I started it but didn't finish it. I loved the premise of vampires hiding out in Forks because it's so cloudy (in a "hey! I've been to Forks!" way). But I didn't finish it because about 2/3 of the way in it started to feel overwrought, and the vampires were just TOO perfect and special.

I dig Julie Kenner's vampire books -- one series is YA, and the other is adult. They're kind of fluffy, but really fun, and the quality of her writing really improves as the series go on.

Also, Alyssa Day's Warriors of Poseidon/Atlantis books are TOTAL fluff, but they're like what the Anita Blake books *should* have been. There's plot, and witches and were-people and dudes from Atlantis, and The Sex, and vampires and other paranormal shit.

But mostly, what makes them way better than the Anita Blake books is, as I mentioned, the plot. They're not just excuses to write implausible (and un-sexy) sex scenes.

I thought Twilight was awful , except for the end. People keep telling me it gets better. I read the first book in the Kenner series for adults - but I got tired of the emphasis on keeping evreything from her husband.

beth, they do get better. The first one felt clunky to me, but the writing gets a lot better as the series goes on.

I read the hot new teenlit vampire sensation Twilight' a couple of months ago, and it just about made my head explode.

The Mormon vampire book!

They're never going to have sex. Interestingly, it was the exact same annoyance I felt with Anne Rices "erotica" -- JUST FUCK ALREADY

(after about a hundred pages I started skimming... does anyone ever actually have sex? or even an orgasm? or do we just find new ways to tease/torture them forever and ever? dear gawd, someone rub one out. Please. this is not titilating, its just making me tired.)

Werid Dreams: Last night I was seeing my cousins' play in their band (not unusual) but Gerard Way was there wearing a horrible red track jacket and we went for a walk afterwards (quite unusual). We were talking and trying to stay out of trouble in this too-quiet part of Jersey City and there was some smooching. Dream!Gerard (is there any other?) is a very good kisser.

Wait, no, that was an awesome dream.

Yikes, I was outside enjoying a glorious (if a little to hot all of a sudden - 86 degrees!)day, and then I saw a man have what looked like an epliectic seizure. Luckily, somebody was right on her cell phone to 911, and someone else was helping her, so there wasn't much more to be done. That's some scary stuff though. The brain is a mighty weird organ, I tell you what.

Dear gawd, someone rub one out

I was skimming and thought this said, "Dear gawd, rub someone out." I thought maybe I'd misread and you were actually erika.

BWAH!

Halp! Which of these 2 sandals should I order?

When you wanna post about killing every motherfucker in the room...(/faux SLJ) Count me as being alternately amused/frustrated by the Twilight books. Nothing says loving like doing somebody's laundry for unlife. I think the pages are coated in crack, though. For a few days, I couldn't stop reading, though the politics make me wanna cry.
