If you just put the complete URL (with http://), Eric, the software should turn it into a link. No need for html. As in http://thmazing.blogspot.com/2008/07/country-music-scene-as-metaphor-for.html

. In this episode! --- A Lion and a Lamb by Rand H Packer about the missionary couple that reopened Palmyra. --- What Jesus Meant by Garry Wills (which is not technically LDS lit, but which I think many of us would enjoy and profit from) --- Dorian by Nephi Anderson, now one of my favorite LDS novels ever http://thmazing.blogspot.com/2008/09/17th-five-of-2008.html

Interesting review, Eric.
May I suggest that you give THE HOST a try (it's science fiction) as well, and at least consider some kind of comparative analysis?
As you found, there are things to like in TWILIGHT. Maybe there will be more of them (since she had time to grow as a writer) in THE HOST.

. I actually wanted to read <i>The Host</i> first, but the opportunity to write a paper for <i>Reading Until Twililght</i> (and the fact that my wife was borrowing it) led me to <i>Twilight</i> instead. I think she has a lot of potential and I look forward to her later work, but the rumors that she's being under-edited make me worry for her growth. I wish her luck.
