When I was in sixth grade, I had a rather outgoing friend who was friends with another Quiet Kid (TM) like me. One day I saw her reading Rising Storm (I remember the cover, I kind of read a line or two over her shoulder but since I had no context I can't remember what it was at all), and I was just kind of interested in it.
THEN one of the book order sheets (oh man, guys, remember those……. remember…) had Midnight in it, and I was like !!! those were the books (friend) was reading!! And so I ordered it, but my mom was like “um if that's the first book of the second series don't you want the first one?” and so she got me some of the first series! I don't remember how quickly I plowed through them or anything, but Twilight was the book that had most recently come out, I think. I found Ww when I was looking up info about Sunset's release date.
I have all the books in paperback and then Moonlight onwards are in hardcover. So, about that timeframe. Woo!
I started this book series in sixth grade and now I'm a senior in college and I still read them and that's just so weird to believe
