As I was doing an inventory the other day, I couldn't help but think about certain students when coming across books that I forgot we had. "Oh yeah, that one would have great for (fill in the blank)." You know, that kind of thing. The one series that has really got me baffled is Twilight. I have the hardest time suggesting books to people that love Twilight. Maybe it's because it's one of those books that has a lot of elements going on so it's hard to tell what it is that people love about it. Is it the love story? Or is it the action? The vampires? It's hard to tell. I'm not really big on love stories so that makes it hard.

So I started doing a little research. Here are some of the discussions online that I found. It's encouraging...I was on the right track with the Uglies series. However, I haven't tried all of the new vampire series. Are they good for middle school or more high school? It's always hard to tell.

Another place I looked was Stephenie Meyer's site. That where I first heard about The Hunger Games which I absolutely love! It definitely has the action and romance of Twilight. She uses her website much like a blog and discusses books that she enjoys sometimes like The Percy Jackson series and the Mortal Instruments series.
