Stephenie Meyer day

First, you HAVE bought your copy of Host that went on sale today… right?
It is beautiful, and bigger than I thought. Going by the advance, I thought it would be a little thinner, but for $26.99 (ouch) it works for its thickness. It really was a great book, and has gotten some really good reviews.

Secondly, in the film version of Twilight. Reality is coming closer. And yes, you know where I will be on December 12th.

The Host

Have I told you how much I LOVED THE HOST??? hmmm I may have mentioned it!

Well, with the May 6th 2008 release date RAPIDLY approaching, Stephenie has been given permission to post a chapter online. I will only be giving the link, not the transcription, because you can’t transcript. So just read, and be jealous that I have read the whole book.

So, go forth, enjoy, and tell me what you think!

Here is the page at StephenieMeyer.com and click on the chapter link and go!

Post-Eclipse

Meyer trifecta

I finished Eclipse. (yes a while ago, but summer is busy, what can I say!) Wowsers was it good!

I had ONE MAJOR PROBLEM with it though… I bet a LOT of you shared my dilemma……

I could not IMMEDIATELY sit down and read book 4… other than that, I loved it. Good news Breaking Dawn is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2008, so hope is near… not TERRIBLY near, but near enough.

ABC has a video interview with Stephenie, linked here, and yeah, its a fun interview. :). My favorite line in the interview,

“There are so many heroes out there who have super magical powers and they can do these great things. I identify more easily with someone who is just human. And I think that’s a lot of [Bella's] appeal. All of us can understand being just human.”

Eclipse was wonderful, and don’t forget that Stephenie is touring across the country, and I will be at the Mass signing.

Tuesday, September 11, 2007
at 7:00pm Q & A/signing
Barnes and Noble — LOCATION CHANGE

Eclipse commentary and quotage

Well, I haven’t read Eclipse yet, so NO SPOILERS HERE. Not that there would be ANYWAYS. Did you know that EVERY one of my “top incoming searches” is for “eclipse spoilers.” Come on now people!

Regardless of your choices, I will not be starting (and finishing presumably) Eclipse until tomorrow night. Sadly, Sadly, Sadly…. So you can’t even think about spoilers here until then!

Meyer trifecta

I wanted to list all the quotes from Stephenie’s website for July and August, leading up to Today!!!! They are on her website at www.stepheniemeyer.com/ecl_quotes.html.

July
1st) “And speaking of Italy and sports cars that I stole there, you still owe me a yellow Porsche.” — Alice Cullen

2) “I prefer brunettes.” — Edward Cullen

3) “We’re a bit sensitive to blood around here. I’m sure you can understand that.” — Bella Swan

4) “There’s something…strange about the way you two are together… The way he watches you—it’s so…protective. Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you or something.” — Renee Dwyer

5) “I don’t have any leeches on my speed dial.” — Jacob Black

6) “I’m really glad Edward didn’t kill you. Everything’s so much more fun with you around.” — Emmett Cullen

7) “Here’s the thing… I’ve already gone crazy once. I know what my limits are.” — Bella Swan

8 ) “Edward’s only human, Bella. He’s going to react like any other boy.” — Angela Weber

9) “I never thought I needed to teach you how to throw a punch. Guess I was wrong about that.” — Charlie Swan

10) “This hostage stuff is fun.” — Alice Cullen

11) “Does my being half-naked bother you?” — Jacob Black

12) “Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren’t in love with me?” — Edward Cullen

13) “I already know how strong you are. You didn’t have to break the furniture.” –—Bella Swan

14) “Would you like to hear my story, Bella? It doesn’t have a happy ending—but which of ours does? If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now.” — Rosalie Hale

15) “You aren’t exactly the best judge of what is or isn’t dangerous.” — Edward Cullen

16) “I didn’t have quite the same…upbringing as my adopted siblings here. My beginning was something else entirely.” — Jasper Hale

17) “I think I might have been wrong before, you know, about not being able to be friends. Maybe we could manage it, on my side of the line. Come see me.” — Jacob Black

18) “It’s the thought that counts. I ought to know.” — Edward Cullen

19) “Well, that just sucks! I guess I’m stuck with Mike Newton after all.” — Bella Swan

20) “Fall down again, Bella?” — Emmett Cullen

21) “Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV.” — Jacob Black

22) “Hey, vampire girl!” — Embry Call

23) “Besides…the more time I spend with you, the more human emotions seem comprehensible to me. I’m discovering that I can sympathize with Heathcliff in ways I didn’t think possible before.” — Edward Cullen

24) “Do you think either of them would give up if you died? They’d still fight, we all would. You can’t change anything, so just be good, okay?” — Alice Cullen

25) “I was just wondering why you stabbed him. Not that I object.” — Edward Cullen

26) “The stories say that the Cold Woman was the most beautiful thing human eyes had ever seen. She looked like the goddess of the dawn when she entered the village that morning; the sun was shining for once, and it glittered off her white skin and lit the golden hair that flowed down to her knees. Her face was magical in its beauty, her eyes black in her white face. Some fell to their knees to worship her.” — Billy Black

27) “It’s a good thing you’re bulletproof.” — Bella Swan

28) “I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life.” — Jacob Black

29) “I feel like screaming!” — Jessica Stanley

30) “Would you please tell me what you are thinking? Before I go mad?” — Edward Cullen

31) “Maybe you should pick on people your own size.” — Charlie Swan

August
1st) “I can’t imagine how awful that must feel. Being normal? Ugh.” — Bella Swan

2) “I know you think that I have some kind of perfect, unyielding self-control, but that’s not actually the case.” — Edward Cullen

3) “The right thing isn’t always real obvious. Sometimes the right thing for one person is the wrong thing for someone else. So…good luck figuring that out.” — Charlie Swan

4) “I never thought I’d see the day where I’d be willing to take a bet against you, Alice, but it has arrived.” — Bella Swan

5) “You’ve experienced the way I can manipulate the emotions around myself, Bella, but I wonder if you realize how the feelings in a room affect me. I live every day in a climate of emotion. For the first century of my life, I lived in a world of bloodthirsty vengeance. Hate was my constant companion.” — Jasper Hale

6) “Quite a pity how things turned out, isn’t it?” — Jane

Hope you enjoy and remember even if YOU want to be spoiled… don’t spoil it for others!

Enjoy the quotes :)

Official Little Brown report on Stephenie Meyer

Okay, so I’ll admit it. I have been trying to find the first chapter of Eclipse so that I can post it here for you. To no avail.

This is what I did find out. There was NO LAYDOWN for the Special Edition of New Moon. I understand that people were saying there was one for May 5th. Yeah, no. This information was gained from Andy S. at Little Brown’s customer service.

That said, I believe that there are still restrictions on when the first chapter of Eclipse can be posted online. Stephenie will be the first to legitimately post it on her site, www.stepheniemeyer.com. So continue to check there!

And I was searching Youtube and found this. Enjoy!

The Prom!!!

(First. If you are looking for the FIRST CHAPTER OF ECLIPSE. It is not here, it is not on the internet. Go to your local bookshop and read it, but rumor is that the first chapter can’t be posted online until July… no idea why. If it does get posted, I bet Stephenie is the one who will do that. Anyways, now the post!)

Did you know about the prom?

Stephenie Meyer hosted a Prom in Phoenix Arizona. Tied in with New Moon’s Special Edition (which includes the first chapter of Eclipse as well as other goodies), the prom was filled to the max. Stephenie read the first chapter of Eclipse, there were Twilight Teez for sale, photos, and contests for the best Bella and Edward, among others.

Here is Stephenie Meyer with the boys who were Jacob and Edward. As it says on my Flickr Page, this image is from www.ravenclaw.us/phoenix_prom_pictures.htm. Definitely go there for even MORE great photos!

Twilight Lexicon image of Stephenie Meyer at prom

I am sure that I mentioned the Lexicon to you all before. The Twilight Lexicon is a great collection site for everything Twilight. There is a report of the prom there, and here is a quote,

After she finished reading, she thanked everyone who helped to put the event together and then said that she could see that most people had come “stag” to the prom. A fast look around the room confirmed that as there were maybe 10 boys present who weren’t someone’s dad. So, Stephenie said she brought dates for everyone. From this side door entered “Edward” and “Jacob” both of who really looked the part. Edward proceeded to the stage where he held Stephenie’s hand in his gloved one and gave it a kiss. Not to be outdone Jacob gave her a warm hug.

So that was the prom. There were others around the country; Utah, New Jersey, From sea to shining sea. I hope everyone had a great time, and remember, ECLIPSE August 7th!!!!
