Meyers is excellent. Twilight is a great book. I couldn’t put it down. The second, New Moon, was so-so. I found myself skimming through parts so I would know what was happening but not all of the details. I attribute my lack of interest to teen angust and the absence of a few of the characters. I’m now reading Eclipse, and once again I can’t seem to put it down. I’ve been so tempted to read the last chapter so I know how it ends, but I’ve been a good little girl. I’ll know how it ends soon enough.

I downloaded P&P and S&S sometime last week. I used to love them both, but now, I just can’t seem to read them. Who knows, my mood must be off.

I love YA. I’m really glad you posted about Meyers because somebody asked me if I’d heard of a hot new YA vampire novel. Now, I can tell them yes. I’m sure she’s who the person was asking me about. I haven’t read those either, but I’m going to add her to my list too. :bub:

Amy — Did you know Jodi Picoult is writing a Wonder Woman arc right now? I think it’s still going. I haven’t read the last few issues yet. :ww:

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Picoult too, but most of her books seem a little depressing. Even the WW arc is a bit of a downer.

I’m probably going to get shot for saying this, but I was never a big fan of P&P. I like Sense and Sensibility much better. And the S&S movie totally rocks. Who thought Alan Rickman in period clothes would be sexy? 😎

Right now I’m reading _Plain Truth_ by Jodi Picoult. She’s my new “author of the moment” and I’ve been reading everything of hers I can find. They are all very sad stories, but I’m really enjoying them. My book club chose _Pride and Prejudice_ for this month’s book, so I’m trying to put of reading that again. Brings back memories of 10th grade when I had to read it for school. 😐

You should add Armstrong to your list. I recommend Bitten and Stolen. Those are my 2 favorites. The magic books were pretty good, but after those I just lost interest.

I just finished Stephenie Meyers first Twlight book and loved it. (It’s YA, but a really good read). I was dying to know what happened, so I ran by Walden’s and picked up the next 2. I can’t wait to finish them. Have you read any of those?

I found myself saying “Huh?” and “What?” when I read the last Harry Potter. Some of Rowling’s plot machinations were a bit hard to follow. I also get the same way whenever I read the latest Robert Jordan novel. I don’t even remember who half the characters are anymore.

I never quite grasped the Heroine motivation. Why would a cop turn into a hitwoman? The explanation given just didn’t mesh for me. After a bit, I got over it and moved on.

The hero tended to answer in non-sentences and I did find myself having to re-read his monologue several times. But I eventually got it.

I loved the character interactions, the plot, and the action scenes.

Overall, good book. Not Armstrongs best by far. My favorite is still Bitten.
