Today is the book's lead character's birthday, and Forks is going over the top crazy!

I left it at my parents house a couple weeks ago when I only had 20 pages left (right about the moderately pathetic climax) and I guess I never bothered to pick it up again till a couple days ago. Anyway, I hope the Brinkerhoff ladies enjoy their get away!
