It’s okay to admit it – you have an opinion about the Twilight series, just like everyone else on Earth. Whether you love it or hate it, you’ve probably spent longer than you’d like to thinking about the folks up in Forks. I resisted the pull of these horny teenage vampires for years before finally giving in to my girlfriend’s plea to watch the movies with her. It only took thirty minutes of Kristen Stewart looking bored and Robert Pattinson looking constipated to make me […]

This is definitely not my brand of heroin…

I think this officially marks the end of the week of finishing my bingo-inspired bad choices. Well let’s be honest, I can’t really blame bingo for this one. Allow me to thoroughly embarrass myself for a moment:15 years ago, I was really into Twilight. I mean really into it, in a pre-ordering-the-books-as-they-came-out, getting-involved-in-fandom-on-LiveJournal,-reading-and-writing-fanfiction,-taking-the-train-to-Belgium-to-watch-the-movie-on-opening-weekend-because-it-took-a-couple-of-months-for-it-to-get-to-the-theater-in-France kind of way.

I’d never thought I’d have to be here, reviewing Twilight. I never thought I’d be in a place where I’ve read Twilight. But I am, and it’s all Rainbow Rowell’s fault. To recap: I first read Landline and, like all rational humans, absolutely loved it. Before I even digested the majesty of Rowell’s word soup, […]

Maybe she’s not the best role model

Yeah, I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve read all fourTwilight books by Stephenie Meyer. I was curious what all the fuss was about–both positive and negative–and they were easy to read. The Host (2008), on the other hand, was a selection by my book club. It wasn’t something I would have chosen to read on my own, but I was also curious to see Meyer’s take on science fiction. ***Beware of spoilers ahead. I believe that anyone who was actually interested in this book must have […]
