Twilight Fans, Are You Thirsty for More?

Did you love Twilight?

Have you taken the Twilight quiz?

Are you planning to see the movie?

Are you thirsty for more (books, not blood)?

If you have already read the Twilight saga and are craving more, don't fret. There are plenty of other great books in this genre and, if you are quick about it, you might be able to grab a copy to sink your teeth into over the weekend. An oldie-but-goodie vampire romance is The Silver Kiss, by Annette Curtis Klause about Zoe, a lonely 16-year-old who finds a friend in Simon, a vampire set on avenging his mother's death. Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber is another girl-meets-vampire series with a gothier (and, I think, gutsier) female heroine named Raven. There is even a graphic novel version.

If you prefer your teen monster romance furry and warm-blooded, try this werewolf novel during the next full moon. Annette Curtis Klause's Blood and Chocolate will have you and your pack howling in no time.

And, for those of you who think glittery vampires are just the tiniest bit silly, check out this T-shirt featured recently on bookshelves of doom (Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak series might be more up your alley).

If you are interested in planning a Twilight fan party at the library, come to our next Teen Activity Group meeting on December 1 at 4 p.m. or call Anna at (540) 439-9728.

We will meet at the Bealeton Library in the quiet study room.

Fauquier County Public Library is looking for interested teens (grade 6 and up) to start a Teen Activity Group (TAG) at the Bealeton and Warrenton branches.

TAG members will meet once a month to plan teen activities, help create book displays, and review new books. If you come to at least 3 meetings and write at least one book review, you will be eligible to bring a friend to an after-hours party at the library in April.
