I've been to Utah and back with much to share. But in the meantime, while I was visiting I picked up a book that I actually had bought for my niece for Christmas this year.
I read a great interview with the author, Stephanie Meyer on the plane that made me curious about her books. She writes mainly for a teenage audience but her subject is vampires, specifically a human girl devoted to a vampire boy. I'm admittedly a huge fan of Anne Rice, so the vampire genre is one I'm passionate about in the first place. But the skeptic in me usually triggers when I hear "love story" and "teenagers."
I should also admit, I don't really like teenagers. I think they are ridiculous. I swear I never acted like that when I was a teenager, although I bet my mom would disagree. Still, if you can't speak one sentence without the word "like" then I can't stand near you for very long. Nails on a chalkboard, people.
However, this book was pretty good. I read it in one fell swoop between horrible flights on the way home. Thankfully the ball of fire was so exhausted he just laid in a puddle in the seat next to me.
And, to top it off, there's a movie in the making. Although in my mind, Edward was much hotter!
More on the trip to Utah, including the BOF peeing in the desert in the days to come.

It's good that you got to go away. I didn't say anything, but you were starting to be less of a snob. It was awkward.
I expect you to take that back this instant!
Just wanted to let you know all the snots in high school are reading Stephanie Meyers right now. This coming from a high school teacher. I just had a conversation about the author with three different students this past week. Her new book, The Host, is supposed to be similar to invasion of the body snatchers and for the adult audience. Just an FYI.
