Okay, since I spend FAR too much of my scant free time reading, I figured I'd start a thread here. I've been reading the TWILIGHT series. Yes, it's meant for Young Adults, but I'm certainly not the first "grown up" to pick them up.
I'm on the third book now, and I have admit I don't like it, nor did I like the second, nearly as much as I enjoyed the first, but they're fast reads and very entertaining.
Vampires, werewolves, magical abilities....let me know what you think if you've read them.

I saw these at the bookstore and was thinking about giving them a shot, but after such a ringing endorsement... hehe... I don't know it seems like all the classic vampire/werewolf books that get published are either overly romantic or pulp or both. I always read the back and wait to hear about the fedora wearing P.I. sitting in his dimly lit office waxing poetic about the "dame" who just walked into his life.

Lesh, can you give me some more info on this series? Author? I may try to pick up that first book from the library and give it a try.

Stephanie Meyer is the author. But there will probably be a crazy-long wait for it at the library right now, with the movie coming out next month. I'll bring mine next time I come to Indy. :-)
The first one's definitely worth the read...not so sure yet about the others...

Leshia, I've read the whole series, and recently viewed the feature film Twilight. I enjoyed the first book, and read the rest out of a sense of obligation because my daughter, and several of my students are/were reading them. The film version is okay but badly directed, in my humble opinion. I, like you, am not a young adult by any stretch of the imagination, but I found Twilight to be a real 'page turner'. The sexual tension Meyer creates between Bella and Edward (and involving other characters later in the series) is beyond compare in my readings; reminiscent of my youth and poignantly expressed.

Hi, Lucinda! Thanks for responding!
I should say, as I'm sure you've deduced, a friend of mine started this forum, and it never quite took off as he had hoped. I think our numbers are small, but feel free to post. Perhaps you'll be the spark we need! :-)
Very Best,
Leshia
