The writing isn't that great, again the draw for me was the characters and their stories. @Jac Star if you could really get that pic that would be AMAZING. There's just something amusing about the idea of a Twilight bookmark tucked between the pages of a business or marketing book. @Tanya the key to reading Twilight is to go in open minded and not expecting some literary masterpiece.

@Jac Star if you could really get that pic that would be AMAZING. There’s just something amusing about the idea of a Twilight bookmark tucked between the pages of a business or marketing book.

That's why I use the standard Chapters Indigo bookmarks... ;-) @Mike: Definitely fella – in fact, maybe you should start a petition here, and we could rope in our Twitter friends – ask Chris Brogan to offer some Trust Agents books for when you reach 1,000 sigs., hehe… ;-)

You hooked another one. I love, love, love how this book spreads. And that's always the story "Hmmm...vampire love story, whatever" and the next minute "OMG I NEED TO READ ALL THE BOOKS IN ONE SITTING AAAAGGHH" Welcome to the fandom Tanya. It's almost inevitable.

I've been threatening to since my niece and younger sister got hooked on the series, and your story reminds me a little of myself (I'm not seriously going to read a novel about vampires, am I?). :D I'm an avid reader, though I'm also stubborn...but you've inspired me. Twilight, here I come. Oh, and the shirt? Awesome. :) Heh-heh-heh…Mike, you make me want to finally pick up Twilight.

LOL I think you might be right though about being a closet Twi-guy. He has a Twilight bookmark. I don't even have one of those! ;) Though I have to ask, does he use the bookmark in books other than Twilight? Is there a PR or Social Media book somewhere with James poking out of the top? If so, I totally want a picture of it. LOL Jac Star, poor Danny…He’s pulling for a team that dies in the first book! LOL

I constantly get crap from the girls because I'm not harnessing the male perspective that is significantly lacking in this fanbase. So when I wrote this post I tried to harness why I, as a guy, like Twilight. I'm happy to hear the honesty came through on this post. I wanted readers to truly understand where I was coming and from and why this series has become such a huge part of my life. And I agree, even though there wasn't much Alice in the books I think they need to try and give Ashley Greene some additional screen time in the Twilight movies. hahaha Danny, You’re safe I don’t take all of Jac Star’s comments as gospel. ;)

I love the honesty and the way you share the story (and isn't that what great blogging is all about, fella?). I'm not a closet fan, regardless of some corners, but I can appreciate the books and the audience and the storytelling behind them. Now, if there was more of Alice in the books, we may be having a different conversation... ;-) Nice one, fella. Mike,
