Also . . . Clan of the Cave Bear. Totally my own doing. I even read the most recent one, which was TERRIBLE!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-publishing-phenomenon-have-you-been-a-part-of#post-268898 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:16:34 +0000 lovebird 268898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read them all: Twilight, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, 50 Shades and you might as well add the Southern Vampire Mysteries (aka Sookie Stackhouse Novels), all the Nicholas Sparks novels to that list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-publishing-phenomenon-have-you-been-a-part-of#post-268882 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:13:31 +0000 luckypenny 268882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant I read all of the girl with dragon attoo &amp; hunger games series. Just now starting 50 shades but not that into it so far </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-publishing-phenomenon-have-you-been-a-part-of#post-268703 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:34:41 +0000 Turd Ferguson 268703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I started Harry Potter back in the day and stopped after the 4th book. I read the Twilight books (but haven't seen ANY of the movies), The Hunger Games, and 50 Shades...</p> <p>Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-publishing-phenomenon-have-you-been-a-part-of#post-268670 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:27:36 +0000 littlebug 268670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister gave me the first Harry Potter book before they blew up. I was an addict from the start. I read the Hunger Games after like a dozen of my facebook friends recommended them to me. And I read The Girl series after my dad recommended it. It took me a while, though - I started the first one and couldn't get into it, then went back to it about 6 months later and forced myself to give it more of a chance. Ended up loving them. Have not and will not read Twilight or 50 Shades. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-publishing-phenomenon-have-you-been-a-part-of#post-268645 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:23:52 +0000 mrsjazz 268645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I am like you. I refused to read Harry Potter until last year. I made it to the beginning of the 2nd book before I gave up.</p> <p>I did read Hunger Games--but not when it first came out.</p> <p>I am a bit of a literature snob since I am a writer, so the bandwagons I jumped on are/were for literary fiction and memoirs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-publishing-phenomenon-have-you-been-a-part-of#post-268596 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:12:27 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 268596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HP and hunger games. and, okay, the twilight books, too.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-publishing-phenomenon-have-you-been-a-part-of#post-268586 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:11:07 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 268586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to be stubborn about these things and hold out just because. I did finally read 50 Shades to see if it was as bad as some people say. It was. But it sucked me in anyway. Sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-publishing-phenomenon-have-you-been-a-part-of#post-268494 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:49:26 +0000 mrbee 268494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: haha nope!

I've read them all about 5 times each. Also the Hunger Games trilogy - love them.
