I've never read the Twilight series, because I heard it's about some kind of vampire thing which doesn't seem like my taste. But you all make it seem really great!

Oh cool, another Vowell! I´m still not sure if I want the Mysterious Benedict Society books both as hardcovers or if I´m patient enough to wait for the paperbacks. . .

I want to start reading the Twilight series because so many of you love it and I think I can give it a try. I just went to my library's website and, because of the interlibrary loaning system we have, there are at least 120 requests before mine in the queue! For Twilight there are at least 200! Hopefully I'll get them someday lol I don't have money to buy them

It almost sucks (hehe sucks... vampires... they suck... and yeh... must lie down) that Twilight as a series and as individual novels are so dam addictive, because really... the writing is not all that crash-hot at all.. and all those dam allusions to other texts and characters... but still we read them eagerly every time!
I have no idea when and if this will be published but Libba Bray, crazy and brilliant author of the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, is working on a new novel entitled GOING BOVINE. If anyone can explain that title to me, i'd be much obliged!

Maybe it's about a girl and her struggle to turn into a cow? Or maybe it's about a vegetarian starting to eat meat? Got me - that's a strange title.

I had to look it up in the dictionary! Apparently, bovine can also mean rather slow and stupid, so the title might have something to do with this...
