Popular vampire series may be worth a read
Call me a nerd, but I’m pretty excited for Barnes & Noble Booksellers, 333 E. Grand River Ave., to have another party.
On Aug. 1, the bookstore is celebrating the midnight release of “Breaking Dawn,” the last book in Stephanie Meyer’s “Twilight” series.
I haven’t actually read the books — a vampire series just didn’t sound very appealing to me. But then again, a wizarding series didn’t sound very good either and I ended up one of the world’s biggest Harry Potter fans.
But, walking through the store the other day, I saw the flier advertising the party, featuring snacks, crafts and encouraging people to dress up.
There’s just something I love about being around people all together with the same interest, excitedly waiting to find out what happens next in their favorite saga. For a little while, everyone’s completely connected.
It’s just really cool to see that a book can be that powerful.
Maybe I’ll pick up the first book in the series today on my way back from work — I’m kind of curious to see what all the fuss is about.

Trust me, you’ll love Twilight. I absolutely did not want to read Twilight. I though it sounded so stupid and although my friends kept telling me to read it I refused. Then one day someone gave me the book after they finished reading and said that I wanted to read it. I never wanted to read it but I thought “What the hell, I might as well. I’ve got the book. This way No one will bother me to read it.”
I read it and I became obsessed. After I read the first, I went out and bought the 2nd and 3rd immediately.
Now I’m planning on buying the book at midnight.
