In my hot little hands I have the book I've been most excited about this summer ... well, after 'Harry Potter.' 'Eclipse' is the third installment in Stephenie Meyer's vampire love saga, and her books are, hands down, the #1 most-recommended books by readers of this blog. I was instantly sucked into the world of 'Twilight' when it was published in 2005 and spent a solid day of a vacation last year devouring 'New Moon.'
Meyer's world is believable but fantastic, innocent yet sexy. She was bold enough to take the series in a way I never would have expected, in only the second book. I'm trying to savor 'Eclipse' by reading it slowly, hoping that no one would try to spoil this the way that YouTube fiends love to spoil the 'Potter' books an instant after they go on sale. For some reason Meyer's books don't get an ounce of the press that J.K. Rowling gets, and it seems like Meyer's fans are at least as devoted as Rowling's. I'm going to blame the fact that there's no real title for the series. Yeah, that's it.
So I know you guys love these books. Are you reading the new one? Are you already finished and rereading it for the 7th time already? I know how it goes with these, 'cause I'm pretty much the same way. There would never have been enough Harry, Ron and Hermione, and there will probably never be enough Bella and Edward, either. Just promise they're going to make out some more.
