We began as the Austin TM's, a group of adults who loved <i>Twilight</i>. From there we discovered how wonderful YA literature is. From the <i>Mortal Instruments</i> to <i>Hunger Games</i>, and too many to mention in-between, we have formed friendships. This site is a place to post meetings, book events, movie viewings, and any other special gatherings to discuss our favorite books you can think of. <br />
<br />
Soon we will be posting info about Bella's 4th annual Birthday party and about the TM <i>Breaking Dawn</i> movie premiere party, so be sure to become a follower. If you need to contact someone to have an event added or edited, please feel free to email lauraleetm at gmail dot com. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
