From Support Services Library Assistant, Joan Medina

I recently finished Eclipse, the third book in Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. After I devoured Twilight (the first book in the series) last year, I found myself eagerly anticipating my turn to check out the next installments. The popularity of this series seems to have snuck up on book providers who originally under-anticipated demand. And I suspect that numbers for the request queue will only continue to swell as the author is currently listed number one for NY Times bestseller fiction and the movie-version of Twilight nears its holiday season release date – so place your request now before the queue gets any longer.

I must disclose that I am a huge fan of the paranormal fantasy fiction genre, specifically stories that feature action and suspense more than superficial romantic fantasy fluff. Series featuring the characters Rachel Morgan, Riley Jensen, Joanna Archer, Detective Inspector Chen, and early Anita Blake are among my favorites. I tend to avoid anything that says “paranormal romance” at the top of the spine. That being said, I had not heard anything about Ms. Meyer or her books before I checked out Twilight on a co-worker’s recommendation: “I don’t want to tell you anything about it, just trust me, you’ll LOVE it.” She was absolutely spot-on and I would recommend this series to any other fans of paranormal fiction.
