TWILIGHT vampire book!!!!!

[Jennasis]

I listened to the audio books, which im assuming have the correect pronunciation....

Quileute = Kwil-I-oote
Volturi= vole-tor-e
Esme= ez-may

I have yet to get to the last audio book (i read it tho).

Is that a cap "I" in there? So it's Kwil-ee-oot?

 

[MemoryMakers2669]

Esme is Ez (like Pez) May....my friend's daughters name is Esme.

 

[Brier Rose]

This is directly from a post made by Stephenie herself on the Lexicon..


Carlisle = CAR - lyle
Quileute = QUIL - yute (I asked the Quileute woman working in the Quileute Welcome Center)
Esme = EZ - may/mee (right in the middle of the two sounds)
Meyer = MY - er

Vol-tour-ee (as in: I just went on a tour of Volterra)

Caius - The "ai" in "Caius" sounds like the letter "I". Then just add "us" to the end and there you have it.

Hehehe, I guess a lot of people have trouble with some names. Especially the Volturi's names. But it's slightly easier for me to pronounce them because my first language is Spanish and so the sounds are very similar to Italian.

I finished it in less than 48 hours. So not what I was expecting but I tried to go into it not expecting any certain thing to happen or really wanting it to go a certain way. Over all I liked it. Still trying to get over a bit of my -ness. But this book has by FAR my favorite playlist. I feel kind of empty now though. I miss it already. Can't wait for Midnight Sun and the Movie.

Edit: Also did anyone come away from their book party with any cool extras? Mine I got a red ribbon [which I decided to use as a bookmark] and a "I was bitten by Breaking Dawn." sticker from a scavenger hunt we did, an "I was bitten by Breaking Dawn." pin which I won for picking Team Edward and buying a cookie [they didn't have Team Switzerland ] and I was actually picked in a raffle for pre-registering or my book and got a picture with Mike Welch! [was very surprised about that one.]

We didn't get anything to keep really. We got a sheet of cool stickers and I bought DD and me both one of the Godiva Twilight bars. The cover slides off, and that's what I'm using for a bookmark.

I just got a page of stickers and that was by luck because the Borders employees kept throwing random things into the crowd. I wanted a pin so bad, but didn't manage to catch one.
I had a yummie strawberry/blood smoothie. It was really good.

I struggle with the pronounciations of certain names too. (I won't even tell you how I originally pronounced Hermione's name in Harry Potter )

Misty! Look at youuuu! Course I see you every day, but that is one cutie patootie picture!

I didn't go to any release parties at all. I just waltzed into Costco and picked up my book for $12 (12 something). Love Breaking Dawn so far.

At the BD release party I went to, they gave us the sticker sheet and pin when we got our wrist bands. Then during the party they had a 4 page question sheet that you could do and hand in. The winner got a t-shirt. Then they had a section where you can do Twilight themed stencils on t-shirts you brought with you. Then they had a vote on prom king and queen, and a lot of teenagers were dressed for the prom. It was really cute. They also had a spot that had a black and red curtain with a big chess piece you can take a picture in front of. That was cool and DD and I got our picture taken. They had the Godiva bars for sale as well as themed drinks. They also had "face painting" but what they did was a bite mark on your neck for Edward lovers, and claw, scratch marks on your arm for Jacob lovers. I'm sure you know which I got! I had a lot of teenie boppers asking me where I got my shirt from! I made one for myself and my sister(she's 16) Mine was red and in black letters it said Team Edward on the front and then in the back it said real men sparkle! My sisters was white and in black letters it also said team Edward on the front and on the back it said runs with vampires. They came out really cool. We had fun at the party and were the 45th and 46th people to get our copies! We stayed up all night reading it, got a couple hours sleep and the kept reading!

Oh, we went to the store in the mall "Hot Topic" and they have Twilight movie t-shirts!!!

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I got a lot of people asking where my friend and I got our Cullen/Forks baseball caps. We costumized them at Lids, hehe.
We also had a lion with us that represented Edward and he was up like Simba in the Lion King all through the debate. XD

I went to both a borders and a barnes and noble party.
My "friends" told one of the Barnes and Noble employees (without my knowledge) that Ben and I had to do the chicken dance before we could get stickers.
I did it!
ha!
too bad they missed it because they were in another part of the store.
then the sales person (I almost typed cast member ) found a card that played the chicken dance song, so I had to do it again.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

Well, this is my video on the party and pretty much everything that happened. I was kinda dissapointed they didn't have time to do the costume contest. Though I heard that in another store near-by one of the employees dressed up as Wedding!Bella, why didn't I think of that?! -_-

I was looking up Pepboys in the phonebook ( I SWEAR!!) and happened to stumble across the C's.....hmmmm there is an Edward Cullen!!!!!

 

[Jennasis]

Sunnyday,
We moved my mother-in-law to a nursing home in April. In the room next door to her lives Edward Cullen! It gives me a jolt everytime I visit her. What's even weirder is that he is always covered with a sheet! He even pulls it over his head so I have no idea what he looks like. I think he's trying to keep from sparkling .

That is amazing! I don't know what I would do if I ever met a Cullen. Probably stare at them for a long time and then ask for Edward.
