What is a twinkie novel, you ask? A twinkie novel is one with no nutritional value. It's the book that you read purely for the pleasure of reading. It's also probably the book you keep shelved in the bedroom and put a paper bag over when you take it out in public. Everyone's definition of their twinkie novel will be different; what one person will boldly read on the bus, another will hide in their jacket. But my challenge for you this New Year is to display your twinkie novel proudly.
And so, I offer you my own twinkie novel of the year: Master of Smoke by Angela Knight.
Knight's novels are fun. Yes, they're steamy, as the cover may have tipped you off, with vampires and werewolves and time travel. Yes, I am going to be teased mercilessly for this confession. But they still have enough plot and character to keep you reading, they read fast, and they offer a wonderful escape.
So, come on, I dare you. Share your twinkie novel.
