Dangerous Lovers

October 23, 2006 · Print This Article

No, I’m not talking about that Grey’s Anatomy storyline last Thursday with the lovers who were rushed to the emergency room, painfully– ah– stuck together thanks to a misguided piercing, an IUD, and their own cheatin’ hearts, although… hee. That was pretty funny. And gross. But mostly funny.

No, I’m talking about Bella, the new girl at the high school in the small town of Forks, Washington, who falls in love with the beautiful, mysterious Edward, who finds himself helplessly drawn to her, as well. In fact, Edward has a hell of a time controlling the blood lust Bella arouses in him. You know… him being a vampire and all?

Okay, I admit it. I have absolutely fallen in love with the New York Times bestseller Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer. I know, right?! She totally had me at “Bella falls in love with a vampire.” The story is equal parts sensual (but in a dark, deeply romantic way) and heart-poundingly suspenseful, and quite honestly, I haven’t enjoyed a fantastical, star-crossed love story this much since Angel left Buffy…

Right, then. Just thought I’d share.

Carry on.

    Whew! Sorry I didn’t comment when I was here earlier. I was dashing off to the local Border’s to buy this book based on your glowing recommendation. (There are no good independent bookstores here - what is up with THAT?) Anyhoo… they didn’t have it!! HELLO??? I ran out of time (Sue was blathering about dinner or something), but tomorrow the book WILL be mine! I heart vampires. And good stories about vampires. But not anything TOO scary, mind you. Umm.. yeah. Okay then. Toodles!

    William, my alter-ego, Catherine, can’t read ENOUGH books. She is an unashamed bibliophile. She loves books WAY more than TV. WAY. Just so you know.

    Dude. Don’t you hate it when Cat talks in third person? Hello?! Loser!

    You can CLICK HERE to read an old post (I was tagged, yo?) to learn a little bit more about where my reading tastes lie…

    Dude, you need to send this link to Stephanie. She should know that Catherine is making her a “Supa-stah!”

Got something to say?
