-Stephenie Meyer-
Although this is currently one of my all-time favorite books, I promise not to let that taint my otherwise professional opinion.
*cough cough*
In the first installment of this gravity-defying romance, Meyer completely crushes nearly every myth surrounding the mysterious world of vampires. The "plain-Jane" character of Bella is so easy to relate to it almost hurts, while most readers find themselves pining for their own Edward. Of course, "romance" means "mushy", but Meyer throws in just enough action to reel in anyone who makes it past the introductory chapters.
The perfect read for anyone who can guiltlessly throw away three to four hours. So go ahead, turn off your cell phone and snuggle into your favorite chair. I know a few "bloodsuckers" just dying to meet you.
