Night With Bite Indeed

Anyone who thinks reading is dead wasn't at a bookstore this morning for the midnight release of Stephenie Meyer's newest, Breaking Dawn. Kids aren't into books anymore? Yeah, tell that to the 200+ tween girls (and some older folks too) who stampeded around all evening getting painted, answering trivia and just generally geeking over the whole, swoony fun of it. It was GIRL to the max. And yeah, tween girls can be so, well, tweeny with that one vocal register only they seem to possess (you know, the wince inducing one) but they were SO excited and it wasn't just the Red Bull talking. It warmed my old bookselling heart.

Now, on to the reading!

(Note: this is not a spoiler since I haven't even opened the book but if Meyer wants to try and please everyone on both sides of the Jacob vs. Edward debate she could have Jacob sacrifice himself in some noble but fatal way and leaving Bella with no hard choice to make.

I'm just sayin.)
