How Stephenie Meyer created a book lover

Staff writer Mallary Jean Tenore spoke with the women behind twilightseriestheories.com that appears in today's GuideLive.

She has some surprising details below:

Kassie Rodgers, who runs a fan club Web site for author Stephenie Meyers' "Twilight" books with her sister Kallie Mathews, has spent the past seven months talking and writing about the books' characters, plots, and themes for the site.

Today, Rodgers and her sister, both from North Texas, will lead a live podcast at the Columbus Circle Border's in New York City to celebrate tonight's midnight release of Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book in the "Twilight" series.

It's a lot of fanfare and celebrating for someone who doesn't like to read.

For years, Mathews tried introducing her sister to books, but Rodgers always said no thanks. The only book Rodgers read for pleasure was the Bible. When she did read other books, it was because she had to for college.

But when her book-loving sister told her about the "Twilight" books, something changed. Mathews told her the "Twilight" books were based on a love story. She didn't mention that the love story involved a vampire.
