An Update on "Vampire Knits" or "Vampire Fans Are Not Amused"
You may have read my little posting on a forthcoming knitting book called Vampire Knits. If not, you should totally read it now: Vampire Knits: When Books Go Wrong--Horribly, Horribly Wrong
Well, Team Bella is not happy. Take a look at this comment exchange between me and "Severs" (plus an anonymous "not a sarcastic existentialist"). I just hope I haven't alienated too many vampires out there. XOXO
"You just haven't earned it yet, baby?"
Ya dig?
Good luck with your as-yet undiscovered novel and I plan to buy three copies of "Vampire Knits" for Christmas gifts this year.
Oh Severs, it's too easy when you make my argument for me with shrill comments like this. And, no, I'm not a novelist, but I play one on tv.
Clearly, if you knew about my tragic history with knitting, you wouldn't ask such a callous question.
I love vampires. Some of my closest friends are vampires. I just think they should live in their own neighborhoods, with their own bars, and their own bookstores. It's just better that way.As for more weighty tomes, I'm currently reading "The Passage." It's heavy. Does that count? I have a chiropractor bill that I could post, too.
P.S. This is so obviously not a review that I'm not sure you even read what I wrote. Read it, have a beer, lighten up. Oh, and don't try to drink my blood.
I thought Prop 8 stopped that!! Back to the drawing board. You wouldn't happen to have the phone number of Thomas Monson by any chance?

Defender of books? A staunch liberal, uncompromising advocate? Hardly. Someone like that would never review a book without even reading it.More than likely, you are the jealous, undiscovered novelist mentioned above. Perhaps the words of Morrissey, another *published* wordsmith should apply to you:"You just haven't earned it yet, baby?"

Todd... maybe I'm just too dense to pick up on your "sarcastic existentialist" vibe, but I really don't understand what your argument IS other than you don't like a book that you haven't even read.Who knew that knitting could offend you so?Aug 24, 2010

I am certain that no novel was harmed in the production of a knitting book. Is it that you don't like the whole vampire thing or you don't care for knitting? I don't understand why you would spend time "reviewing" (can't really use the term, as the book hasn't been released yet...) an instruction manual and design book, rather than devote your considerable intellect to offering a discerning discussion of a more weighty tome.Aug 24, 2010

I guess Severs needs something to do during those long days in the coffin.
Besides, sometime you really can judge a book by it's cover.
I have no idea what's going on. Some people care about knitting vampires far too much...
@Nerdista: The Twi-hards LOVE me!
@Paul: You had me worried, then elated, then angry, then moist. I'm so confused.
