Never Judge a Book by its Movie

So... guess what best-selling series I started reading again today? You guessed it- the twilight series. Now hear me out, I am not an obsessed fan, though I did realize when I was reading The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner that I truly do love the books :) . I was obsessed with the series in 2008, when I first read them. This will be my fourth time reading the 1st book, the only other book in the series I have read more then once is New Moon. My favorite is Breaking Dawn though.
Starting to read the series again made me realize how much I hate the movies, Kristen Stewart's buck teeth, man voice, and forever-blinking eyelids is not the Bella Swan that is in the books for me, she is just a bad actress in a cheap, lame movie. For me, The books are a whole different world then the movie , the characters are all different, the setting is all different, the story is different. The story is better.
I was hesitant when the first movie came out because I thought it would ruin the books for me. It did in someways, it definitely made the series seem more lame. But now as I am reading Twilight , I am able to force the bad-actors from the movie out of my mind and bring the characters that I found the first time I read it back to life, as well as the settings.
So I am still a proud owner of all 5 twilight books, and I got to admit, kind of embarassed to own the first Twilight movie.
