Twilight (On DVD 3/21/09)

[brewcrew26]

On a side note, I'm still perplexed as to what marketing genius decided that it would be "better" to delay the next HP movie....especially with all the hype & comparisons to Twilight. I don't think delaying it will add new audiences...I think all they really did was tick a lot of people off. But hey, at least the move opened up a slot for Twilight.

It might be on MTV.com, but the stories they have about the Harry Potter fans vs. the Twilighters are hilarious! They interview the cast of Twilight and I think it was the guy who plays Emmett answered the question, "Who would win in a fight - vampires or wizards?" And he answered, "I'm not sure, they have brooms."

It was freakin' hilarious! I can't wait for this movie to come out. Since I started reading the books, I've been hooked on finding as much info as possible. I feel kinda nerdy about it.

I am a big Twilight fan too. I enjoy an easy read when the kids are around...
Funny..I pictured Rob Pattinson or something like him when I was reading the book. I was disappointed with Breaking Dawn at first but after I read the series a second time I enjoyed it more. I was also disappointed with Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows the first time around.

I am definately on Team Edward..Jacob annoyed me beyond belief..reminded me too much of my soon to be ex husband!

. I just love Edward!

Welcome to the club. Wait until you see him in action in the 3rd book Eclipse. Be still my heart...

I'm the same way. I actually read about the leaked story line so I knew going into BD what was going to happen. I think I just don't like when everything is neat and wrapped up. The last star wars (which was actually movie 3 I think) drove me nuts as well. I'm going to listen to Breaking Dawn again on audio book and see if I enjoy it more.
Happy Reading!!!

I love romantic vampire novels. Does anyone have any suggestions for another series/books that are similar?

Yes, I highly recommend "The Last Vampire" series (7 books total) by Christopher Pike...One of the first vampire series I ever read and it started me on a vampire book rampage lol....I still have all my books. Thank god, because that series stopped being printed a few years ago. You have to do some digging to find them but I recommend it HIGHLY. Its worth the digging. If your interested I would start by calling you local used book dealer.


I love vampire series. I love a lot of books though lol. I am constantly reading. I read the entire series, and I most say Breaking Dawn is the best out of the series. I saw an interview w/ Stephanie Meyer and she is in the process of writing another book, not necessarily a part of this series, but sort of. She is writing a book based on Edwards point of view about everything. That should be good! I cant wait for that!

I just went to look for the third book for my grandson. The fourth is in stock but not the third and he is afraid he won't find it. I assured him that it WOULD be back in stock soon. I did see another new Stephanie Meyer book on the shelf also and noticed it was not part of the series but didn't get a chance to check it out thoroughly. I just found this thread and was intriged by it. My grandson, 17, walked in yesterday and asked if I wanted to read Twilight and that he was on the second book. So I'm going to start it next after I finish Dead Heat by Joel Rosenburg which is the last book in his Ezekiel series. VERY GOOD SERIES! Has anyone else found Eclipse hard to find? Wal Mart said they would only be getting two more copies of Eclipse in which makes no sense to me it this is the hit series of the summer with the new book just having come out.

[TinkerbellT421]

No, I have not found it dificult to find, though it might be more popular now too. I bought all three when the third book came out. If you have a local borders or target I would check there. They always (I seem to find) have a very big stock of the series. Walmart I always have a hard time finding books. The other book by Stephanie is called "The Host", thats the next book I will be reading after I am done with my current Stephen King book. It is not related AT ALL to the current series, its not even a vampire book. But I cant say more than that without completely giving it away. But I have read bits and peices from online, it seems like also a very good book.

[pixiesmimi]

Thanks! DGS wanted to make a trip to a Barnes and Noble 30 miles away in the middle of Faye this weekend to get the book and I figured that if Wal Mart had the series they would be getting the third one back in soon. Especially since they seem to have plenty of the newest one in and the others. Sounds like I might need to go ahead and get this other one that Stephanie Meyers has written before they sell out of it also. I'm always looking for new authors that I haven't read. Seems like everytime I find one that I love to read or they have series, then they go away for a while and I start looking for something else to read. I'll just make a trip this week and see if I can find it.

I had problems finding Eclipse at our B&N's. I had bought paperbacks of the first two and assumed paperbacks were available for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Just so you know, you can only get those in hard cover at the moment.

But, if you want a Spanish-language paperback of Eclipse, that's available. I almost picked that one up by mistake -- thank goodness I actually opened it up to read a few lines. I wasn't about to try to translate 700+ pages even though I do speak Spanish. That was a little much.

Borders also has an exclusive movie calendar for Twilight with lots of cool photos. And B&N has the exclusive Godiva Twilight chocolate bars.

"usually" and I say that in quotes cause I am estimating, but usually you cannot get a paperback of any book (of good authors) till the fourth or fifth print additions...They NEVER offer paperwork within the first few prints. Never seen that happen. You wont be able to get paperbacks of the newest one till ATLEAST Janauryish if I had to estimate, depends on how many prints it has to go through. I never wait that long lol. I have hardcovers of all my books, and I have 500+ books lol. Everyone makes fun of me, I have my own personal library practically....lol....I tend to obsess lol

[SBETigg]

I think Edward behaves a little stalkerish and it really turned me off. But Twilight was an easy, fast read and pretty engaging. My daughter doesn't like the series, but her friends are all over it. I do want to see the movie version.

If you're into vampire fiction and you're a mature reader, you might like The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance, an anthology featuring over 25 bestselling paranormal romance authors. My story kicks off the volume. I was thrilled to be included, and especially honored to go first.

I do too! I usually buy the hardback of my books even though they are more expensive. Paperbacks tear up too easily and if I'm going to keep the book, I want it in hardback. My book collection probably rivals yours. I've been upset sometimes when buying a series and get the first few books in hardback and then can't find the rest of the series except in paperback. Hate that! I'm not into Vampire books but can't wait to start this one and see what all the hoop-lah is about.

Cool!! I just pre ordered your next book. Best of luck!!!
I'm heading over to amazon right now to order this too.

[SBETigg]

Thanks, Tracy! My childrens' college fund really appreciates it.

I loved it!!!! I can't wait till she finishes it. I just thought it was amazing "hearing" his thoughts about the story. I'm so in love with Edward anyways and think he's such a compelling character. It's a great idea for a character study.

I finally just ordered the book from Wal Mart.com and had it sent to me. I will be here in a couple of days. Wal Mart never did get it in and I just don't have time to run up the road to try to find it especially with Gustav possibly coming in this weekend. DGS is chomping at the bit to get it. I'm starting Twilight tonight. Looking forward to getting into it since you all have made it sound so good.

All I am going to say is hurry up and get to breaking dawn!!! My absolute favorite, took me two days to read it, and a lot of lack of sleep!! lol!! Best out of the series in my personal opinion!! lol!!! Im going to read it again right after I finish reading Stephanies other book 'The Host'.
