So Robyn from Fairytales and Folklore and I are doing a read-along in Goodreads, we are trying to
get people motivated into reading the book, it doesn’t matter if it is before
or after you get to see the movie or if you just want to read the book.
For me
reading this book is important, it is the way I will take away the power of the
prejudice that has been inserted to me by the misbehaving Twilight fans that
have acted as if Stephanie Meyer is the author equivalent of king Midas, and
that her powers where transmitted all the way into the movies.
Specially
the wave of hard core Twilight fans, I want to take the power out of them throw
that prejudice out the window and give a book a chance because I am curious and
not to those it aside because the author’s fans (movie fans, at this point for
me it doesn’t matter it’s the whole concept that is tainted) refuse to
acknowledge anyone’s opinion because it goes against their own.
Now this isn't an attack or anything, I understand that there are people that love/loved Twilight and aren't part of the group I just described. I also want to thank those fans that read my "If you didn't like Twilight" book recommendations and didn't jump at it as if it was some sort of attack.
I want
to read this book but I don’t think it’s something that I can accomplish on my
own and it might actually take me two weeks to read this book.
So, if
its just because you are curious about the book, because the movie got you
interested, or perhaps you want to read the book before going to the movie theater or maybe your reason is like mine and you want to make an opinion of your
own about this book even with all the bad rep the other series by Stephanie
Meyer has, then come join us at this read along, Robyn and I will be waiting for
you at Addicted to YA.
