Book Embargo

So a funny thing happened on Stephenie Meyer day….

Like I said, we had our little table with Bloody drinks and Bloody snacks… well in true vampire fashion (though I know not Meyer’s type of vampire), we had a bat!

Yes indeed, a bat. Now I was a little surprised since I was not expecting to pick up the table cloth and see a scared little batty! Eventually we did get it outside (though it shuffled back in on its own and then hid for a few minutes before flying around and then flying out the open door we held for it), but in the meantime, a bat gave the SEAL OF APPROVAL to our Stephenie Meyer day festivities. That is all you can ask for

I don’t want you to think that I missed out on the Breaking Dawn extravaganza! I made t-shirts for my coworkers as well as 3 for random people on our reserve list. I brought in hawaiian punch, and put it in a beautiful Venetian Cut Glass pitcher. I also made Red Velvet cupcakes, blood red. So there was a little blood theme. It was really fun. Everyone who came in to get their book was so excited. We had people waiting at the door, it was great fun.

Link to EW with the first chapter: here.

Here are the quotes from the website, all from the book.

1.Alice: “I’ll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors.”
Edward: “Why don’t you just tell me who wins?”
Alice: “I do. Excellent.”
2. Bella: “Oh, Mike! How will I go on?”
3. Tanya: “Ah, Edward. I’ve missed you.”
4. Emmett: “Oooo, scary.”
5. Bella: “Jasper? What do vampires do for bachelor parties? You’re not taking him to a strip club, are you?”
6. Charlie: “Bells, we’re up to bat.”
7. Edward: “You’re awfully small to be so hugely irritating.”
8. Bella: “Why am I covered in feathers?”
9. Alice: “No one will dare to call you plain when I’m through with you.”
Bella: “Only because they’re afraid you’ll suck their blood.”
10. Edward: “Oops.”
11. Renee: “Alice wouldn’t let us do anything else. Every time we tried, she all but ripped our throats out.”
12. Edward: “Do you want me to sing to you? I’ll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away.”
13. Rosalie: “Over my pile of ashes.”
14. Edward: “You look so guilty—like you’ve committed a crime.”
15. Sam: “This is not something our treaty anticipated. This is a danger to every human in the area.”
16. Rosalie: “I’d like to beat you dead.”
17. Jasper: “I can’t understand. I can’t bear this.”
18. Seth: “You’ll hurt her. Let her go.”
19. Carlisle: “I’ve seen vampire venom work miracles, but there are conditions that even venom cannot overcome.”
20. Jacob: “I’ll kill you myself! I’ll do it now!”
21. Bella: “Should I be afraid?”
Edward: “Terrified.”

Some more great photos are at Vball Lover’s Flickr.com page. Definitely check it out. Lots of great stuff!

I still have not read it yet. I’m going on vacation this weekend. So I will have had to wait an ENTIRE WEEK to start it. EEK! So NO spoilers, well… no spoilers ever, that’s just rude, but definitely not until I’ve read it.

Also, going to listen to the Host in the car. Gotta love Stephenie Meyer.

PS. Don’t forget the movie is coming out December 12th. EEK!!!!

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.
