Every day I read the Twilight Lexicon Blog, a stan blog that shared daily updates from the Twilight universe, including anecdotes of how much Stephenie Meyer loved to rock out to Muse while writing, or fan fiction inspired by 2-page passages from the book. I spent the next three years of my life reading the steamy but chaste, PG-13 in theory but PG in fact pages of each of those books under my covers with an actual flashlight, Junie B. So when two friends of mine in middle school plunked a copy of “Twilight” onto the picnic table next to my sad, sorry copy of Animal Farm (why are these animals so mean?) during lunch and said they had never read anything so thrilling in their entire lives–their entire lives!–I was ready for a tweenage revolution. My point is: I didn’t have much exposure to young adult fiction. I did the same thing with my beat-up copy of Emma, where I barely could piece together the confusing verbiage but DEF knew I wanted Mr. The only thing I can remember from 100 Years of Solitude is that scene where two characters paint each other’s bodies in jelly and “lick it off like dogs.” Strange. Not a little obsessed, not “kind of into it.” Like full on stanatacism-on-level-12, can’t-think-about-anything-else kind of obsessed.īy the time I turned 13, I had spent all my time reading books that were above my comprehension level, and not in a cute way. It’s taken me years to get to the place where I can talk about it without shame permeating every word-but years, in fact, have passed since this period of my life, so let me be clear: I was obsessed with the Twilight series. Stephenie Meyer–a name I know as well as my own– announced on Monday the impending publication of Midnight Sun on August 4th, a re-telling of the Twilight story from *cough sex symbol cough* Edward Cullen’s perspective.
