I am sooo upset, did anyone read on Stephanies website that she has post-poned the final writing/release if Midnight Sun!! Someone she uses to preread her several versions of the book before final finish released it on the internet!! She is soo upset about she has officially postponed it INDEFINITELY and doesnt think she will ever release it officially. So she posted the link to the released copy. But the whole thing makes me very upset!! I want that book!! lol... But very upset non the less...Very disappointing.

I don't understand why that would keep her from releasing the book. I would sue whoever it was and then go ahead and finish it and release it. People will want to read it anyway, especially after this happening. That is terrible that you can't even trust the people working with you on things like this.

Finally got Eclipse in for DGS. It came yesterday. Wouldn't you know it? They got it in at Wal-Mart the same day. Oh, well. I got it cheaper by ordering it. DGS was so excited that it was finally in. He couldn't wait to get home last night to start reading it.

I read what Stephenie posted of Midnight Sun, and honestly thought it was terrible. I know it's a (very) rough draft, but there were times I cringed after reading a line or two. It didn't feel like a Twilight book. It felt like bad fanfiction to me. She must have an amazing editor if most of her manuscripts start off like that. Please don't get me wrong, I adore the Twilight series (many would say obsessed) and Stephenie as an author, but I was really disappointed in what I read. It also could be that the Twilight books are all from Bella, and I didn't like being in Edward's head. Although it was fun to read about what he was doing when he wasn't with Bella and interacting with the Cullens at home. I still hope she will finish it eventually, but I am looking forward to the Host sequals and other stories first.

I agree. This seems odd. I think the publisher would still want to put it out there. The fanbase is enormous and there's no question that people would buy it. But it sounds as if she doesn't have the heart to finish it now. She may change her mind. I was really surprised that she would trust anyone to read it before it was ready to go, honestly. I don't know any writers who do that, but everyone has a different process.

I also read some of what she offered of Midnight Sun. I think she was probably having trouble getting into Edward's head enough for him to carry the whole book in his point of view without getting redundant. It would have been amazing if she'd pulled it off, but what a tough job. It's possible that she was simply having trouble translating the idea to the page as well as she wanted to execute it. Not that it's not also true that someone shared her work. How heartbreaking for her. What a betrayal.

I finished all 4 books. I don't remember enjoying a series quite so much in a very long time. I was sad to be finished. After reading all of it, I found myself still wanting more of these characters. I also read Midnight Sun and found it very entertaining reading from Edward's perspective. I really wish she would finish it.

I have just started Twilight and can't put it down! It is a great book! I have just found a new favorite author.

[Melanie]

I'm almost done with Twilight, and have the next two sitting here waiting to be read. I never thought this would be my kind of book, but I'm really enjoying it. Hope to finish this weekend!

[pixiesmimi]

I finished Twilight last night. Boy! Was it good! I didn't think I would like the series either, but I was wrong. I started New Moon today. I'm about half way through already. My DGS tells me that this one will make me mad. I'm surprised that he has enjoyed the series so much since it seems to be a "chick" series to me but maybe he is looking at it from Edward's point of view or a vampire's point of view. It is great anyway and I will be buying more of her books.

What exactly is Twilight about? I am curious about it, and am considering starting the series.

[pixiesmimi]

It is sort of a vampire romance novel. Can't tell you more without spoiling it. You have to read it! You won't be able to put it down! It definately isn't what I was expecting.

I was surprised even DH read the entire series in about two weeks. Now, he's even excited for the movie to come out in November. It really stretches across so many different demographics as a great story!

My 14 year old is upstairs screaming. After 2 days of being home from school because of the storms that ripped through Ohio - they will probably be back in school tomorrow.

And her favorite author will be on Ellen tomorrow!

Hope my VCR works.

[pixiesmimi]

Is this Stephanie that is going to be on Ellen? Thanks for telling us. I will watch. I quit watching Ellen last year but would like to see her.

Don't worry, I'm sure it will be on you tube if your DD misses it. Also twilight lexicon keeps pretty up to date on happenings, they may post it!!!

[pixiesmimi]

Just got through watching the Ellen Show. Wow! 5 books in 4 years with three small children! Fascinating! The last book sold over 1 million copies just the first day it came out!

[Melanie]

Just went and checked out the trailer. I think it looks pretty good, and pretty much how I imagined everything.

What do you guys think of the casting? I've only seen the girl in Panic Room many years ago. I do like the thought of Jennie Garth's husband (Peter Facinelli) as Carlisle.

[PlanningMom]

Also, the release date of the movie has been moved up to NOV. 21~~

[pixiesmimi]

I think the characters look pretty good to me. I don't think anyone will look as "perfect" as they are described in the book but I'm sure they will do wonders with makeup. Can't wait for the movie.

Twilight is a great story for all ages. I have read all the books and the part of Midnight Sun on her website. I hope some day she will finish it.

They cast this movie perfect, I am so ready to see it.!

We leave for DW on the day the movie come out. 11/21 kinda of bitter/sweet because I love to go to DW, but I won't mind coming home this time.

Because I get to go see Twilight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
