I've always liked a good story even before I caught my reading bug. Three or Four years ago I was alone a lot traveling for work. I was exposed to things that I had never given a shot before, new music, new food, all kinds of things. I realized how closed minded I had become over the years. I was in Target wandering around the day the first Twilight movie came out, and I kinda laughed because I heard how insane the Twihards were. Given my new found open-mindedness, I grab the first book and decided to read it before I placed my final judgment on those crazies. I read all night in my hotel and I was at Target as soon as they opened the next day to buy the rest of the books. When I finally finished the series (four days of barely any food and no sleep later) I was distraught. I didn't know how to go on after that. I tried coping by surfing for fan sites and talking to others about it, but I just felt lost. Eventually I went to the book store to search for something to fill the giant whole I had. There was a shelf made just for me that said "If you liked twilight..." So I read every YA paranormal book I could get my hands on. After the third or fourth week still stuck in a hotel and devouring books I went to the bookstore to get my next fix. I was standing scanning the YA section trying to find something I hadn't read yet, and the clerk comes over to me. This little geeky guy that might have been 18ish grabs my arm and pulls me to a different section, then lets me go and walks away. Turns out he had dropped me off in the paranormal section for grown ups, and there was BDB. I wish I could go back and thank that guy now. I'm not sure if it was a gift or a curse that BDB was my first experience in adult paranormal because nothing else compares.
