Went to Border’s last night and came across the Twilight Saga section. Of course they have their own section. And while restraining myself from purchasing a pair of New Moon jammies, I came across this:


Stuck in between the book series on one shelf was: Pride & Prejudice, Romeo & Juliet, and Wuthering Heights, 3 epic novels that were referenced in the Twilight series. On the cover of Wuthering Heights it says, “Bella and Edward’s favorite book!” LMAO. So now I’m sure teens from all across the world will be scrambling to read this book when teens that were required to read it in their high school English Lit. class most likely wanted to burn it.
I, myself am more of a Great Gastby/Catcher in the Rye fan. But I just found it amusing that these practically legendary books were placed on a shelf next to Twilight as what I personally think is a marketing ploy. I mean dude. Check out the covers. If I wasn’t careful or not so Twi-hard and in a rush I may accidentally grab one thinking it was New Moon or something! Don’t get mad, I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate over here but I wonder if somewhere down the line schools will be required to read TWILIGHT lmao.

I think I just heard Shakespeare roll in his grave just now

If you like the books from A Southern Vampire Mystery -- which HBO turned into the fang-banging show True Blood -- then make sure you enjoy the next four, because they may be the last ones Charlaine Harris writes. Harris was out and about promoting her short-story compilation A Touch of Dead, featuring stories about Southern Vampire Mystery heroine Sookie Stackhouse, when she revealed that the end is sorta kinda nearish.

"I've signed a contract to write three more after the one that's coming out in May, and they may be the last three," Harris told CNN. "Probably by then I will have lived with Sookie long enough."

Harris said she doesn't want to keep the books going if Sookie's stories start feeling played out. "I hope I have enough sense to walk away before that happens."

The series stands at eight novels now and will finish with 12 if Harris really does give Sookie a rest when she finishes out her contract. That's a pretty good run for any series, although there will probably never be enough for Sookie fans.
