Following my heart, one book at a time...
Oh how we were teased last week over this possibility. Our whole book-world (well, at least us Twilight die-hards) exploded in excitement, and then today… we’re still exploding… though with a ton of relief!! YAY US!!!! And OMG it’s almost 700 pages!??! And how I LOVE this cover. Absolutely perfect in every way, especially symbolically.
First, I found an OLD chat from 2008 between my mom and I while I was reading the Twilight series. This blog didn’t exist yet, but it was just a couple of months from it’s start (even though I didn’t know it, at the time)! SO I posted the chat below, because it is essentially… a look into the start of my reading and blogging love!
It’s no secret that Twilight is what kick-started my reading obsession. Or “re-kick-started” it, since I’ve been an avid reader all my life, but kind of lost my reading way, as an adult, reading only about 4 or 5 books a year. *gasp*!!!!! The horror!!! Considering I average 3 books a week now… (and if I could, I’d read a book a day)!
So while I gear up for my Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy) review (I’ve been in mourning and needed to recover. I miss the book!! I MISS IT!), I’ve decided to give away my own copy, of the very first book that hooked me into this genre forever, and gave me the same languishing ache, once I knew it was over.
My copy of Twilight. It’s used. But it’s loaded with my good “vampire-love” energy. I can still feel it vibrating with my emotional overload that I transfused it with as I read it 😉
Whoa this is news!! I had no idea Stephenie Meyer was releasing anything more for the Twilight Saga, so I’m stoked!!
The book “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella” will be from the perspective of a “newborn” (in this case, Bree’s transition). It will be available June 5th (and with each purchase, $1 will be donated to the Red Cross). Amazon already has it on sale for pre-order (sale price of $7.69). It will also be available to read for free on https://www.breetanner.com from June 7th to July 5th (with an option to donate to the Red Cross online too!)
Sort of old news for some of you, but I have just found out that the book "The Host" will be made into a movie! Check out the report on Variety.com
Here’s a fun list at the Examiner.com with the chosen "dream cast" for the Host movie as voted by their readers (note: this is NOT the official cast of the actual movie. Just a fun "dream cast" if you will…)
In other news, I read in one of her interviews that she intends on making The Host, a trilogy. Wikipedia sites:
