A conversation between two YA librarians (also GIP)

[cedarlibrarian]

cedarlibrarian: Oooh, the Twilight essay collection came in today's mail.
dettiot: [snort] Why are you oooing over that?
cedarlibrarian: Because I'm hoping the essays will be witty and fun* and take the book to task for being crappy.
dettiot: Ummm . . . and what color is the sky in your world?
cedarlibrarian: SPARKLY

So the Twilight books? Disastrous. This essay collection? Unlikely to be so.

Ironic, no? FWIW, most of the people I know who are reading Twilight books these days are doing it purely for the sporking value; it seems to have become the published equivalent of those really bad fics that get posted on the Babb Chronicles.

And yet, it's still selling thousands of copies.

(USE YOUR LIBRARIES, PEOPLE!)

Can't wait to get your take on the essays. :D

[penmage]

Oh, now you're making me want to read it.

[cedarlibrarian]

The essay book, or Twilight?

[penmage]

Oh, I have already (much to my chagrin) read Twilight and its sequels. No, I’m talking about the essay book.

My friend actually got me the Twilight books as a gift so I can read the whole series. Who can't get drunk enough? Me.

Thank you, o high priestess of YA wisdom, for validating my decision to skip the whole Twilight kerfuffle. ;)
