Stephenie Meyer Goodstuff

Ok, so. I have a few points to make, all of which center around everyone's favorite author :D

01. Prom Nights From Hell by Meg Cabot, Stephenie Meyer, and a few other authors didn't come out on April 1st like it was supposed to. The current release date is April 24th--hopefully they don't change it again! For anyone who's interested it's 4-6 short stories about paranormal prom dates, all of which go very wrong. It looks really good, and is by several fantastic authors so you should definately check it out once it's released!

02. New Moon by Stephenie Meyer comes out in paperback soon, and this is supposidly a "special edition" book, from what I understand. It will have the first chapter of Eclipse in it (yay!) as well as a few other goodies (I want to say a poster and maybe something like stickers but I can't remember for sure). Originally I thought it came out May 5th, which is the date of the Eclipse Prom (a Stephenie Meyer event in Phoenix, for those who aren't aware ^^), but after talking to the bookstore that is sponsering the event the current release date for this book is April 10th. Make sure to watch for it if you want to read the first chapter of Eclipse!

03. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer comes out August 7th. I talked to a few people at Barnes & Noble last night and asked them nicely to have a Eclipse release party, similar to what they do with Harry Potter. I got a name and e-mail to contact, but before I did so I wanted to find out how many people would be interested in going to it. That way we would be able to get the book at 12:01 AM rather than waiting until normal opening hours--if you're anywhere as obsessed with these books as I am you won't want to wait the extra 10 hours or so. Plus, what could be more fun than a party for it!?

Oh, and in terms of what I've read recently. Frankenstein, which wasn't very good. I wouldn't reccomend it, though learn about the author if you're bored. Mary Shelley had a very interesting life...

I think that it is a wonderful idea to be able to get Eclipse at 12:01 rather than waiting so many more hours.
