First, Edward was a vampire. Well, to be nitpicky, he IS a vampire. But let us continue. He sparkles. Fine, no problem. Some vampires are butterflies and some have heads that fly around. So I can deal. He can read minds. OK, he is supernatural. He likes to play baseball. Fine, a tad weird, but fine.
He wants BLOOD. Well, duh, he is a VAMPIRE. Runs around during daylight. OK, so? The whole sunlight burns vampires thing is pretty new. So the vampire part of the book is, to me, not an issue.
Oh, yes, the werewolves. Well, at least they don’t seem to be having a war going on. World of Darkness, Underworld, every role playing game on the net has THAT! Kind of refreshing to have a werewolf and a vampire in the same space and not have a gunfight/cat fight/sword fight. Male hormones are so overrated.
Romance. Oh yes. Romance – the feeling that you are all alone and nobody understands you. But wait – that guy/girl/monster/computer understands you! Oh joy! Oh no, he/she/it may hate you. Oh, happiness, now he/she/it loves you again! All is well in the world. Oh my, a plain girl who is special because she is thoughtless. Oh, wait, I mean the vampires can’t read her thoughts. And he feels the need to protect her. Carry her. Hand feed her. Well, maybe not that last. Yet.
Still, the book is a good first try. Smashing really, when you remember she is a bestseller right now. But still, it seems too easy to figure out where the story is going to go. The girl is sometimes so stupid and seems to lack a independent thought in her thoughtless head. How fast do they fall in love – a month?
But wait, I forgot. It is a TEEN ROMANCE NOVEL. So maybe I should just give it some slack? Also, as I was given it as a gift, I can’t really complain.

The Dole Nutrition Handbook

I reviewed all upright style vacuums on Consumer Reports, and this one rated near the top but was HUNDREDS of dollars less than the models that scored only a few points more. I was looking for a great functioning vacuum that was light enough for my kids to (hopefully) use, and this one is great. Is actually self propelled forward, bag is easily accessed, and is a GREAT BUY at $80. Love it.
