tototo19 I'm seriously getting out of that spot. I thought it was for analyzing what's good and what's bad about Twilight, but obviously there are only haters, so what's the point?

I_luv_STARK i agree i mean sure the sparkleing in the sun thing is gay but still i still like it but im not "IN LOVE" wit one of the stupid sparkleing gayass vampyres god!

kayleebabee well i think twilight is a pile of dog vomit if you put enough monkeys in a room they could write twilight even better than SM.

emilyroxx Well I think we know who wins THAT argument.

JETT
BY KRISTEN BIERS

My name's Lisa.I'm 17.My mom died two years ago from cancer and my dad's somewhere in the world of wonders.
I ran away from home three months after my mom pasted.My dad changed after his wife died.He got more violent and wasn't as friendly.I grew tired of his crap.So my simple solution was to run away.Be free.
I found a house in the woods of Colorado and decided to call it mine.It was all boarded up.But i fixed it up with the money I took before I left.
Of course the money wouldn't last forever so i got a job at the closest SPCA.A job that i wouldn't have to go to college to have.Walking the dogs.I figured that would pay enough,at least for now.
Then my adventure started.An adventure so big to last ones life.The one who changed my view of life.
Jett.

The 100 Most Influential Books Ever Written: The History of Thought from Ancient Times to Today

I am by no means a great votary of any kind of "Best" lists and find them too subjective and at times highfalutin. But this list of the 100 most influential & mind-expanding books ever written seemed quite apposite and all-encompassing. British literary critic & historian Seymour-Smith's survey of what he considers the 100 most influential books is a searching inquiry into major thinkers, writers and philosophers. Seymour-Smith finds most modernist techniques already...

Les Bailey's Vampire Game Trilogy Causing Quite the Stir!

posted by Fanmaven2015

The Vampire Game trilogy

I was recently asked by a collegue what my favorite read of the year was--I review a hell of a lot of new material every year. Matter-of-factly, I blurted out my answer without a second thought, "The Vampire Game by Les Bailey," I told him. "In fact, I loved the entire trilogy, It was extremely well written and the writing pulled me into another world away from my own. And the way I see it, that's exactly what a good novel is supposed to do!" I told him.

When I first came across Bailey's novel, he was a first-time published author. New to the world of publishing, or so I was told by his agent,...

Les Bailey's Vampire Game Is Released In Paperback!

The Vampire Game; Discovery

As promised last year, author Les Bailey has released his initial literary offing, The Vampire Game: Discovery, in paperback.

First published solely through Kindle Books, the story hit the ground running, causing quite the stir in literary and social media circles. Fanpop.com contributor, known only as Fanmaven2015, (our boss!) had this to say about Bailey's story:

“This debut novel is not only one of the finest tales of the undead in my recent memory, it has brought me back to the vampire genre which was growing stale for me, sadly. Thank you, Mr. Bailey.”

Fanmaven goes on the say, “Passionate...

Fragile Eternity – Melissa Marr

posted by pure-angel

Seth wasn’t trying to pretend things were all right.
“I don’t know what happened between you two before tonight but I can probably guess…”
The look Keenan gave him confirmed Seth’s fears.
“Right. Here’s the thing. If she chooses to give you more than her friendship, it’ll suck for me. Probably how you feel now.”
Keenan was motionless, but it was much the same way that caged lions became motionless – sizing you up for weakness. For all their feigning humanity, faeries were something Other. Aislinn was Other, and the longer she was with them, the further away from mortal normalcy...

The Iron Knight (Iron Fey, Book 4) — Julie Kagawa

My name—my True Name—is Ashallayn’darkmyr Tallyn.
I am the last remaining son of Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court. And I am dead to her.
My fall began, as many stories do, with a girl…
The fourth book in the Iron Fey series is easily my favorite and I’m sure I won’t be alone in thinking that. At the end of the third book, Meghan banished Ash from the Iron Realm, knowing he would stay by her side despite how harmful living in the Iron Realm would be to his health. But before he left, Ash made an oath that he would find a way to be with her. The Iron Knight tells the story of Ash’s...

My thoughts on Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

posted by mitchie19

I never really planned reading Hush Hush. In bookstores, I just passed by the books, seeing Hush Hush in a display. I know its about Fallen Angels but the cover didn't buy me. I didn't study it too well...until I read it.

I borrowed the book from my classmate who's an ultimate bookworm. I started reading it since she handed it to me. I finished it just today. =)

For me, Patch was bad-ass, sense of humor, sweet and caring. I liked the way he did to Nora when they were making tacos in the kitchen then she was sat up on the counter and Patch started kissing her jaw. Also another one especially the...

Daniel Goleman, 2006, 334 pages

Goleman in his groundbreaking book reveals that neural linkages between humans influence the brain and the body. These invisible bridges give us the ability to change people's moods, emotions, and health - as these people can do to us. Relationships not only shape emotional states and general psychological experience, but also the very physiological matter that makes our body. Our interactions with people influences our immune system, circulation, hormones, and breathing for example.

Writer Randy Jernigan Talks New Book, His Health Scare, and Finding Joy In the Journey!

Author Randy Jernigan and Jackson

When I sat down to dinner at a small Asian Bistro with my old friend and writer Randy Jernigan, he quickly scanned the menu, searching for the healthiest foods. Today would not be one of his famous “cheat days” he shares on his social media pages–usually Mondays when he and best friend, Jackson Fackrell, indulge in what he terms a “free meal.” Today he opts for several veggie heavy dishes with less calories, and of course, minus the fried rice and noodles. Later, as the waitress cleared the table, I notice that she cleared away his half eaten meal.
