This one sounds interesting with possibly Scottish lore thrown in? Anyhoo, I definitely am adding it to my Everything Austen challenge. Look forward to the interview.

There was a short-story here or there where P&P was reimagined as Frankenstein — something of the sort, I probably just butched and did great shame to that writer (I read it some while back for one of the regional Jane get-togethers).

A librarian, I have developed great ire toward Stephanie Meyer. Damn the ocean of adolescent hormones; had to pile-up a breakwater of Harry Potter (poor Harry) to keep away the acne.

Yes, the vampire thing has always been popular! – just recall all those Ann Rice books from forever ago. I remember as a teenager [years ago!] I would go over to my grandmother’s house and watch Dark Shadows [I think that is the title..] with her – I was mesmerized – what is it about the thought of literally being sucked to death! – yikes!

I haven’t read the Twilight series – too many other things to read to be honest – but know they have taken the world by storm [my daughter is an 8th grade teacher and says they are even more popular than the Harry Potter books, at least among girls...]

I do have the P&P and Zombies – you have to after all at least OWN the thing – the first page was quite humorous and as far as I have gotten – but I assume it gets old fast – I know you liked it – so will settle in with that at some point.. but I actually have to say I would far rather deal with vampires than zombies!

One wonders what will be next!

LOL Deb! You haven’t even read one of the blasted things yet. Did you read the Twilight series? Me neither, but I have sold so many copies that I feel I know all of the books just through osmosis. In all my years as a bookseller, I have not seen this many young women so impassioned over a character, so it was inevitable that the two genre’s would collid. The ultimate romantic icon meets the young upstart romantic icon. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the authors will do him proud and that he will not totally suck, literally!

Thanks for stopping by.

I feel totally done with vampires – or am I missing something?!
