Midnight Sun - The Partial Draft

For Twilight fans:

Apparently some moron got ahold of a partial draft of Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun (Twilight from Edwards POV) and posted it online. In a statement on her website, Stephenie said that she's put work on the novel on hold indefinitely, meaning it may never be published. I'm hoping once things blow over and she's calmed down she'll change her mind and complete the novel.

However, I can't blame her. I know personal the writing process is, and it truly is a violation to have something read publicly before it is completed to your satisfaction.

On a brighter note, Stephenie has decided that since the copy has already circulated the internet, she herself would provide access to the novel, so fans wouldn't have to feel guilty about reading it and being curious. The portion posted goes up to about halfway through chapter 11 ("Complications") of Twilight. There is a link on the main page of her website, as well as a letter from Stephenie, for anyone who is interested. I'm definitely going to be reading it; if there's a chance it won't ever be published then I'll at least read what I can.

There's a link to Stephenie's website in my list of links to the right, if you're interested.

Breaking Dawn

I just finished reading Breaking Dawn, and ... Wow. That's all I can say. This book was amazing. I got home from work around 1:30 and immediately started reading and didn't look up from the book till I realized it was 4am and decided I should probably get some sleep. I work up around 8, started reading again and continued reading until I finished about half an hour ago.

These books really took me by surprise. I still can't believe I love them as much as I do. They're just so engrossing. I already can't wait for the release of Midnight Sun (Twilight retold from Edward's perspective) and Stephenie Meyer hasn't even finished writing it yet.

If you're at all interested in the Supernatural and aren't adverse to romance, I highly recommend these books. They may be about high school students, but they're not as immature as you would expect. Definitely more along the lines of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
