I'm pretty certain that the book wasn't that big around here before I read it.
I mean, I had only ever heard of the books here, on the DIS. I never saw them in bookstores.
And then one day my friend mentioned that they were good and I read them.
And nobody really said anything until their friends started reading them...
I think it's mostly in light of the movie that people around here started reading them, but I don't really know.
But now the Twilight books are at the front of Chapters under a sign that says 'Bella's Reading List'. That's where most of the copies are, there's like two copies of each in the teen section.
