Saturday Recs (4)

Since I did vampires last week, it seems only fitting that I do a rec list for Twihards. Now I'll be honest, I personally hate Twilight with a power of a thousand burning suns and that hatred will likely never fade. However, even I cannot deny Twilight has brought new readers to YA and I can't really bitch about that too much. In my experience in bookstores I've encountered two types of Twilight readers: There's the reader who just wants to read more books like Twilight and then there's the reader who kind of feels there's more out there and is looking to branch out to other stuff. So that's how I'm dividing this list up. Once again, should mention my feelings on books are being left out of the equation therefore you may see books I gave one stars too because even though I didn't like said book, there's a good chance a Twilight lover would. Also note, I rec all books for all ages so these lists always include a mixture of YA, Adult, and Middle-Grade.
