Welcome to 30 Days of Must Read Authors! Every day throughout June one of our VIPers (Jenn, Susan Or Melanie) with occasional comments from the others will present one of their favorite authors and the series or series'  they recommend! Hopefully you will find some new books and new authors to love!

Day 27 -  Stephanie Meyer - From Jenn

Author name: Stephanie Meyer
Genre(s) they write: Young Adult Paranormal​
How I found the author-  I first heard of her in school, and then through the twilight movies, which actually made me go back to read the books, well except for New Moon. (Melanie - yup we all feel that way about New Moon lol)
Why people should read​: I think people would like her because she has a different take on vampires, yes even though they sparkle I think there’s something extraordinary about the Cullens that I like and I think others will also.​
Recommended Series:  The Twilight Saga
I’m sure these really need no introduction but Bella swan moves to Forks, Washington and there she meets Edward Cullen, who ends up being a vampire but in a different sort of way, and yes I mean by the fact that he sparkles. I even like the movies based on these book, well all except maybe new moon. I just skip to the end on that. (Melanie - same here - we watch the first bit and the end and skip ALL the middle)
Conclusion: - Again I’m sure we’ve all read these books or at least have seen these movies. I’ve had a love hate relationship with this series, but lately it tends to be more on the love side. This also has a retelling where the story is flipped and Bella is a Cullen and Edward is the human, interesting right. I do love me a retelling.
Melanie Says - I remember reading the books back in the day because Emily wanted to read them and some parents thought their children were too young - I deemed Emily (obviously) to be fine.  I am not a huge Meyer fan for the most part but I have to give it to her that her world building skills are amazing.  This is another series where I lean in favor of the movies EXCEPT Midnight Sun. This was Twilight told from Edward's Point of View and I don't know if she was just at the point in her career where she has better editors around her OR the first time round they wanted to skew the books much lighter, but Midnight Sun is fabulous! (This was my video with my thoughts about it - the first part is spoiler free and the big SPOILER WARNING will appear when you need to turn it off if you haven't read it).
