My continued regression

I entered the store and looked around for my intended purchase. I wasn't exactly sure where in the store they kept my item, so I scanned the place for an obvious section that would have it. As I made my way through the store I saw the section that would definitely have it. Entering the Teen Books area, I scoured the shelves for my item. Damn it! They couldn't really be out of it, could they? I momentarily panicked. Then, out of the corner of my eye I spotted a pile of them on the floor. Phew, that was a close one. I picked up a shiny new copy of 'New Moon', Stephanie Meyer's second installment in the 'Twilight' series and headed for the register.

Once at the register, the female clerk asked me if the book was for me. Honestly, I thought she would would say something to me about the book, given that the target audience is half my age, and female. I told her it was indeed for me. I said that I had just finished the previous book and immediately came over to pick up the next one. She smirked a knowing glance and rang me up. She told me the last two books in the series are only available in hardcover, so I would need to pony up the extra cash for those ones. I will gladly do that.

So here I sit. As soon as I finish typing this post I am going to plunk down in a comfy chair and pick up reading about Bella and Edward's atypical romance. This series is like a drug. I just can't get enough.
