PLEASE make this happen - I miss Jack Bauer desperately and please make sure Chloe has a great role too! Check out the info from EW

Meg Cabot's response to EW's article

Meg Cabot writes about her reaction to the "dark side" of teen lit. And apparently the EW people stole the article idea from this article
It's brutally honest and heart-wrenching at the same time - which makes me love her just a little bit more!

EW's take on YA Books:Girls Gone Dark

In reading an article here, I've become depressed and I've only been at work for 42 minutes.

Why does the world try to generalize about YA lit? Seriously. Teen books contain light, dark, happy sad, realistic, and fantastical themes. Sure, there's plenty of realistic books that deal with teen issues just as there's plenty of light teen books with happy endings. No one ever complains that adult fiction is all dark. Why then do people generalize so heavily about teen fiction? And then is asks this question: PopWatchers, do you think the genre is dangerous or beneficial for teens?
Seriously?
Does this question even need to be asked. I have a million answers but I don't want to even validate this question by giving even just one. I'm so tired of teen literature being degraded - when really some of the best literature written today is for teens. Next time someone writes one of these articles, I really hope they read more than just a handful of teen books before they start spouting off about teen literature thinking they know something about it - because clearly they don't. Or they could ask an expert in the teen literature field their opinion. I haven't seen anyone do that. Teen Books ROCK, it's time everyone understand that fact.

Shrieking Violets: 25 Butt-kicking Babes

Here's a listing of women EW claims as Women who Rock and kick butt. There are women I'm not familiar with on the list. And there are places I disagree. I love that Buffy ranks as the top choice, but I think that Jennifer Garner's Sydney Bristow ranks way higher than 11.

Take a look at the list and see what you think

Stephenie Meyer Chats

I know I've been a little Twilight crazy, but I promise that this is the last post until the movie comes out (which I fully intend to see on Thursday @ midnight). But Stephenie Meyer chats with EW about Twilight the movie, the fan reaction to Breaking Dawn, and Midnight Sun
and it's worth taking a look at.

Can't Get Enough Twilight?

Kristen Stewart talks 'Twilight'

If the Stephenie Meyer vampire movie explodes, so will the young actress's career; is she ready for fame? A candid chat with the girl who will be Bella, Edward's mortal beloved

My question from this article is that she says that she's done (for now) with big movies, but what does that mean for the rest of the Twilight series. I mean, they are making movies out of all 4 books...RIGHT?
