Borders Treat

     What would you do with a Borders Gift Card?


You mean you wouldn't buy Twilight related stuff?  Well tough, that's what I went hunting for earlier, LOL. I thought I'd check out how much a box-set of the books cost.  Wait a minute, don't I already have my own books? Well yeah but I don't have a box-set, LOL. My Twilight book is from a different publisher and is smaller in size compared to the others, isn't that just tragic?!  

     But seriously, I was so generous in spreading my Twilight love that I'd loaned out my books. Alas, they have come back in not-so-perfect condition! So I have been planning to get a set that's just for me and the older set, I'll loan out to help spread the love, even more. Since I had the a Borders Gift Card, I thought I'd use it for that very reason. I saw the books and thought of buying but instead, here's what I ended up with...


      Now how could I possibly pass up on those! They practically called out to me! 

     The Twilight Illustrated Movie Companion was something I did not know about since my interest started after watching the movies and by the time I knew about its existence, it was sold out and I didn't think it would be sold here again.  That's now added to my Twi-collection. 

     The Twilight in Forks DVD was one I never thought we'd have here at all. And gosh, am I glad I bought it! My friends were raving about it but I did not realize the magnitude of it until I watched it for myself. It is one amazing DVD!  I put it into my notebook with the intention of checking to ensure it's not faulty but I was riveted from the get-go and watched it all in one sitting!

      I confess that some parts left me choked up, especially one account of an elderly Quileute man who recounted of his encounter with a family and how he would never forget the expression on the young girl's face when the waiter at the diner announced that Jacob Black's grandfather had arrived. I could tell it left an impact on both the little girl and this gentleman as well.

     The people of Forks are so welcoming and speak with such warmth that anyone watching this DVD would be very inclined to visit it.  I confess that I have a sudden yearning to visit it myself!

This Forks DVD is what pushed me over the edge. Hence the "need" to schedule the visit.
