Bella's Book Club

Hellooooo0! Anyone reading this blog?

Just wanted to tell you about something I'm doing here at the library. I've started a book club for teens that only discusses books LIKE Twilight. They are all Bella fans, so we've decided to call it Bella's Book Club. I've also created a blog for the group, that went live yesterday. If you'd like to check it out, it's at: http://bellabookclub.blogspot.com/
You can make comments on books we are reading, if you'd like. Currently, the group is reading Vampire Kisses by Schreiber, Ellen. It's sort of sophomoric, really. The characters are flat, and it's not at all as good as some of the other vampire fiction I've read, but the kids really dig it.

In the story of Vampire Kisses, Alexander, the romantic vampire lead, can always be found painting in his attic room, listening to "goth music". The author specifically mentions The Cure and The Smiths, which I found hilarious. So, he's a goth 80's vampire, then??? Anyhoo, as you can imagine, the teens don't know The Cure and The Smiths, so I put the music up there for them to listen to. I'm doing my duty introducing them to our music, wouldn't you say?

In January, we will have a special Twilight discussion, and the kids will make Twilight buttons and t-shirts. I'll need you guys to comment especially on the blog then!
