just when you thought it was safe to read my LJ... it's another Twilight post

Instead of the writing binge I'd hoped to start, apparently I'm on an organizing binge, though now I'm working on the computer rather than the CD pile. This has been on my hard drive for a while. At one point I said I'd make another post about Twilight and my religion before the next movie came out. Uh... does posting this before the third movie count? And this isn't really about religion, it's about how romance novels in general.

I've seen many rants about the whole Twilight phenomenon, ranging from the inappropriateness of the books being marketed for teens to tying any and every plot point, especially the ones they dislike, to Meyer's (and my) religion. My own reaction was that I was reading a very typical/stereotypical romance novel.

Disclaimer: I'm a bit concerned about coming across as bashing romance novels. It's okay to like them, really!
