I totally agree - Luckily I have a trip to Vegas and for the Holidays to visit my mom and I'll have the plane trips as well as some down time there to read. Worst case scenario is I read Them again - I'm almost done with Twilight AGAIN, lol!

 

[tofubeast]

OMG I was WAY late to the first thread and I never got to read that. I'm excited to do so. THanks for posting! P.S. I'll call you after New Years and we'll run those lines! Of course, I mean, my part in NEW MOON!

<---vampait

I hope you get a big role in New Moon and invite ALL OF US (who knew you before you were famous) to the premiere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am having so much fun reading the script. There are def. lots of lines here and there that were taken out...esp. in the scene in the woods just prior to the meadow!!

Oh and it looks like the scene where we think we see her curtain (beads) move by the window...it appears he was there...per the script and some stuff that was taken out!

Hey - what other books do you all love. I'm looking for some new books to put on my kindle. I just downloaded the 1st in the Southern Vampire series. I also bought the Host. I think I'm going to seriously have a hard time finding books I enjoy cuz it just won't be twilight lol.

You're going to LOVE the Sookie Stackhouse books! They are much more *adult* than the Twilight series and just as good- and better than the HBO show based on them.
After you finish a few let me know whether you're Team Bill or Team Eric!

I just saw on the Yahoo homepage they are slotting Nov 2009 for New Moon.

Why oh why does it take so long to make a movie? What am I going to do for the next 11 months?

The prom ::

My DH told me about it yesterday but I have been too sad to read the details.

Wow, so fast.... makes me nervous.

OH NO!!! At least you got to go see it Mel... hopefully they will be able to make repairs. It wouldnt be needed in New Moon anyways, I dont think.

 

[DisDarling]

You know, I am reading "New Moon" again and it STILL brought me to tears... even tho I KNOW what is happening, whats going to happen... what is WRONG with me??

P.S. ALWAYS Team Edward!!

Are any of you artistic, creative?? I was wondering WHY these books struck a nerve in people that MAKES us want to be in Forks! Is it what we KNOW we can't have? I am a creative person, and the reason I ask is because FOREVER I have believed in something else out there. I would sit in my room and sing at the top of my lungs "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and I would flip through my Disney books and listen to my records and BELIEVE that these other fantasy places exsisted.

Ok, now being 34, it hasnt changed! I am obsessed with Disney, ANYTHING Disney. I attend in garb the Renaissance Faires every summer, and watch all and any Fantasy movie. Was I born a child forever?

Of course!

You are SO awesome to get those pics and details posted. You are a girl after my own heart! (or however that saying goes)

You're going to LOVE the Sookie Stackhouse books! They are much more *adult* than the Twilight series and just as good- and better than the HBO show based on them.
After you finish a few let me know whether you're Team Bill or Team Eric!

I'm going to put these books on hold and check them out!

Hey - what other books do you all love. I'm looking for some new books to put on my kindle. I just downloaded the 1st in the Southern Vampire series. I also bought the Host. I think I'm going to seriously have a hard time finding books I enjoy cuz it just won't be twilight lol.

I LOVED the Host. Loved it. DH loved it. Love-It.

I read "A Great and Terrible Beauty" which was another YA book recommended by the author of Twilight. At least that's what I think I remember reading somewhere.. but I can't quite remember why I decided to read it now that I'm looking at Twilightmoms.com and don't see it listed there. But anyhoo....It was pretty good. It gave me goosebumps several times and that's a fun thing! It's not gory or overly sexy or anything like that. It's about a girl who discovers something about herself that is "special." You can get a MUCH better synopsis from amazon though!

Other books recommended by fellow Twilight fans were (from Twilightmoms.com): The Hunger Games, Wuthering Heights, Enthusiasm, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, City of Bones, The Host, Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, Dragonhaven, Breaking Dawn, Anansi Boys, The Serpent Garden

PERSONAL Favorites as of late: Secret Life of Bee's. I thought this was a very good book. It kept my interest which is not easy.

The Poisonwood Bible. This is an epic book. I really liked it but as with all epic type books there are slow times. I thought this was a very powerful read. My personal favorite. But NO vampires. Not even a hint. This reads like a true story and it is excellent.

(I also read Prodigal Summer and Pigs in Heaven by this author. Both were much lighter but still good.)

A book I read that I couldn't even finish it was so boring: The Memory Keeper's Daughter. Blech. Hated it. Ew.

My favorite author (aside from Tolkien) is Ursula K. LeGuin, who wrote the Earthsea cycle. She writes all kinds of stuff, but got to be known for her series of 5 books for YA fantasy (but they're really not YA): Wizard of Earthsea, Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, Tehanu, and The Other Wind. She's written so much over the span of nearly 40 years, sci-fi (Lathe of Heaven, The Dispossessed), poetry, fantasy, contemporary fiction. She's FANTASTIC. She lives in Portland, and although she's in her late 70's she still occasionally does appearances. She did a reading at Elliott Bay books in Seattle last year, and I finally went and met her and had a couple of her books autographed.

One of her lesser known and older books is The Beginning Place. Twilighters might like it. It's a contemporary setting, but the two main characters end up in the same fantasy world. It's my favorite.

What is the song playing when the credits first start rolling?

Thanks!

 

[tofubeast]

It was Radiohead's "15 step"

 

[Decorated_Dust]

Wow, so fast.... makes me nervous.

Me too. According to TVguide.com, the budget is only being raised about $20 million. They also mentioned in the article something about the movie being coveted because it was "guaranteed to make $100 million." Considering all of these factors, I'm praying they don't become lazy and just phone it in for this movie. It will already be hard to do because of a lack of Edward. New Moon was what had made me addicted to Twilight, and if they screw it up, I will be inconsolable.

BTW, tofubeast, where are you in South Florida?

That's very cool that you got a chance to meet her My DDC was reading a LeGuin. I might have to check into that, for sure.

I'm not creative or artistic but I can relate. I'm pretty happy with the norm these days (I had a much more artistic post regarding this subject but my computer crashed!).

I believe that there are phenomenon that are not known by me (but I'm not concerned lol). I remember I was told that there was no Santa and I remember watching TV shows and thinking, maybe they're lying, maybe there is one. It seemed like an awfully big hoax for the ENTIRE ADULT WORLD to go along with. LOL As I slowly came to terms with it it was a little bit depressing!

If you were alone in thinking about fantasylands then there wouldn't be such a huge market for the idea of them! You're not alone, there are TONS of people who are totally interested in the idea of the unknown.

I'm contented with the norm. For me, I am so happy being happy with the known.

On the other hand, it's fun to be in a new enviornment... that can be very mysterious and adventurous. I remember when I first moved to the Oregon coast.. it was very mysterious. Weird, wet, green, foggy... there were possibilities. Things existed that didn't exist in my old world (crowded, hot, clear blue skies). -not like anything too weird, just things were different. - Every new enviorment can be that way. It's fun. I like it.

Disney is like that, too. It takes you to another world. It's fun!

If you want to go to Forks, then have a ball. I saw some really great TR's from people who visited. They didn't find anything like a Vampire family but they did find a beautiful and unique environment that they probably NEVER would have had the opportunity to see in their lives had it not been for the great pull of the mysterious and unknown. That's reason enough to travel! You never know what you might find.

Does Stephanie Meyers read Warriors books?

The Warriors is a very popular kids book series which is about a clan of cats. (Long story short) The funny part is that here are the titles:

The New Prophecy Series
Midnight
Moonrise
Dawn
Twilight
Sunset

And in another series set by the same author: Eclipse!

Sorta fishy!

Warriors By Erin Hunter
http://www.warriorcats.com/warriorshell.html

I wonder if the title similarities have been noted by anybody and if so, would it be weird?

P.S. Goodnight!
