I got this email and had to post it:
Ok, so I know that this is mainly a young adult book but let’s hear it for not only for Twilight MOMs, but I think there needs to be a new category for Twilight GRANDMOTHERS!!!!!
I’m 51 years young and have 5 beautiful grandbabies and I, along with my three daughters, LOVE Twilight! So widen out your range of fans just a little and leave room for us over 50’s!! This just proves that you’re never too old for a little romance!
Oh, by the way, I just told my mom about these books too, and so there might even be a need for Twilight GREATGRANDMOTHERS!
Love Ya!L.

She’s not the only one, I got my grandmother into Twilight as well. Now we e-mail each other back and forth debating and discussing the series.
How neat is that! They’ve got three generations worth of Twilighters, maybe even four! That’s insane.
My Gramma read it and adored it. I let my other Gramma borrow it, but she’s not so into reading. I dunno. But Twilight is a book for anyone, so I don’t know why there aren’t more fanclubs out there consisting of people other than teenage girls. Books are not directed toward one group; they’re for every body.
holy crap. i wish more of my family was into reading. starting today im going to try and get as many members of my family that i can to read twilight.
My grandma also read Twilight, though I don’t think she read New Moon and Eclipse, but that’s beside the point. I believe that she was the first in my extended family to read the book which she had got from her neice and then went on to pass it around the family and get us all hooked.
thats awesome!
Im sooooo getting my grandmother into it..
and the rest of my family..
GO GRANDMA! =D
Go Twilight MOMS, GRANDMOMS and GREATGRANDMOMS!!!
I’m the only one in my family who is into reading -.-
I think its awesome that odler people are reading the books too! They’re great books and just becuase they say Young Adult doesnt mean only young adults have to read them!
GO TWILIGHT MOMS, GRANDMOMS, AND GREAT GRANDMOMS!!!AND MAYBE EVEN GREAT GREAT GRANDMOMS!!haha, oh and of course Twilight Guys too!
hm what’s next? Twilight toddlers?
cooooooooooool!!
omg i wish MY grandma read these things it would be so tight….
i read it and my sister reads too
wow. kinda reminds me of the first chapter of new moon…..
cutest
thing
EVER
even guys reading Twilight aren’t THIS cute!!!
I DEMAND A TWILIGHTGRANNY’S FANSITE!!! NOW!!!
I got my grandma to read it, and so far, she is the only person I’ve ever seen to give it a semi-lukewarm response, saying that, “with the exception of one scene,” it was a good book for young girls. I’ve no idea what scene she was talking about, though -.-;
Ha Ha..my Grandma starts them right after I read them for the 7th time..even though I’m stressing because they’re going to be away from me for awhile..:( but yeah Go all TWILIGHT FANS!! Woot! Woot!
YaY! I’m trying to get my grandmother to read twilight too! Cause every day I talk about twilight (mainly Edward Cullen lol!) she says this to me every day “Why do you love this Edward Cullen guy? He’s a vampire! for crying out loud” I reply to her “Read the book” she just rolls her eyes. It’s my final act to get her to read Twilight YAY TWILIGHT GRANDMOTHERS!!
Oh wow. That’s awesome.
I’d so have my mother and grandmother read the Twilight series but they’re not so great with English. I could try…
aw that was really sweet.
I’m more amused at the fact that you are sending her a t-shirt. I think I’d crack up if I saw a 90 year old wearing a Twilight Tee. XD
I’m glad to hear that you love Twilight too! I wonder if my 73 year old mother would like it too.
Haha. I just made my brother read it, and hes all “I dont like it, its dumb!”, but i also saw him steal my New Moon and Eclipse..
You know you’ve got a good book, and series, on your hands when people of all ages can pick it up and enjoy it. Good job to Stephanie Meyer, and kudos to all you 50+ twilighters out there. That’s really cool ;p
The depressing thing is that my Grandma doesn’t read…and she’d refuse to read anything on vampires. Then again, guess what? I flipped when I found out she was born in Chicago in 1918…
Thats so cool! I might ask my grandmother to read twilight, but my own mom would never of heard of the series if it weren’t for me, and she even hasn’t read them yet, even though I’ve tried to force her to.
My grandma might like it, she likes romances, but the books she reads are more like adult romances so we’ll see. But then again, she might forget Lol
that’s so awesome <3 i don’t know if my gramma would like the series buuuut i think it would be interesting to send her a few books and find out 🙂
thanks for the idea, random grandmother lady! you’re awesome! 🙂
:/ boo my two grannys are dead so there’s no way I can make them read Twilight….lol It counts if I read Twilight on their graves?
Sniffff.
Utterly brilliant. 😛
I am not a grandma…but I am 50+…there are a few of us at TWILIGHT MOM’S…I am glad there are more out there.
That’s so awesome!
ha me too my grandmothers would have to read it in their graves. good luck with that one!
Haha, that’s so cool!
haha, that’s great! they should totally start a “Twilight GRANDmoms” site 😛
That’s amazing! I’m having a hard time just getting my mom to read it!
I’m not surprized. Twilight is so good people of all ages read it. Still its good to have reasurance. I’m only eleven and I LOVE Twilight! 🙂
Stevie was here
Awesome! I could a couple of my grandmothers (I have three) reading Twilight. In fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if one of them or my aunts started talking about it on vacation this year. They follow the hot books pretty heavily.
My Grandmother hasn’t read Twilight, in fact I don’t think she has even ever heardof it. I guss that not a surprize because the live in Minasota and away from other life, not internet, an antient TV, and an antient phone. My aunt has read it though! 🙂 She was the one who gave it to me for Christmas! I will forever be in debut to her for introducing me to Twilight! Twilight Aunt 🙂
Stevie was here, again
OMG! Haha, I got my grandmother to read it too! Although she is a Jacob fan.. :-p
Thats so cute!!! Thats all i have to say in fact. One of the shortest comments i’ve ever written here!
My 70 year old aunt (who is a grandmother and great-grandmother) introduced me to the Twilight series (and I’m eternally grateful).
I can’t even get my mom to read them let alone my grandmother.
I positively LOVE them though
I am a grandmother of one and i have four children and most say a very crazy person well i would love to have some older friends ,i adore twilight and i have shirts and other stuff ,i would like to gain some friends that like the things i do ,fact is i am writing my own book ,i do write have all my life but just for friends and family but stephine has inspired me .anyway i will tell you why twilight touched my heart ,i never was given the chance to have that struck feeling of what my first love should of been
it was taken from me by abuse oh sure i had that DONNIE OSMOND PICTURE HUNG ON MY CLOSET DOOR AND DREAMED OF GREATER THINGS BUT in truth my life was forever changed by the course of what my addopted father did to me at a very young age untill i was about sixteen or so ,and it is what i live with everyday
but to feel the simple pull between edward and bela is awesome
Hey – my Grandson told me about the books. He knows I like vamps. I read them before I watched the Movie and I’m hooked. WHen I watch them or read the books, I’m no longer a Grandma. Can’t get enough. And the sound track and score are awesome. So — you go all you Twilight Grandmas. ANd, I don’t care what Stephen King says – Stephanie can just keep them coming.
I am just going to reply to the first blog about the Twilight series. I subscribed to the comments via e-mail. I wish there was a discussion about the depth of Stephanie Meyers' saga. I am a 67-year old grandmother who has read the saga twice, and have now seen both movies. I have never been a fan of vampires, but my granddaughter and daughter were so into the saga that they could not tear themselves away from the books. They too have read the saga, at least, twice. I was hooked with the first reading of Twilight. After I read the 4 books, I went back and re-read them, highlighting all the themes, insights, ideas, answers to human questions that Stephanie seems to know and raise etc. I knew other grandmas had to be reading the saga. I am so glad to see this blog.

I just found this site…guess I've been a bit reluctant to admit my obsession with Twilight Saga. I have rooted out all of Rob Pattinson's movies, same with Kristen and Taylor's. I can't get enough and cannot wait for Breaking Dawn's release. I need to hook up with other grandmothers and/or mothers who want to talk about various topics all Twilight related.
For instance: In the final scene sequence in Twilight where Edward and Bella are dancing and Bella starts to insist that Edward change her right then and there…I watch Edward's face contort as he fights with his desire for her blood, then leans over and gently kisses her neck. His next lines are equally as compelling as is his facial expression, “Aren't you satisfied to just spend the rest of your life with me?”
I keep replaying this scene because I find the expression Rob was able to emote and which was caught on the film and it convinced me that he, of all the others has a huge career as an actor in his future. He's amazing. I just need to talk to others about it. My DIL turned me onto the series, but with two young children she doesn't have the time to talk about it.
Help me?
