Illuminating Twilight covers all four books in Stephenie Meyer's popular vampire series.The kids have the best time with this. They simply love talking about the books and I love seeing them get pumped up about reading. Plenty of adults attend as well. Sometimes I even get mom/daughter teams, which is wonderful.
Here's the schedule:
Parma Hts. Branch, Oct. 22, 7 - 8:30 p.m.
Strongsville Branch, Oct. 26, 7 - 8:30 p.m.
Middleburgh Hts. Branch, Oct. 28, 7 - 8:30 p.m.
Bay Village Branch, Oct. 29, 7 - 8:30 p.m.
Fairview Park Branch, Oct. 31, 2 - 3:30 p.m. (boo!)
Brecksville Branch, Nov. 4, 7 - 8:30 p.m.

yea ok, cool. i hope you blast the shit out of SM's Church of the Latter Day Saints bullshit she not so covertly sneaks into her series.
by the way, saw the 1st movie. total waste of my time. but definitely slick, and high-tech; lots of $ went into production.
I read all four books, the first being my favorite. I absolutely disliked the movie, it didn't do the book any justice. It is amazing how the whole thing took off to be somewhat of a cult following.
Funny you should mention that ....
I always point to the fact that any boyfriend who follows you around and never lets you out of his site is dangerous (at least outside the pages of "Twilight"). I also note that physical contact shouldn't leave a person covered in bruises, ever.
The "damsel in distress" and "happily ever after" themes are big points in my discussion as well.
A Morman book about vampires?
Are you sure it wasn't written by Brigham Stoker?
Erin you bring up a good point - in addition to the blood sucking that goes on, the relationships on Twilight really aren't good examples of functionality. Though whose relationship really is?
Those Twilight books are very good for adolescents. It teaches them not to drink...wine.
Even though I'm not a huge fan of the books (I'm not exactly the target audience, being a 42-year old male) I must give Ms Meyers huge credit for making kids read. At least here in Sweden, reading seems to be a dying pass-time for everybody under the age of 25 or so. Thanks to the Twilight series and Harry Potter, the trend seems to be turning. And to even get the kids to discuss it is just fantastic. Well done!
omg I wish I was in your area so I could attend! :)
Wish we were closer! I'd love to come to this....for some reason, they don't have anything like this around where I live!
or maybe it's just a very well kept secret!
