And the winner is… #20 Kath who wrote "I'm the biggest fan of Twilight because it's the first book series and subsequent movie that made me feel like a teenager again. Inching up to my 50's, I'm usually not attracted to the teen sort of stuff, but my daughter insisted I read the books and after seeing the movie I have one hot cougar crush on R-Patz and the doctor fella."

i liked the books before this whole commotion started i mean i seen twilight i can see the book through bellas eyes and i love all the actors also my room is filled with twilight i mean everywhere also i take my books everywhere i go its like a purse to me that is why i should win
while on vacation in PEI last year when the last book was released. I had blasted through the first two in under a week and needed to get the third. Needless to say, all the hype of the books had definatley caught throughout the island. The third book seemed to be the most popular. I spent two days of my beach vacation visiting every grocery/book/corner store looking for a copy. I didnt get the book until a week later when we made our way into Halifax, and even then I got the 2nd to last copy. Ya, it was pretty traumatic.
and edward cullen is dreamy. there. i said it.
But after some convincing (by my male boss, ironically), I picked up my first copy...within 20-pages I was hooked. And I'm not talking I'll-just-read-it-when-I-have-free-time, I'm talking I would avoid going out JUST TO read it. The complexity, the intricacies, the interwoven and detailed storylines all tied together to serve a purpose. Bella was relatable, she was ME, and Edward was her one vice, the one thing she couldn't figure out and have. The first-person reading showed her inner-thoughts, her awkwardness.
The love-stories between her and Edward, her and Jacob, and their struggles to fit as a group were amazingly relatable as well, in a super-natural world.
I wouldn't call myself a "Twihard" fan, but I am definitely a strong fan who is looking forward to New Moon's direction.
I have all the books, and have read them all in increasing order (the first 3 times, the second 4, the third 5 and so on), I have watched the movie, as of now, 8 times, I have Twilight posters all over my bedroom.
And simply all I can talk of is twilight :]
I love love love this book series. I got hooked fast - I resisted for a long time and as soon as I cracked the first book I couldn't put it down. It sucked me it - I have 2 young kids and I basically neglected them until I was done with the series - think my husband was jealous of the books too. Loved the movie too - it was cast well.

Seriously though, Edward is completely cute and the series is very entertaining.
My little sister got me hooked. At first I didn't want to read the book. I got bored one day and I ended up finishing the whole saga in a week. I took my sister to watch the movie and she loved the way Bella dresses. Casual but cute!
I would say i am the biggest fan because though I did not want to jump on the bandwagon like everyone else but my mother bought me the book and I ended up really liking them. I own all books you can see the wear and tear in them. I also own the movie and have watched it quiet a few times. I can't quote the book or the movie but i still love them none the less. And i love that jacket. I do not think this is the greatest book of all time. But i feel for them i can say i have been in her place. Being torn between multiple things.
Also I think the movie turned out so great!
P.S.: is this giveaway international??
I have to say BB, this contest is genius marketing
I would only consider myself a fan of Twilight because it's fun to laugh at. The writing is atrocious! The movie is horrible because the books are horrible; what script was there to look at? It's completely unbelievable and the characters are shallow. But I did laugh my head off watching the first movie, so maybe I'll watch the second one, too.
Now I can spend my nights wearing Bella's jacket as I sit in my Edward shrine. That way he'll love me. Kinda like I WAS Bella. Like that dude wore other people... who was it... Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.. lol idk.
I AM the ultra-super-mega-most-awesomefull fan ever!
Omg that was almost as many adjectives as Stephane Meyer would use! She would be soooo proud. I love reading all of her descriptive-ness. Not a sentence goes by where I don't know the tension of Edward's muscles or the exact shade of his eyes!
I looooove how perfect the characters are. Their personalities are such a blank slate I can imagine them how I want!
Well g2g!
We shine together,
Told you I'd live forever,
Said I'll always be your lover,
Took a bite,
An I'mma stick it out to the end,
Know that we'll still have each other,
You can be my vampire Bella,
Ella Ella
Eh Eh Eh
My vampire Bella
Ella Ella
Eh Eh Eh...
I also waited in line to see the movie at its midnight release, even though the weather was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. And when it was released on DVD, I drove around to get it that night at midnight to watch it a few times in a row that night.
I absolutely LOVE Twilight, and BB Dakota pieces are wonderful, I would love the chance to win this Bella jacket. Thanks so much for the great giveaway!
I loved the book. The type of story is exactly the kind that I liked. Overall, it is very interesting. Get me hooked.
I can say though, in my own eyes I believe I'm a very big fan.
I am a huge fan of the Twilight book series more than the movie itself.
A few days after the first book was released (Twilight) I was just roaming around the book store and once I read a few pages I KNEW I had to buy it!
Right away I fell in love with it!
I felt as if I was Bella, like I was seeing everything through her eyes.
It's so amazing and remarkable how much Stephenie made the series to be somewhat relate-able. I for some reason knew back then that the series was going to be a big phenomenal hit!
You know it's an amazzzzing book to say the least, when you can feel so many different emotions by only just reading it!
I love how it's a love story, the whole thing is just such a phenomenon. It's not cliche at all - like most love stories are. And then to add vampires into the whole thing.. wow.
It really does get your imagination going! It makes you believe in these things and to actually have hope that 'vampires' exist. Haha funny sounding. But really!!
I don't know if ranting on and on about how much of an amazing author Stephenie Myer is, will prove how much of a big fan I am or not. But at least I can just share how I feel about her.
She really is a remarkable woman.
I thank her every day for making the series - because in some odd ways; it really did change my life a lot.
It taught me to look at things from a completely different perspective.
And the MOVIE!!! Wow, completely amazing. I can't get over it.
If I was in control and could change anything about it - I wouldn't.
All the actors are phenomenal!
They totally fit the part.
Watching it gives me such goosebumps, on how real the whole situation seems. I know once I see New Moon it's going to tear my heart to shreds. But the ending is what will help me make it through it - hahaha. When Edward comes back into it!
I don't want to sound too much of a 'twihard' but I literally own every single piece of Twilight merch there is.
- Twilight fans, you'd love my room! It really is a sight to see.
I don't think that could even prove how loyal and dedicated I am to the whole thing though. I really do love the whole concept of it all.
I'm so glad Stephenie made the series! She's so amazing!
And thank you so much for giving us all the opportunity to enter for this!
