Quiz: The Ultimate Twilight Saga

Okay, I will now finally admit to you:  There are three book series in the world that I have not yet read, ever.  The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, and The Lord of the RingsTwilight series by Stephenie Mayer I have finished every book, except the novella about Bree Tanner.  Why?  You ask me, when I do not even like series books, let alone paranormal fiction, and especially vampires?  It is because of the pure and simple reason that I did not have anything better to do. by J.R.R. Tolkien.  


You see, I read the complete series at work.  My first job was not as a nurse, I was working as a 'glorified typist' who reviewed medical records day in and day out.  I sat in front of the computer and typed eight to sixteen hours in a day, five days a week.  There were times when I would get really bored and tired with what I was doing and my wrists would ache and shake with all the typing I did.  So one day, I found this folder on my computer (which was also used by other employees) that contained all these digital books and one of them was the Twilight series.  I read them all, and I was able to finish them in one week, while keeping ahead of my deadlines.  Reading books energized me, even though what I read was not something I was totally into.

Word of caution though:  Never, ever, ever do what I did, it might get you fired.

I later learned that those books belonged to my boss.

Again, thank you to ProProfs.com and Twilight Obsessed for this quiz!




And don't forget to share your result!  As for mine, well it's safe to say that I failed, despite my reading the complete series.  :D

  1. I have not read all the books from either of the series. I would fail this quiz big time. :-)

  2. HAHAHA! I don't like paranormal fiction either. I think this is why we are bloggy friends!

    And it's so funny! I read the first book in the series bc when I was singing in Puerto Rico. It was a 3 week singing workshop with a lot of downtime...long story short, I went to the teeny tiny library and found a small box with the only books they had in English...which were Twilight and Uglies!

  3. I read the series too (my girl friend told me to!), but I only got three correct answers in the quiz! I guess she’ll ace the quiz if she answered it. Anyway, the series did you good in the end – you were able to pass the time at work while resting your wrists. Hope the series got you engaged in reading in general!

I just have to tell you, ARGH feeds on awesomeness, so if you can, drop him some awesome here, and I promise to give some awesome back :D

Right now, because of my really busy schedule, I'm cutting back on receiving awards. So until further notice, me and ARGH would not be accepting awards. But thank you for thinking of us, we really appreciate it!
