Good stuff, Krista! Thank you!

That was interesting. I saw the vampire/emo/fairy thing was mentioned a few times.

The real world situation confused me though.. there are a ton of books like that.

The one person had a good point about the shy girl would stand on the sideline not run up to the hunk of the school.

I think a lot of the hyped books are more "fantasy" maybe for the Spring and Summer....that might be it.

yeah, I totally agreed with the shy girl comment....

Yeah it seems to be hot right now, but I wonder if its on the downslide. I have noticed some ghost books popping up. Maybe the vampire thing is dead and it will be replaced with zombies/ghosts/werewolves?

Krista, That was awesome. It just proves that not everyone wants the same thing (and that teens actually read). Can wait for the next installment!
