They were so bad ass, and the sex was hot too. Now that series teaches girls good things.<br />I've read some of the author Tamora Pierce's newer stuff too, and it holds up pretty darn well as a adult. She now does BIG novels, thanks to the Harry Potter series... just two big books per series instead of four small books. Anyway, far better reads. I suggest you pick those up instead.Megnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-8263155231027212162008-08-08T08:42:54.000-07:002008-08-08T08:42:54.000-07:00i shouldn't read this post as i'm only a t...i shouldn't read this post as i'm only a third of the way through the first book (though 'twilight' has been on my shelf for years).<br /><br />but i read your first paragraph. and yeah, i got through that third of the book last night by staying up way past my bedtime. against my will, indeed.valyanoreply@blogger.com
