HAHAHAHAHA! Wait till you get to the last book. My bf still thinks I'm making it up.
I wish I were.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I started reading the first one when I was recovering from my wisdom tooth extraction, then picked up the second mostly so that I could figure out the whole Team Edward and Team Jacob thing that a few of my fellow grad students are always arguing about. My sister said these books were "so romantic." (Well, she says the fourth one is weird, but the first three are romantic.) I think I'm even more disturbed than I was when she insisted Wuthering Heights was romantic.

Always Anti-fascist!
That last one seriously grossed me out. And you know the kind of stuff I read generally. But I'm not ashamed to say that I quit without finishing.

Because books.
My niece just turned twelve and she's reading the last one now. She's completely into the whole thing. She asked if I liked the stories, and I said, "Well ... it was quite an idea, wasn't it?"
That was about as far as I could go without breaking her heart.

I was so tired and fuzzy last night that I re-read part of Eclipse while taking a bath last night. Because snickering and rolling my eyes makes me feel better, or something.

There's no shame in that, Jilli!
And I know -- I KNOW -- that if I were 13, I would eat these books up with a spoon and ask for more.
But then, I thought Jondalar was HAWT, too.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I was with a group of friends a few weeks ago who were talking about the Twilight books and movies. I mentioned how funny I found them, and I think my friends were offended. Oops.

I think that, even at 13, I would have stopped liking Edward after that scene at the end of New Moon where Bella tries to walk over to Jacob and Edward grabs her and won't let her.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not so sure about that. At 13, I loved Rhett Butler, and there are a few similar scenes there.
