We met Stephenie Meyer today!

Hi all! Carrie & I had a great morning in Pasadena! We put on our "I love Edward Cullen" tees and drove to Vromans bookstore in Pasadena to meet the fabulous Stephenie Meyer! She did a 1/2 hour Q&A with the crowd outside which was fun. Carrie & I were right up front and we both got to ask her a question so that was great! Then we lined up for the book signing and snapped a couple pics before it was our turn to get ours signed. They wouldn't allow posed photos with her because it would be too time consuming :( We didn't get rushed through the line though because I had bought her this funny card and I showed it to her and she really liked it and laughed and then showed it to her sister (I think it was her sister) It was a particularly appropriate card because it showed a bunch of animals in the library reading books on how to fight their natural instincts and such so I thought of Edward & Jacob in the library on a Saturday learning how to control their impulses..........I know, I'm silly, but she thought it was funny too. Anyhoo, we told her how much we LOVE the books and said congrats on all of her success and she was really grateful and nice. Oh, and she liked our Edward shirts too! Interesting observation though...alot of the younger girls that were there seemed to be on "Team Jacob". Hmmmm...

Hi there! I've finished New Moon and I'm about 150 pages into Eclipse.........who else is reading the sequels? New Moon is SO worth the read! I am so glad we chose Twilight for book club and I can't WAIT to talk about my favorite man, Harry Potter next month! Talk about sequel heaven!

Twilight Website

Hey All,

Has anyone checked out Stephenie Meyer's website? http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/
I wouldn't recommend going there if you haven't finished the book yet, but it has some great extras, including deleted chapters, information on the possible movie, and also she even has the first chapter of Midnight Sun which is basically Twilight from Edward's point of view...it's really interesting.

So this is my third time reading through the book, and it is still difficult to put down! For those of you who enjoyed the book, I highly recommend New Moon. It's also really great.

Who is YOUR 'Edward Cullen'?

I think I can speak for any woman/girl who has read Twilight when I say I am in love with Edward Cullen. And I have been trying so hard to think of who on this earth is as perfect as he is! Who would portray him if Twilight is made into a movie? Well, I decided on Jude Law. He would be my Edward Cullen anyway. He probably couldn't pass for 17, so wouldn't actually ever play a part like that, but I think he could make my heart skip a beat if he looked at me with smoldering eyes. But that's just me. Who would play YOUR 'Edward'?

Melanie's 'Edward':
A young Johnny Depp.
Yes, a very good choice indeed.
