It's here! TWILIGHT!

Don't forget! HHS Reads Twilight by Stephenie Meyer this Thursday, Nov. 20th -- and we will be having a private showing for only HHS students this Saturday, November 22nd at Valley Square Cinema! Please turn in your permission forms ASAP if you will be attending. We will meet at 9am at the high school, with the showing at 10am, and will return after noon on Saturday.

More Breaking Dawn!

Here's a screenshot of the cover:

Talk about ominous! This looks to me like two chess queens in opposition, which should mean the conflict will be ratcheted up to the limit.

Literary Controversy: The Twilight Movie -- good or bad?

As we hit the end of the school year, one interesting question dominates most of our readers:

Just how bad - or good - will the Twilight m0vie adaptation be?

Thus far, the controversy rages, in part because Twilight is a fan phenomenon that has missed a large part of the mainstream even yet. That is to say, the big fans are already nitpicking 'getting it right', when those who've never heard of it are so far behind that they don't even know there is something to get wrong. Witness articles like this, after all.

There's a lot of casting controversy; now that some of the 'that's not my Bella and Edward!' has died down, the latest source of scream is 'that's not my Jacob Black!', as Taylor Lautner (Shark Boy from Shark Boy and Lava Girl, natch) has been cast as Jacob. Personally, I can't get over Peter Facinelli as Carlisle Cullen -- I keep thinking, 'The guy from Fastlane, that failed series on Fox, is the family patriarch? Really?'. But I'm old.

So weigh in: how bad is it gonna get?

Stephenie Meyer TOUR!

Stephenie Meyer is touring for her new science fiction book The Host -- and she's coming to our area!

Her tour begins at none other than the Mall of America starting on Tuesday, May 6th. Logistics for attending are a bit difficult -- see Stephenie's website for details for wristbands for the signing -- but for those of you who are wild about her work, the information on how to attend can be found there.

I added photos to the HHS Reads Photo Album.


We had a huge discussion during 2nd lunch 19 people (including me)!! Way to go you guys I hope you enjoyed the discussion. I can't believe it is the last one of the year. We will miss the seniors--Megan O, Megan W, Dani H, Jordan M, Sara J, Holly B, and Nissa T--next year!

I gave up. I got New Moon, Rebel Angels and Just Listen by Sarah Dessen.

All of them were really great. It was weird, because with her new book, Sarah Dessen involves characters and a location with her new characters. I was really excited. I bet if she keeps intertwining the stories, it could make an interesting series of movies. And I mean good movies, not melodramatic mandy moore stuff.

Speaking of movies, did you guys hear that they might make twilight into a movie? Danielle probably already knows, but I still think it's interesting. I really hope they don't mess up the story, like they do so many times...
