ahahaha!! oh my goodness. can we be best friends now?



i love the series and i deal with my shameful obsession everyday.

Ahahaha



Sure :)



(maybe I'll be less embarrassed knowing someone else who's a fan =P)

the only thing that disappoints me is that the movie will probably suck. but i'll be compelled to watch it anyways. *sigh*



its the rabid fangirls that ruin it for everyone.

Oh yeah, I don't even want to go NEAR the rabid fan girl thing :P



and I'm kind of excited about the movie too, but it's never as good if you read thee book first. All the same, I can't wait :)



I'm just really dreading finishing Eclipse and then having to wait for Breaking Dawn, and then not having any more to come :(

what's that? and why do they all look dead?

Staffell: I think you mistake looking dead for being groomed to death

Is this really any lamer than grown-ups reading Harry Potter?

there is nothing wrong with grown ups reading harry potter!

heh, vampire highschool. i'm sending you the Hannibal Lecter series ASAP.

oh, don't feel bad about reading YA fiction. that would be like feeling bad about going to a PG-13 movie. sometimes YA means it's aimed at people in their late teens, but it can also mean that it's unsuitable for younger readers.



besides. potboilers are fun.

I'm almost 30 and I will still go to the YA section of the library and checkout Nancy Drew books or other childhood staples.



There's nothing wrong with a book you can read in 1-2 hours :) Literary Junkfood has its place. And its a place of honor at my house.



I'll have to checkout your new obsession, it sounds good.

The HP books are fantastic!

Staffel: They look dead because all but the girl at the front are vampires. As for what it is, that's a poster for the upcoming movie version.



Leon: it's not a romance set in a vampire highschool, it's a highschool romance where some of the main characters happen to be vampires =P

(and there is plenty of action and suspense as well, but at its core it's a love story).



And thanks everyone else for trying to make me feel a bit better about it :)

I know there's nothing wrong with reading YA fiction, and I don't feel bad about that. The thing I'm mildly embarrassed about is just how much I love these books. I haven't been so engrossed and caught up in a fictional world since I *was* a teenager with a huge and vivid imagination, spending all of my time reading and having adventures in my head.



...and yes, the Harry Potter books are pretty damn engrossing too =)

a synopsis and review if you are curious

My user name is from the Narnia series. Enough said.



And I've read all the Harry Potter books. Some of them twice.

=)



Yeah but the Narnia books are classics .



You should read the Twilight series ;P

How did I know you were talking about the Twilight series before I even opened this thread? That's wierd. I havent read them yet, I almost bought them from the bookstore out of curiosity though. I know what you mean about YA books though. You kinda feel just a little geeky cause you enjoy it so much, when it's written for a younger audience.



I'd like to point out the fact that the authors, who are generally much older than you or I, are coming up with stuff for the YA age group. Do you feel any better?
