nooo....

Stephanie Meyer is putting Midnight Sun on hold after an early draft leaked on-line. Why must you do this to me?? And, also, where can I find this draft? Must google...

For the non-Twilight obsessed, Midnight Sun is the retelling of Twilight from vampire Edward Cullen's perspective. And yes, some of you may think, why the hell would you want to read the same book just told from a different view point again? Well, all I can say to that is...I don't know. I'm clearly a pathetic human being but damn if I don't love that silly vampire.

Breaking Dawn Release

As some of you loyal readers may remember that one our first posts was about the Harry Potter Book 7 Release. In honor of that, I'm making this week's literary event, the most anticipated release party since that INSANE event. That's right, folks. Stephanie Meyer's Breaking Dawn is being released this Friday - and the midnight buying frenzy is back. I've never actually read any of these books, but Paige Sexie, Ladytron, and Babytron swear by them. Well, maybe swear by is a bit strong, but they seem quite obsessed. So, in honor of them (and Ms. Meyer), dress up and line up to learn the fate of Bella, Edward, Jacob and the rest of those crazy vampire/werewolf kids.

It remains to be seen, however, if Ladytron will once again brave the masses to report on the chaos for us. She seemed quite frightened at the idea of lining up in Union Square again. So if any of you slunch fans attend a party, feel free to send something in to us! And look for a review of the new book in the next week or so.

Do tell,

So it begins...

I know I might be the last person to board this train, but I have just discovered the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. It’s not like I hadn’t heard of them (I do work in publishing), but it’s more like I barely have time to read books other than those I’m working on – reading for “fun” doesn’t really happen so much these days. However I did find a moment last week to start Twilight…and I’m hooked. As in “I might be a problem hooked" and I’ll admit, I probably like it more than I should. But what can I do?!? I’m a sucker for forbidden love, and forbidden love + vampires … sign me up!

So during our morning meeting today, Paige Sexie and I discussed my new obsession and compared notes. Instead of getting it out of my system, though, discussing the matter only fed into my need for all things Twilight and forced me to go do more “research” on the book. And by research, of course I mean Googling, looking at fan sites, etc.

And then I saw this:

Now readers, there are few things I love more than movie hype – even the worst movies (ie. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones) seem great in trailers. It's the promise of a good movie that's so exciting. So sure Twilight the movie might be really cheesy… perhaps even god awful. But will I still be first in line on opening night?... Absolutely.

Enjoy the hype!
