made songs to Twilight, all using a line in the book that I love. I can't go a day without doing something Twilight related. I think the main reason why I'm so hook on Twilight is because it's every girls' dream to meet the one. Every girl wishes they were Isabella Swan finding their Edward Cullen. It's a action, romantic - not to mention suspenseful story. About it being about these two star-crossed lovers (it made me think of Romeo and Juliet modern time) and all the obstacles they went through just to be together. To me the Twilight Saga was pure genius, vampires, romance, suspense, all the best genres in one! I've loved Twilight and I'll always continue to support it. I've joined just about everything that has to do with Twilight, I went to the premiere of Twilight and went to the DVD release party at Hot Topic. Bella might be Edward's personal brand of heroine but the Twilight Saga is mine! =)

About: I picked up Twilight when I received Twilight and New Moon for my 14th birthday. I devoured Twilight, staying up until 3 AM to read what happened with Bella and James, and spent the whole next day reading New Moon, sneaking reads in class while pretending to take my science notes. From that day on, I was hooked. I was one of numerous screaming fangirls on the night of August 7, 2007, at the midnight release party for Eclipse. I didn't sleep that night; I had to read. The end left me (pun intended) thirsting for more. I channeled my obsessive attention on the movie, being one of Rob's only supporters upon his casting. Every time a new cast member was named, I would reread Twilight, picturing them in my head. I started listening to Twilight Series Theories, a podcast. I went on BAE.com and Stephenie's site every free moment I had that I had access to a computer, looking for the latest news. Then August 2, 2008 rolled around, and I reprised the screaming fangirl role. I tore through Breaking Dawn hungrily, wanting my speculations to end, and was not disappointed. By that time, the movie was nearly ready to be released. My neurotic energy went to the movie again, with purchases of the official movie companion book and a preordered movie ticket. The movie came out on the beautiful Friday night of November 21, 2008. Though the movie hardly did the book the justice it deserved in my opinion, I enjoyed it. And suddenly, with all four books and the movie out, I needed another place to focus my obsession. I turned to fanfiction then, and speculating on the movie cast, among other things. I'm proud to say that my obsession is still going strong. And I don't think that there's ever a day where I have doubted my devotion to Twilight. I can't imagine my life without my daily doses of Edward and Jacob.

About: I still vividly remember the day I walked into school and heard everyone talking about "The Twilight Series". As I made my way to my seat, I looked over at one of my friends whose hands encircled one of the Twilight novels. The familiar cover art grasped my attention immediately and I now knew what the big commotion that took place earlier was about. When I finally got the nerve to ask my classmates if it was a good book, the responses I got were unanimous: "CASS! YOU HAVE TO READ THIS! IT'S AMAZING". I had gotten home that night and asked my older sister to buy me the series. Since Christmas and my birthday were right around the corner, she complied. Christmas morning was the day it really all began for me. I had opened my gifts only to find the 3 books laying there nicely in the tissue paper. I started reading them immediately. But before that my sister told me the story about how when she went to Chapters to buy me these books, the store was FILLED with Edward and Bella nick-nacs. She picked up the books and read the back of Twilight. Any normal person reading the back would get a little creeped out, having read the words "vampire","irrevocably", and "thirsted for my blood". She said she had no idea what she bought me, so decided to read the first chapter. After doing that, there was no turning back. So my sister Jenna (being the avid reader that she is) finished all the books within the next week. Once I heard that, I just had to sink my teeth into it. I hibernated in my room, reading constantly night and day, freaking out every time something unexpected occurred. My life seemed to revolve around figuring out what would happen next. As soon as I finished reading the series, I had nothing to do with my time. I had spent so many days trapped in the little town of Forks, and honestly, I probably wouldn't of had it any other way. To this date, I still spend my nights lying in bed reading them over and over again because to me, Bella's journey never gets old. In my opinion, Stephenie Meyer has graced so many people with a chance of hope. I'm sure not everybody's lives turn out to be as interesting as Bella's does, but it gives us hope. What I got out of the novels is that not everything is what it appears to be. We often take the time to look at things without seeing the bigger picture. There is so much truth in this world that I think still needs to be discovered and Stephenie had some way of showing me that I was right. I recommend these novels to anyone who passes by me. In one word, they're simply amazing. All in all, I think that these novels show everyone that they should live by their heart, speak their mind, make the impossible possible, turn all their tears into laughter and never for any reason let anyone make them afraid to dream a little dream.

About: When I think about my life prior to discovering the Twilight series, I honestly can't remember what it was like. I always loved the idea of vampires and the whole fantasy world it provided for me to imagine about; however, my love and admiration for the Twilight series runs so much deeper because of the realism the story has. Not only does it has the fantasy elements of vampires and werewolves, but it never gets too carried away with it. The relationships in the books are so believable and humane that I find myself relating to each character one way or another at some point throughout the series. I think for any good fictional writer, you know they have done a successful job when the readers are able to truly escape for even the briefest of moments and feel as if they are one of the characters in the story. I admire Stephenie Meyer's ability to captivate her audience and pull the reader right in. I always found myself living Bella's life, as if I was the one speaking her words, or having my heart race, or shedding her tears. Because of Stephenie's ability to draw me in each time I read any of her books (which I have actually lost count of now), she is one of my favourite authors. Bella is the type of person that I aspire to be, and no not just because she has a guy like Edward although that could be reason enough. Already at the age of 17, Bella is a selfless and mature woman. She does not allow herself (or at least tries not to) to play the damsel in distress even with a guy like Edward around to protect her. As much as she dislikes being in the spotlight, she shows that you can speak your mind, be an individual, and be courageous without having to flaunt and put yourself out there. I can't help but smile just at the mention of the word ‘Twilight’. My friends and family think of me as the unofficial Twilight rep due to the amount of effort I put into introducing the series to anyone I know. I do so because the Twilight series have brought so much excitement in my life and I love discussing the series with anyone; friends, family or even complete strangers so I figure why not share it with others. I even read these books for work! I work as an English tutor with newly-immigrated elementary and high school students and even have all of them hooked. I've never had students more eager to learn English and study vocab than when I got them to start reading Twilight! Reading this series with them has made me see that even with the age gap between me and my students, I realize that we can level with each other so well during our discussions about the books. These books are irrevocably a part of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way.

About: I'm a storyteller. I have been for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I used to tell my sister stories at night, going wherever my imagination led me. I'd keep talking long after she'd fallen asleep, not pausing until the story seemed finished. But it wasn't until after I read Twilight, and after hearing the journey Stephenie went through to have it published, that I finally became a writer.
I've always been realistic. I know my talents, and better yet, I know my limits. I think I've always been hesitant to display my abilities because I've been afraid of failure. Success is the American Dream, but dreams are the American pastime. Do what makes you the most money, and leave what you truly love to do as a hobby.
That’s how I saw it.
Then Twilight, in a way, opened my eyes. It may seem like a stretch, but that’s what happened. It inspired me.
Writing makes me happy, and even if I'm not able to publish a book or write a screenplay, at least I've found my niche. That’s more than most people can say.
For the first time, I’m not afraid of embracing the gift I’ve been given. I’ll happily follow it anywhere it decides to take me.

About: Twilight, was always overrated to me at first. I heard about it, but dismissed it as the next "Harry Potter" - good writing, but doomed to the world of obsessive nerd fandom.
But then, I stumbled upon it in a grocery store, and I began to read on the produce aisle. I immediatly felt drawn in, and couldn't put it down. That day, I finished it in two hours, tops.
I'm not like Bella, really, but something about her spoke to me. The fact that she can speak eloquently, and not dumb herself down and be strong, yet still be fragile and so human - it reeled me in. But the turning point for me was the introduction of Edward to the story - I immediatly felt latched on to him. I felt as if he were a real, tangible person every time I pushed a page back. I felt happy, whole, complete when reading. I felt real. I felt like I was missing something, though.
So, I read the rest of the series and adored it, but my heart felt empty. I was devastated that my Edward did not exist - until I realized that Edward wasn't real, but that he was my fictional personality, rolled into one. I'm vulnerable, yet I act strong. I'm afraid of hurting others, because I tend to act impulsivly without regard. I try, so so hard, to put on a facade of someone different than who I am - but Twilight showed me that there is someone out there, everywhere, who can crack that mask and expose me. Raw and plain. Whole and uncut. Me. Not my concious mind, but my weary heart.
Twilight has spoken to me in too many ways that I cannot even being to describe, but yet I wouldn't want to. It's like my personal secret of self acceptance through the pages of a story, that millions of other girls have also pulled tightly to their hearts. I'm not perfect, like Bella. I'm vulnerable and thoughtful, like Edward. And the conglomeration of personalities and flaws are what make the series so relatable, and so powerful.
It's not just young love on a page - it's young love between reader, author, and every word typed upon the page.

About: I loved Twilight since the first time I read the description behind the book.
I’ve always loved vampire stories and I was sure that I was going to love this one too.
I wasn’t expecting that Twilight will become my life. But it surely did.
I read all of the books and with every word I became more addicted to series.
I’m very similar to Bella. (I can’t lie, I’m very clumsy etc.) I was thinking that I was weird.
But with Twilight I’ve learned that being weird and different isn’t such a bad thing.
Twilight’s world became my world. When I felt bad, when I wanted to run away from the world,
Twilight was always there to help me, to make me feel better. And when I see something about
Twilight -an apple, a shiny grey car...- it makes my day. I suggest the books everyone around me.
But only the first and the second book had translated in Turkish. (I read the books in English.)
Also there is a big problem with the first book’s translation.
The translation of the Turkish version is wrong and there isn’t the meadow scene in it! I’m a
very shy person and if it wasn’t Twilight I would never be able to do something about it. But
now I’m trying to fix that problem. I sent an e-mail to publisher but they didn’t send me reply.
That won’t stop me, of course. I’ll call them and I won’t give up until they fix that. There are
a lot of people in Turkey that will read these books. And they deserve to read a proper Twilight.
Can you imagine a Twilight without meadow scene? I will try my best, just for Twilight.
It deserves that respect. I know these things I wrote aren’t deep feelings but I’ve never been
good at these things. And I think that I don’t need to explain my love to Twilight.
It is my life... And there are a lot of people here who thinks this way. They will understand
my feelings. I owe a lot to Twilight. With Twilight I’m not that shy anymore. My clumsiness isn’t
a big problem, I have courage to do what is right. When everything is bad, I don’t feel hopeless.
Because I know that Twilight is there to help me and with that help, nothing seems too bad. As
long as Twilight’s world is beside me I will be strong and never give up. I will always have hope
and strength to stand against all difficulties.

About: My friends seem to think that I am Bella's twin; as if her character were
written after me, entirely. I think it's quite a generous complement; almost too
generous. Last year in gym class I had the whole class calling me Bella because of
my incredible clumsiness. But that's besides the point.
For the longest time, I didn't think I could be loved. I was the only of my friends
that had never had a boyfriend, or even a first kiss. Then, I read Twilight and it
taught me that I am worthy of being loved. I may feel so small in this big world -
but it taught me that someday, in the right moment - I will be what someone was
waiting for. Well, that summer, I found my Edward. And Last year, he had to move to
Kentucky with his family. Like Bella, I was devastated beyond words. We had been
dating for over a year and I was left all alone. In all honesty, this series helped
me through the lonely times. I made me look forward to the future when he would be
back. Today, he has returned - and everything in my world is filled with color
again. But I have Stephenie Meyer to thank for keeping me busy, reading, when I felt
like I could just curl up in a ball and cry. It helped me feel when I thought any
emotion resembling love had escaped me forever.
Twilight is amazing, as everyone knows. It is , and will be, forever my favorite
series. I first stumbled upon the book three years ago, brought it home from the
library, and couldn't stop reading. In fact, I read it in four hours straight. After
that, I knew that I would never be the same. I knew that there was something special
about it; and the fact that no one had even read it yet baffled me. I started
recommending it to everyone - and sooner or later; the twilight trend began to
spread like wildfire.
These books are more than just words upon a page. It's more than just a story.
Honestly, it's where we can go to get away from the real world. When life seems to
dull; we escape to Forks, become Isabella Swan, and fall in love with Edward Cullen
over and over again. These books are my personal fairytale.
I've never been that passionate about anything in my life; as I am with Twilight.
But it just fills me up with this intense feeling. It's like a disease that I don't
want the cure for.
I don't know if I deserve to be the Fan of the Month; but I do know that I love
Twilight - and everything about it. Millions of girls, and even guys around the
world are addicted to this series right now - and hundreds, just like me, are
probably telling you the same reasons that they should be your pick. I know I'm
nothing extraordinary, but I hope that something about me stands out to you.

About: I am a middle school teacher in Wichita, KS. Last school year I noticed several of my students reading various Stephenie Meyer books. I am an AVID reader and thought, well, since my students seem to be in love with these books I better check them out. So I bought the first 3 books in the Twilight Saga and read them all in less then a week, as we all know the addiction that occurs after Twilight. Many young ladies have stated how this book has changed their lives. Being a teacher and witnessing these changes daily at school, I can agree with their statements. I want to share with you my most touching experience with this wonderful series.
I had an 8th grade male student in one of my technology courses who came to our school half way through the year because he was kicked out of his previous school. Needless to say he had a bit of a chip on his shoulder and spent the first 9 weeks of my class doing absolutely nothing, not one assignment. No matter what I did, he refused to work. This was his case in most classes. Well, one day he came into my room and noticed on my desk all of my Stephenie Meyer books. He was shocked that his teacher was reading them. He told me how much he loved the books and we kinda bonded right there. I told this student that if he would start putting forth an effort in my class I would let him come up to my desk and we would "talk Twilight" the last 10 minutes of class every Monday and Friday. We also would visit bellaandedward.com to view any of the latest news about the books, Stephenie or the movie. This student went from failing my class to making straight "A's". If that does not show the power of these books, I am not sure what will.
This series has helped me bond with many students, but this particular incident will forever be a shining moment in my teaching career. Thank you!

About: The first time I stumbled across Twilight, I knew instantly that it was special. Whether it was the cover or the title—I couldn’t really say. In that moment, everything changed. Right then and there, I knew I had to have it, to read it, to absorb it, to be a part of everything it had to offer.
I remember knowing nothing about Twilight. I hardly knew what was on The New York Times Best Seller until months after it was on that list. Like everything I read, I kept Twilight to myself—reading and sneaking a peek at the next chapter when no one was around. I had become entranced with the characters, their feelings, and their will to survive.
It was through Edward and the rest of the Cullen’s that my entire perspective on life and love got a complete 180. Edward, Esme, Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie were immortal—having forever to fix their mistakes and to fall in love. And because I was so swept up in having forever, I really, truly, completely realized that I didn’t have forever like the rest of the Cullen’s to be happy and to experience love. My mortality wasn’t going to wait for me to inch out of the corner and experience everything. The only person who could do that was me, only me.
I spent my whole life worried about appearances and what everyone else thought—that I forgot to live and breathe. And suddenly, it seemed like a very silly thing to do. I wasn’t going to have forever like Edward to adjust and resist human interaction. I realized that I wasn’t even sure if I was granted tomorrow or the day after that. All I knew was that I was alive right now, and I needed to make it count while I still had today.
But why should I be Fan Of The Month?
I learned from Twilight that’s it’s okay to be scared, to make mistakes, and to reach for what you want—despite the consequences. But most of all, Edward and Bella taught me that it’s okay to want love and to be loved and that, on some level, it was attainable.
All I have to do is fight for it.

About: Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series has been a true delight to read. I found myself reading these books for long hours into the night when I clearly should have been sleeping, so that I would not doze off at my rigorous internship work each morning. I think what is truly unique about the Twilight series is Meyer's ability to change some pre-conceived notions that some readers may have about vampires and werewolves (i.e. the idea that vampires do not come out in the sun because they shine, rather than burn). I also enjoyed reading Meyer's work from a writer's perspective. I have been trying to motivate myself to write a novel for years, and I have always told myself that I simply did not have the skills. I just wasn't good enough. Twilight has inspired me beyond recognition. If I could literally shake the hand of Edward and Bella and Jacob and all those wonderful Cullens, I would. I owe them my sanity. It was so frustrating to have such an extreme lack of confidence in myself. Stephenie Meyer's characters and her own writing style and qualities have helped me beyond words. I find myself picking up each book in the Twilight series when I need a place to look that will surely push me forward in my own writing endeavors. I have Post-its on pages that contain particularly beautiful language choices, or moments in the plot. I also respect Stephenie Meyer's dedication to her characters. She believes that they are the most important facet of her story, and I agree whole-heartedly. This is a series that really epitomizes "bringing characters to life." They are flawed. They are beautiful. They are real. This is something I admire in Stephenie, and I try to practice this vision in my own work. Basically, I think I should be Fan of the Month, because Twilight has set me on the right path, my path that was once only paved in my dreams. Now, my path is a reality, and I am glad to be finally walking it. It's one thing to be completely obsessed with a book, or the characters within that book, but I have been inspired by every one of Stephenie's words. I may not be the typical fangirl that dreams about Edward every night, buys all the Twilight merchandise she can afford, and finds joy in talking to her friends about what she would do if the Cullens went to her school. I have been given the gift of inspiration, and I guess I just wanted to share how grateful I am right here. Thanks!

About: There have been times when I'm reading Twilight or New Moon or Eclipse that I actually have to come up for air, to make myself realize I'm not in the story with them. I'm not in the meadow with Edward and Bella when every truth is revealed. I'm not standing next to Bella when Edward tells her he's leaving. I'm not in the tent with Edward and Jacob, in that infamous scene where, for at least a little while, they understand each other. I'm not there, but I feel like I am. I let myself get wrapped up in that world. And I believe that is truly what a fan is. Sure, somebody can like a book and call themselves a fan. But I think a true fan is someone who not only loves the book, but connects with the characters, enters another world, loses themselves in a fantasy. I love Edward, feel for Jacob, and fear for both, just as Bella does. These books are more than just words written on paper. They're a whole other world that had always been waiting to be discovered, and Stephenie Meyer did just that. I could write an entire novel about why I should be fan of the month, or how much these books mean to me, or how I'm longing for Breaking Dawn and the movie adaptation of Twilight. This series is a dream (literally). It's my dream. Books often fade in and out of popularity, but I believe these books will not. True fans will hold on to them forever. And I'll be one of them. I'll be 76 years old reading these novels to my grandchildren. I'll be in that world forever; my love for Twilight is immortal, just like the vampires.

About: There isn’t really anything special about me. I’m just another one of your obsessive Twilight fans that pulls their hair out every day because they can’t stand the wait of the up-coming Twilight movie coming out. I think that I should be fan of the month because it would be nice to see someone looking at what I’ve written and say to them selves “Wow, she feels the same way I do!” It would be nice to have a change from me being the person reading about someone else every month. Why I consider myself a Twilight fan is because well for the obvious reasons, I love the book, and then for the deeper reasons such as how much I wish I could relate the people in the book. Hands up for anyone who agrees everyday life is boring. Yeah, I bet I got every hand up for that one. Twilight is an escape from reality. It is my escape from boring every day life and looking at something completely new through Bella’s eyes. When you read every word you can feel every passion that she’s feeling. You can feel that burning love for Edward and that longing for Jacob. It’s a beautiful feeling that I don’t ever want to give away. The movie, to me, feels like it’s going to be my dreams on the big screen. It’s unbelievable to see it popped out of my head and transformed into what they think it’s intended to be. I think the movie will be great and fascinating, but I like my fantasies to stay the way I intended them to be. Now, why should I be fan of the month? I should be the fan, because I know deep down what it’s like to be a fan. Remember, it’s not an obsession, it’s hardcore love.

About: Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse are everything I've ever dreamed of. They're my sunshine when it rains. They're my company when I'm alone. They're my emotions when I suffer from apathy. They're my sanctuary when I need to feel safe, the perfect niche that I've grown so unbelievably accustomed to. I don't know how I can describe them any other way. I was so unbelievably touched by the feelings that were expressed in these books, it was almost too much to take in at one time. When my friend told me about them, I was so sure they were going to be some creepy, cheesy sci-fi thriller. But they proved me wrong, they're always proving me wrong. I can't even tell you how much I adore every last word written on the pages of these books. The confusion of Twilight, the pain of New Moon, and the romance of Eclipse are all like precious treasures to me, I wouldn't dare change anything about any of them. Vampires, werewolves, Italy, the Volturi, and let's not forget... the romance between Bella and Edward. Everything mentioned there looks to be so fictional and surreal, but when you read the books, it's as if you're trapped in their world. Nothing has ever seemed so real to me, it's as if I'm living within the pages. It makes me laugh, it makes me smile, it makes me cry, and every sentence makes me fall more in love with these books and their contents. I don't think anything will ever compare.

About: Twilight is my love. It is my strength and courage to face
anything. It gives me hope that there is more out there in the world, not
just the plastic fake things we hear about. I love Twilight because it
is my other world. When things get bad and unbearable, I just open the
books and start reading. I see Bella and Edward's story and it is just
inspiring and gives me the desire to push through anything. When my
best friend left, it was like when Edward left. Of course we weren't in
love like that, but it was like losing a part of yourself, your better
half that knew everything about you and had the power to make you happy
or sad. I dealt with that loss with New Moon. But there is another
reason Twilight makes me happy. It gives me hope that if you really love
something it will come back to you. This sounds sappy but it really is
true. This series gives me happiness, courage, and hope. Everything I
could ever ask for.

About: I had an Edward once, and I was his Bella. It’s hard to
describe the intensity of our relationship, but anyone who has read these
amazing books should know what I’m talking about. I was promised the
world, love, and forever, and I believed it. “You are my world
now”, sums it up quite well. Sadly and suddenly, my Edward left me after
some time, and like Bella, I was devastated beyond words. Easily said, it
was a very bad break up that had left me emotionally and mentally
scarred and in pain. It may sound overdramatic, but when you find a true
love like that and it leaves you without warning, your life can be turned
upside down and you feel like you’ve just lost everything. Before
finding the books, I had been searching for something, anything that
could stop this dead feeling inside of me, this hole that had been eating
away at me, and I finally decided to read that book with the really
pretty cover at Borders, only enthused to find out it was a vampire romance
(I’d always been obsessed with vampires). I was a little shocked at
how close to home it hit, with their relationship and how I could
identify with Bella very easily. Then I began New Moon... and the pain
returned with Edward’s leaving and I truly understood what Bella was going
through. That empty, black hole in her chest that left her fragile was
the exact same hole in mine. Bella found Jacob to somewhat heal that
hole, and I found the Twilight books. It was then, late at night reading
that for the first time, I wasn’t thinking about what I’d lost. I
wasn’t feeling sad and anxious, I wasn’t crying from the pain... I
was laughing! I hadn’t laughed in months. My wounds are still fresh
and they will take much time to heal, but these books have given me an
escape to run off to, a quiet place where I can just breathe, relax, and
finally feel alive. I won’t lie, every day I wish my Edward would
come back to me, but I know that every day will be better, especially
with these books.

About: Twilight changed my life, plain and simple. I've always loved reading, and I've always wanted to write, but it wasn't until I read Twilight that I began to realize how important literature is to me. Allow me to share my first reading experience: I had seen the book many times, and every time the cover drew me in, but for some reason, I didn't want to read it. I hardly wanted to touch it. It's strange how magnetic it was; the way it repelled and attracted me at the same time. Finally, I was at a bookstore with a friend. We stopped by the book, again, and once
again, I spent about five minutes just looking at it. I wandered around a
bit, not going farther than a few feet from it. My friend saw me
staring, and she told me some of her friends had read it and were obsessed.
Again, I don’t know why, but I still didn’t want to read it.
Finally, she convinced me and I bought it. I was going to get New Moon, too,
but I just didn’t want to. I was strangely scared. When I began
reading it, I was immediately transfixed. I remember how I had to leave the
book to go eat. I brought the book with me in the car and I remember how
I sat in the restaurant feeling so strange. My body felt strangely
numb and electric at the same time. I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
When I got home, I completely ignored my homework to keep reading. I
stayed up so late, angry with myself for starting the book late in the day
because I eventually had to put it down and sleep. My head was
spinning and I couldn’t stop reliving the scene with Edward and Bella in the
clearing. Even as I type this, my heart rate is getting faster from
the memories. The next day at school, I was in a bubble. Every spare
second was spent reading, and I was soon done. I remember the way I felt
when I put it down. First, angry that I hadn’t gotten New Moon. Mostly,
though, I felt lost. I needed more. So I started again. I read it all
the way through for the second time, and I still needed more. After the
third time, I convinced myself I needed to get a life, so I read another book. It was a book by an author I really like, but the words were
hollow after reading Stephenie Meyer’s masterpiece. As soon as I was
done with it, I read Twilight again. I feel as though I’ve crossed a
line, and I can never go back. I’ve got an addiction to words, and I
need to satiate it.

About: It was two weeks ago that I first heard of Twilight. Everyone in my school was talking about it, and I saw many copies of the books around. It was then that I decided to go buy a copy. I had heard of the books ages ago but didn't really think much of them. What a bad move that was. I bought Twilight and New Moon together. By the next day I had finished Twilight, and by that night, New Moon. Even for me, who regularly reads books in record time, that was saying something! Twilight is the best series out there.
The way that Stephenie Meyer captivates her audience with her character
developments, plot lines and un-expected twists can't be put into words.
I bugged Mum to buy the next book, and when she did, that was read as
quick as the previous two. I have discussions with my good friend all
the time, from plot points, to favourite parts of the books, to looking
for pictures of actors that we think would do well as the characters
in a movie. When it comes out, I will be in the first showing! Twilight
has re-encouraged me to see the beauty in the ordinary around us, and
has taught me many valuable lessons on life. They are the only books I've
read in the past two weeks. Thank you Stephenie for blessing the world
with your gift.

About: About a month ago, I saw Twilight at
Barnes and Noble. I had seen it on Amazon before, so I decided to sit down
and read a bit of it. I wasn't expecting to have a life-changing
experience, but I did. I bought the book, and I couldn't stop reading. I read
in the car on the way home, and then all night that night. I had a
dream about it too! I finished it the day after, and immediately went
online to order the next two books. I just finished Eclipse two days ago, and ever since, I have felt an
ache inside. I'm having withdrawals. I NEED MORE. Ever since I read the
first sentence of Twilight, I literally think about the Twilight series
everyday. I daydream about it all the time. I feel so silly, because I
have a deep deep deep crush on Edward! And I want to be Bella. I NEED
to be Bella. I feel like I AM her. And when I realize that I'm not, and
that it's all fake, I feel a horrible pain inside. It's weird.
Stephenie is the most amazing author. I have never ever in my LIFE loved a book
or series this much. I'm going to re-read the series, and I've never
ever had the urge to re-read a book before! I am going insane...I can't
even explain my feelings! I am crazy about this series. Before coming
on this website and reading the past FOM's entries, I felt incredibly
lame. I mean, who in the world is retarded enough to have a serious crush
on a fictional character? Well, I am. And a bunch of other people are
too, I guess! It has made me feel a lot better to know that I'm not
alone. I've been feeling depressed lately, because I yearn to live inside
the story. Real life is not fun or happy anymore. I want to live in
Twilight. I want Twilight to fill my lungs and every ounce of my being. I
never knew it was possible to be so wrapped up in a book. But now I
know that it is. I never want this series to end. I might cry when it
does.. :( I've never felt to emotional about a book. But the Twilight series has
pulled on my heart strings, and now I am sucked in. And I don't want to
fight it. I love Bella like a sister, and now I love everyone that she
loves. Edward, Jacob... the whole Cullen family. I am deeply obsessed,
and proud to admit it!

About: Are there even words to describe how much I love Twilight? I live, breathe, eat Twilight. My friends don't need to read Twilight, I've practically told them the whole story. I'm just a girl from a boring, small town, but thanks to Twilight, my life feels richer, full of the adventure that takes place every time I open one of those books. I am an avid reader, and only once before has a book affected me so deeply. I used to be ashamed of my horribleness at sports, I used to detest gym, but now, I'm proud to be horrible at sports, because Bella is. It may be strange, I know, but every time I'm in doubt, I think "What would Bella do?" and usually everything turns out fine. Twilight has changed my life for the better, I cannot wait for Breaking Dawn, Midnight Sun and all the other books which MUST be written.

About: It truly is rare when school ever leads me to a bit of inspiration like it did with ‘Twilight’. As a book on my summer reading list, I wasn’t prepared for how much this book would change, no, mold my opinions, feelings, my life to a point where every little thing I did reminded me of Bella and Edward’s adventures. Like most girls who’ve read these books, Edward quickly went from a fascination to an object of infatuation within a few chapters. Bella felt like a close sister to me what with her whole attitude, her passionate and scared feelings. I want to go on that kind of adventure someday. Just the thrill of reading these books has me exited to leave Florida and search for a vampire friend of my own. Even as I do my project on this book, registering every seemingly insignificant sentence, I realize more and more of the depth that ‘Twilight’ holds, making the reading experience more profound and enjoyable. During New Moon, I felt so depressed during Edward’s harsh abandonment and felt like taking up motorcycling myself just to heal the second hole being ripped in my chest like Bella’s. I eagerly await Eclipse’s arrival at my library (I reserved a copy so I could read it as early as I could). ‘Twilight’ has also strengthened my compelling dream to write fiction for young adults when I get older on so many levels. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to write as remarkable a book as Stephanie Meyer once I embark on my career someday. I’ll write the world my own adventure.

About: I thought it sort of funny when only after reading the books a week ago I find myself entering myself into the fan of the month. I have to say that honestly just that short amount of time has turned me into a true fan of the Twilight series. It began with a small recommendation from my friend, Bridgette, whilst we were recording an episode of our radio show/podcast and came across the subject of books. She immediately mentioned Twilight and that I needed to read it because I would not be able to put it down. I'd heard such things before about books and had been disappointed in the past but I needed something to hold me over until the release date of the final Harry Potter book. Bridgette let me borrow Twilight and New Moon the next day and I immediately began to read the first chapter of Stephenie Meyer's work. Needless to say I was hooked. I work overnight at a local SuperTarget and decided to bring the book with me since I couldn't get enough of it. I found it hard to focus on my work due to mind constantly running wild in the small town of Forks. When we went on our two lunch breaks for 30 minutes I would rush to a secluded stockroom and plop down on the floor and begin reading. For those few minutes I was captivated and my love for the story was undeniable. This was something special and I was drawn into the beautiful romance between Bella and Edward as well as the mystery of the Cullen family. Since then I've done nothing but rave about these books. I even decided to dedicate an episode of our show to the Twilight series so that more people will be able to experience this outstanding piece of work. I have to say that there is a special place in my heart reserved for the Twilight series and I anxiously await Eclipse and the tale within.

Age: 15
Location: Scotland
About: It was only four months ago when I walked into my local library and happened upon Twilight. I always had a fascination with vampires, witches, werewolves, the whole lot, so when I read the back on the book I felt immediately captivated. But I wanted to read the first few chapters quickly before I took it home. I sat in at my usual table and read and read until a woman came over and informed me it was closing time. Usually after that I walk home but I took the bus so I could read it whilst heading home. I read and read and laughed and cried until I had finally finished it at about two in the morning. I couldn't get to sleep after that with the thoughts that flowed through my head. When I went to school the next day, I was caught daydreaming or re-reading the book several times. In my daydreams, my mind wandered to fantasies of myself and Edward (but what girl doesn't do that?) or I would be begging mentally for a sequel or some other form of the story to quench my undying thirst for more of Twilight. For the next several days I was either on my computer looking for my fan fictions/sites/sequels, re-reading, or annoying my friends until they got their own copy and read it. The time before Twilight, my life couldn't get worse. I thrived for an escape. Something that could distract me and hopefully make me happy. I found that hope in books. Yet no book kept me kept my attention for longer than after I had read it, until now. I have been a dedicated fan for months now. Finding solace. I have now been writing constantly ever since, because I know Stephenie Meyer will most likely never know how she's helped me but if I could do just that through my future stories, I would feel pure, eternal bliss. As if Edward were there beside me, for real. So far none of my stories have come even an eighth close to how amazing Stephenie writes but I'm trying. And I'm saving up so hopefully I can fly to the states in a few years time and thank her for her writings and possibly ask her to give me hints on how she wrote such a magnificent book. I know I must sound really pathetic saying that basically, a book saved me, but it's true. I have found a distraction, a head-spinning graving, a hope and a solace all in one. New Moon was [undeniable] another stepping stone in my addictions and I now wait eagerly for Eclipse. And although the idea of a Twilight movie is like the Heaven's opening up, I wish they wouldn't go through with it. I have never seen a movie that has touched me like a book has. Reading is a personal things that draws you away from everything around you into you're own imagination. However a movie... well that's less personal. And it's not our image of the movie, it's the directors. We were all told the same thing in Twilight; how Edward looked. Yet we all have our ideas of how Edward looks, etc. But can you imagine seeing him on screen and then thinking “that isn't what I imagined”. I know he was described in the book but we all have thought of him differently and that has been proven many times when people have pictures of Henry Cavill as Edward and when other people have Ian Somerhalder on their websites, etc. And personally, that disappointment is something that I do not wish to face.

About: The first time I read Twilight, I was absolutely mesmerized! I was on vacation in Florida at the time, and instead of enjoying the incredible weather, the only thing I could focus on was the talented Stephenie Meyer's novel. I read it over and OVER again for a week straight without pausing, and purchased it as soon as I got back to Canada. When New Moon came out, I cried when I found, with horror, that the copy I had purchased was MISSING 100 PAGES! I bought a new copy the following day, and still cried (uncontrollably, until chapter 17). Also, I can truly relate to Bella. Yes, I have tripped down (and up) stairs. And yes, this past year I DID faint after getting pricked on the finger for blood pressure testing (no joke!). And yes! I believe everyone who does not own a copy of Jane Austen's works (as well as Stephenie Meyer's, of course!) are missing out on the most wonderful and FANTASTIC books ever written! And lastly, when I could not find a way to attend the Eclipse Prom, I visited the bookstore in my town at least twice a week until they received a special edition copy of New Moon. The next half hour was spent greedily absorbing every word of Eclipse's first chapter- twice! Ladies and gentleman, I do believe that I am obsessed! A bad thing? I think NOT!

About: When I read Twilight I was captivated. I sat down with it after school and read the entire book by 11 o’clock. When I went to bed I had vampire themed dreams. I couldn't stop thinking about it all day at school, I would hear something that reminded me of it and I get this aching in my chest. The words were so beautiful they filled me with pain; can you imagine that? I didn't realize until later when I read New Moon, when I was crying my eyes out over him leaving, that I'd fallen in love with Edward alongside Bella. I felt her pain. I imagine that everyone who reads these books would feel the same way. I felt myself needing Twilight/Stephenie Meyer/vampire fix. Twilight and New Moon are two of the best books I have ever read; the inspiring bonds of friendship and love make me cry. I honestly can't help it. What girl wouldn't want to be in Bella's shoes? Edward is kind, he's beautiful and he's dangerous. Stephenie's words make it so real that when you put the book down, and realize that you're not Bella it hurts: you want -- no need, more. The scenes cut out of the books have quenched my thirst thus far, as has the first chapter of Midnight Sun (Twilight's companion written from Edward’s point of view) and the alternate endings and storylines. The phone calls from Edward and Rosalie's point of views and anything else even written about the books. This has quickly turned to obsession. In a way I know that Stephenie Meyer really touches her fans, but I'm not sure that she knows that she touches them this much and this deep; waiting for Eclipse is gonna kill me. One thing that really connects me to how Meyer feels is that she makes soundtracks to her books. I unconsciously do this while I read and even wrote out one of my own. It's not ordered by chapter or whatever, it's just songs I thought went great with the books and make me cry when I listen cause it brings back that dull ache in my chest where my addiction lies.

About: Twilight arrived at my country around December, and for the past last months I had been wanting to write a fic about a human girl falling in love with a vampire. So imagine my reaction when I saw Twilight on a shelf at the bookstore! I became so obsessed I had to sleep at night with Twilight under my pillow or by my side, and I stayed until 6am in the morning reading New Moon. At school, the word 'Edward' and my name are totally related, and when I sit at my table at school first thing in the morning, it's full of “Edward&Bella”s written with a pencil. I started writing a fic in March and I was literally in tears as I finished writing the scene where Edward asked Bella to marry her. Every emotion Bella felt in the books, I felt it too, and Edward has become my soul and my life. I even did a calendar with all the events happening in the books in their correct days (the meadow is March 12th!) and didn't study for the next day's test because of that. I'm already planning to go to one of the book's prom when I finish High School, and on the way visit Forks and La Push. On the whole, Twilight and New Moon are the best thing that ever happened in my life, because without them it would be empty. I have seriously fallen in love with a fictional character. What can beat that?

About: Everyone that has read Twilight & New Moon suddenly becomes my friend or enemy (depending on their opinions of the books and characters). I've had the book in my hand many times and a random person would comment on it and then an hour later we are still discussing the books. I've made my best friend read it and every conversation we've had has somehow mentioned the book. Also when I bought my own copy of the book (I read my sisters, but I couldn't stop myself) the cashier commented on it. She said Bella should have gone for Jacob in New Moon. I argued with her until another customer interrupted. I have about 30 Photoshop blends of Emily and Henry and a couple dozen more avatars. Stephenie Meyer is my favorite author, no matter what book I've read or will read. It is simply amazing how she wrote this book. I pity those who have not read it and I have to read the books after every few books I read just because I can't stand waiting for Eclipse. The first time I read New Moon I stayed awake until 7am to finish it because I refused to sleep until Edward came back. I tried to prolong Twilight as long as I could but it was hard putting it down to do something else that I knew would be less interesting. My mum doesn't read much at all, but I basically forced her, "contemplating violence if she resisted" and she fell in love with it also. I sometimes quote the book just for the hell of it. Obsession is my newly gained quality when it comes to these books. I am truly afraid of watching the movie of Twilight when/if it comes out because of changes directors make and if they choose to not make the movie I will be forced to tell them how dumb they are.

About: Everybody at school calls me either the Edward girl or the Twilight girl. I literally can't be within 10 feet of anything when I have a pencil in my hand, or it will soon say "GO EDWARD!". My ILA teacher is going to read Twilight. I send all my free time on B&E. To say I'm obsessed would be to put it lightly. Since I've read Twilight, it's literally been my life. The book was so well written, and the characters felt so real. It was like I was watching the whole thing as it unfolded. I laughed, cried, and got very, very angry when I read Twilight/New Moon. Pretty much everything I do is somehow connected to Twilight. I even asked my parents if we could take a vacation in Forks, and I check the weather there daily. Stephenie Meyer basically opened up a whole new world for me. I truly don't think my life will ever be the same.

About: Well, how to put this? Twilight was the first book I ever read without stopping. I didn't stop to eat or drink, nothing. It wasn't just the fascinating story itself, but also the way in which it was written. It all just captivated me and refused to let me go. After finishing the book I became sad because I wanted it to continue. At the time I had no idea that it would have a sequel let alone turn into a series. I did try to read it again, however, I found myself unable. The magic was gone, it no longer captivated me with the intensity it had before. That part of Bella and Edward's life had already passed for me, and so I was unable to go back to it. This is why I became excited when I found out it had a sequel. In all reality, Twilight is the only book I have ever obsessed over. Sure, I've been entranced by several books before, but my passion for them dies away sooner or later and I move on. Twilight is the one book I have always come back to, and although I've never reread the whole thing, I'm still very much in love with it. I would like to note that I do reread my favorite parts...and sometimes a certain chapter to brush up on details...ya know, so people don't gape at me for the whole non-rereading thing. XD
