The Barnes and Noble near me is closing... now I have to drive about an hour or so to get books =/ Awful as this sounds, I'm going to really miss the awful YA books that plagued the store.
"if you like the twilight series" [silence] "well that's not us. let's go." lawls.
you sound like me and my friend when we go into bookstores. pick up random books and read them off like they are over dramatic movie trailers. we get a lot of odd looks.
I've watched this video over and over and I just now noticed the giant Catch-22 poster next to the Twilight section. Isn't that sad; classic, amazing literature next to Twishite.
The book store I go to has so many twilight books it looks like someone went through the whole forest and butchered every tree in sight. I hate that series with a passion. -_-'
-.- I know I said below that Borders was better, but now I'm having my doubts.
I went back there for the first time in a long time, so I decided to go upstairs to the young adult section and see what's what ... As soon as I get up the fucking stairs there's Jacob literally leaning down because the poster was sagging. Around the corner from that, Twilight action-figures ... More Twilight books ... Posters.
Fuck! I thought this was a BOOK STORE! Not a fucking Twilight shop.
Actually I found the House of Night series to be quite good. Does have annoying parts to it and still pretty generic to most YA around, but I've been enjoying it ^_^
i have read Need though and didnt find it too bad, and it did have some stuff copyed from twilight but the next book Captive was much more orignal and better but still not that good.
The hell? Stargazer would've copied the plot for Vampire Knight almost exactly if the main character had another love interest who was a pureblood. Is nobody original anymore?! D:
If you're going to spend all the time and effort thinking up (shallow) characters and (bad) plots, then writing for several months, then trying to find a publisher, then you might as well have an original idea.
raven even had names similar to those in twilight & a depressed girl & a very short, singular action scene. i read it on a car trip...obviously i had nothing better to do. sad
This is why I stay in the adult section. I absolutely despise many young adult books now because they're all the fuckin' same. Also, I just despise Vampire novels, especially after Twilight *shudder*
Anyway, you guys are hilarious. I really did enjoy watching this.
That book waaaaaaaaay in the bottom right corner is called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I HIGHLY recommend you read that book. No vampires. No sappy romance. Action, adventure, and drama DONE RIGHT. Quite a page turner. (Book #2: called Catching Fire)
Btw, thank you for reminding me about how much literature has really gone to pot these days. I honestly fear how my generation of teens are going to grow up...that's such a scary thought. I'm dead serious.
I've read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". It's great.
There are some good YA books out there. I liked "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, for instance. Everyone's just trying to copy Twilight now. It's rather disappointing.
What happened to the good old days, when books taught our teens morals and how to be good people. Not how to fall in love in two days and fuck a demon.
I read some of Evermore and almost stopped spotting all of the adjectives and description in the first sentence. God, that book was atrocious. And the name-dropping. I have to bleach my brain now. -Remembers how much telling there is-. NOO!
I have to read the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies book (I love zombies). Your reaction when reading The Twilight Companion was hilarious. And for the 'Salem's Lot question, I'll go with yo momma (XD).
I condemn that "companion book" to hell for the mentioning of true vampire literature in a book based on... sparklies.
This is why my young adult book collection is either a) based in reality or b) revolve around witches/witchcraft. I save the vampire and werewolf books to the Sci-fi/Fantasy section (but their witch books are good also).
I lol'd a giant lol. But now I'm sad, because I realize how so many writers are encouraged to write the same kind of stories with STALKINGSPARKLESFORBIDDENLOVE.
wow, i can't believe there's all of those "extra" books about Twilight, as if it is some complex well-developed universe like Star Wars that deserves to be expanded and explored more...not.
i wish there were more people in the background, just to see their reactions. but i guess all the vids about the WWE Melina in the Related Videos window makes up for it.
XD!!! OMG!! Wow. I've been having thoughts about the Twilight invasion of bookstores similar to that for awhile now and you just voiced them all. Kick ass!
u gatta understand that no book is original. every book no matter which is taken from somewhere else but these are beyond unoriginal. thats why i dont read teen vampire books .......
ps do u have some recomendations for good books i could read??
Oh dear god, those book summaries are too hilarious. I miss originality. Kudo's for being brave enough to go into the YA section of B and N and make fun of these. You and your friend each get a freshly made e-cookie for your sheer awesomeness!
I love Vampires....I'm just so disappointed to how many books sound so much alike with the whole "Teen Romance" I picked up Vampire Academy today and I'm a bit wishy washy about it now.
other then that...
Your little trip was funny! You remind me of my friends, we do stuff like that together.
actually House of Night is ok though it can get a little annoying when they repeat stuff and the fact the main character Zoey falls in love with 4 guys and 3 of them love her back....
The one thing you personally might like is the fact that the greatest evil is beautiful not ugly :D now thats new isn't it

Till I read Lyndsay Sands - Vampire, Interrupted (From the Argeneau Series - number 9 I believe)
I recomend it to you, I think you´d appriciate it, yes it´s a little clichée, but honestly, it surprised the hell out of me.
