Twilight - Breaking Dawn breaking rules

This sort of thing drives me batty. No kidding. Pun, intentional or not is putting it mildly.

A school library in Utah had taken Breaking Dawn of the Twilight series off the shelf because of one complaint about sexual content. They denied that was the reason, citing that other Twilight books were available at their library (okay, so then what's wrong with this one?).
Apparently the sex involved is marital too (and only implied), so what’s the problem?

I would withhold judgment before writing anything about this, but the grounds have no solid argument. There are countless jr. high and high school books that include implied and described sexual situations. Heck, the bible has implied sex. Just more anti-vambites who have a problem with a human/vampire relationship.

Better stay away from those Sookie Stackhouse novels, n00bs.

Read this if you want your blood to boil.

I see dead people seeing you seeing me

Of course we’ve all wondered, so why wouldn’t someone have thought of writing a book about it until now? Do Dead People Watch You Shower and other questions you’ve been all but dying to ask a medium by Concetta Bertoldi should be an interesting read. I’m not sold on mediums, but who am I to judge? I’m a vampire.
She sure seems to know a lot… or at least she thinks she does… or at least she believes you think she does. Either way, it should be entertaining or insightful… or both.

Recycle your used parts

This story is more of interest to our good friend, Abby Cadaver, but human mortals should be aware of it too. I first read about this process in the book, STIFF by Mary Roach.
When you die, your body can be pressure cooked and pulverized into a tasty dust that’s pretty good on spaghetti as a dietary replacement for Romano cheese. No polluting furnace is involved.
Clicky.
Just remember to be sure a body is actually dead before you squish it into the processor. Many of us just look dead.
