I haven't, meara. Thanks for the rec, though. It's not currently kindle-able unfortunately, but I'll look for it next time I'm in B&N.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

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."

He's unearthly beautiful, has superhuman strength, his eyes change color, and the book deliberately takes place in a small Washington town with the most rainfall of any city in the U.S.
If they mean hours of rain, rather than inches of rain, that would be Olympia. Though (even excluding Alaska and 20 days of night) there may another U.S. town that has the fewer hours of direct sun due fog and dark clouds without rain.

OMG this is the sparkly book, amirite? Where the vampires turn out to fluoresce under starlight?

Under sunlight, yep.
I ended up reading all three of them. They're mindless fun, and the first book is the weakest of the lot.

It's called "Forks" or some such craziness but I think it is not real.

Forks is real. We drove through it Labor Day weekend on one of the rare sunny days.

La Push, apparently also a location in the books? Also real.
(One of my leftover textbooks from high school has a random sketch of WA state with a little dot for La Push, because a friend was headed there for the weekend, and I was asking him where the hell it was. The answer is "Kinda near Forks, let me draw it.")
