The New York Times has an article on Twilight.
AS the legions of teenagers who have read the novel on which the forthcoming film “Twilight” is based know, the awkward passage from youth to maturity isn’t the very worst problem an adolescent can have. You could fall helplessly in love with a vampire, which is what happens to the virginal 17-year-old heroine and narrator of Stephenie Meyer’s book.
Read it all here!
The Twilight Saga Official Guide which was scheduled to release on December 30th is no longer being released on that day, but a later date in 2009. This was done because they want to make it as good as possible and they need more time to get everything in there.
You can read the announcment at TheTwilightSaga.com here.
The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, which was scheduled to release on December 30th, is being moved to 2009. A new on-sale date will be announced as soon as possible. As the only official guide about the Twilight Saga, we want to make this edition as special as possible. We are including more of the exclusive material that you all have been asking for over the past several months, which will require additional time.
To make us feel better they have released the cover for the guide which you can see to the left!
*Thanks to Jasmine & Shelbi (=]) for the heads up!
