I didn't see this coming!

I'm a Esme! I found out through TwilightersAnonymous.com. Which Twilight Female Are You? Take the quiz and find out!

Jonny and I have been enjoying the Twilight series. John's thinking about reading the books. He feels left out of our conversations and he wants to know why Jonny (who is NOT a reader) has read almost 2000 pages in 2 months.

Jonny will probably finish Breaking Dawn this weekend. He's more excited to see the Twilight movie than I am. I'd like to keep him reading. What should I recommend to him that will keep his attention, but be much more appropriate?
