I’ve found myself engrossed in a book, and it’s hard to put it down and do any of the other millions of things that need to get done. I’m 3\/4 of the way through New Moon,<\/a> which is the second in a series of three books by Stephanie Meyer. Twilight was the first one, and yes, it’s about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. It sounds hokey, I know, and it kind of is. At times I get annoyed with the story, that it goes on and on and they don’t get to the action, even though I KNOW what’s going to happen a lot of the time. But it’s captivating and I WANT to read it. What’s your take on this? I think it’s too mature for the targeted teenage audience, and I even wish the main character, Bella, were not a high school student, as I feel that no girl that young could really fall in love that hard, nor should she be in a serious relationship (with vampire, werewolf or human). But it’s sweeping the neighborhood here, and even some of Megan’s 11 year old friends have read all three books. I’m glad that a BYU graduate has written these successful books, and I’m happy for her and her millions, and I think it’s a fun, entertaining read, but maybe not the best literature out there. What’s your opinion?<\/p>\n

On the other hand, even though I’m not getting squat done here at the homestead, I like that feeling of being wrapped up in a book.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I like thinking about the characters and wondering what they will do next.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 But I don’t like that disappointed let down feeling when it’s over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
