Welcome, book friends!
To listen to my real-time reaction to this series, you can check out the full episodes on The Bookmarks ‘n Blankets Podcast on your favorite podcast platform or listen below.
I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books if you’ve read them. I invite you to hop over to X (aka Twitter), Facebook, or Instagram where you can leave me a comment.

UPDATE: I will be finishing this series in 2026.
I’ve decided to read the entire Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. Although I’ve never read the books, I’ve watched all the movies and own them, so I don’t expect too many surprises. Still, I’m eager to FINALLY experience the series firsthand and see what all the hype is about.
I thought it would be fun to share my reactions in real-time as I read through the five main Twilight Saga books. For now, I’m skipping the companion and novella books. My inspiration came from several BookTubers I follow on YouTube, who create reading vlogs and share their thoughts as they go through a book. I figured I could do something similar on my podcast, sharing my thoughts and opinions through audio.
Here’s the plan: I’ll read the first 25-30% of the book and then share my initial thoughts in real-time. I’ll check in again around the 50-60% mark to give another update, and then give my final thoughts once I’m done with the book. Just a heads-up—these reviews contain spoilers. Since most people have already read the books and seen the movies, I’ll be openly discussing all aspects of the series.
I’m excited to share my reading journey with this beloved and popular YA fantasy series. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoy recording! Enjoy!
*As mentioned in the second episode, below are the 20th anniversary special editions released in September 2025.
