![]() ![]() In fact, being an eclectic bibliophile myself, I have also in my collection books in the vampire-themed genre-like Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series (Twilight, 2005 New Moon, 2006 Eclipse, 2007 and Breaking Dawn, 2008) and Anne Rice’s latest Vampire Chronicles (Merrick, 2000 Blood and Gold, 2001 Blackwood Farm, 2002 and Blood Canticle, 2003). ![]() Whatever detractors might have to say, they remain a part of literature. After all, books regardless of genre are all food for the brain. Instead, they are more interested in the so-called vampire-themed fantasy romance novels-those which have sexy and beautiful and handsome vampires (or other horror characters, for that matter) falling in love with equally alluring humans or vice versa. However, the type of romance books many current young adults are into is not those which involve puppy love, handsome boys next door, and cute girls in school and the neighborhood. However, based on what I’m learning from commercial media and from some teenagers I know, many if not most of them are as romantic as many people my age were 25 years ago meaning, they still read romance novels. I may be really getting old, the reason I feel like I’m not that in touch anymore with what kind of romance novels teenagers in this generation are reading in the comforts of their bedrooms. ![]()
