-Thanks Jenny, who is featured in the video, for the tip!-

Sorry if I am interrupting anyone’s reading time, but I just have a few items:

If you missed Stephenie on CBS Sunday Morning, click here to read the story. Also, several people have asked about the sales of Breaking Dawn. Here is a quote from an article posted yesterday on USAToday.com: “The Hachette Book Group estimates 1.3 million copies were sold on Saturday after being released at 12:01 a.m. It was its largest first-day sales record. In anticipation of demand, an additional 500,000 copies were printed before publication, bringing the total to 3.7 million.” For those of us who have been fans of the Twilight Saga since the beginning, it is incredible to ponder how quickly the popularity has increased. I think it is awesome that so many people are now able to participate in the world of Twilight.

Anyway… a few people have sent me pictures from their Breaking Dawn Release Parties, and I decided that it was a pretty good idea to start a page similar to the Eclipse Prom page. So, send your favorite BD release party pictures to bdparties@gmail.com by about noon this Saturday (August 9th), and I will post a few of the best ones on the site for everyone to enjoy.

And, as many of you have requested, I have added the playlist.com player to the Breaking Dawn Playlist. Enjoy!

See it here, of course!

[Everyone who sent me pictures, I'm going to send them to the email above.]

We’ve upload pictures from the release party I went to to the gallery [the toes and hand painted red, white and black are mine!].

Have pictures from your own party? Send them to gretchen@twilighters.org and I’ll add them to the gallery.

See the pictures here!

Surprisingly, we arent that far behind. Hard to believe, no?

Mtv has an article about the release of BD. It has 3 different videos! ‘Twilight’ Mania Kicks Into Full Gear In NYC With The Release Of ‘Breaking Dawn’.

New Mtv Blog. ‘Breaking Dawn’ Midnight Madness Hits Bookstores Everywhere, and We Were There.

Not much else is really new. Here’s a recap of what’s been reported since the release.

Stephenie has posted her Breaking Dawn Playlist, categorized by Book.

Stephenie has a new myspace blog. And while she has removed the final quote from her myspace, its still on her site.

Here’s Mtv’s blog about the Breaking Dawn concert.

Also, if you havent read them already, go read Seth’s most recent posts. He’s got info on the concert series.

Mtv has a new blog- MTV’s Kim Stoltz on Interviewing Stephenie Meyer Before She Moderates Tonight’s ‘Twilight’ Event.

Check back soon to watch Kim’s interview with Stephenie Meyer, and to hear more from tonight’s “Twilight” concert series event which she is moderating!

Seth has posted on Stephenie’s site.

If you are still looking for something to pass the remaining hours that we have left to wait, here is the link to the USA Today article that I mentioned yesterday. Also, click here to read a recent article about Stephenie in Variety magazine.

For those fans in the UK that are looking for Breaking Dawn release day events, click here to go to the UK publisher site. And, as a reminder, you can find US events by going to TheTwilightSaga.com’s event locator. For those of you planning to attend midnight parties, I would like to remind you that trying to read the book while driving home is not considered safe driving. My recommendation is to leave Breaking Dawn in the bag until you get home. Have a fun and safe night.

And finally, speaking of Friday night, we have a little more information about where to view the streaming video presentation of the Breaking Dawn concert series event in New York City. We have already discussed that it will be shown at iClips.net, but now you will also be able to view the event at EW.com (I will post the link as soon as I get it).
