 J.K. Rowling can pass the torch over to Stephenie Meyer now. Meyer's Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in her Twilight series sold 1.3 million copies on its first day of release, August 2nd. For those of you bad with math, that's A LOT of books! This past Friday night, thousands of bookstores and libraries hosted midnight parties across the country to help fuel these astounding figures. We mentioned previously that due to the overwhelming demand for the title, the publisher went back for a second printing of 500,000 copies prior to publication, to the current in-print figure of 3.7 million copies. The publisher has also confirmed the upcoming publication of The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide. |

Eh, personally, I don't like either. I think J.K. Rowling just suddenly threw in the most random of things in her books, nearing towards the end. "Dumbledore's gay!"--okay, but what does have to do with anything in the plot, how does it enhance it, etc.
Twilight is cute, but Stephanie Meyers is not a good author. There is no development in character, and I guess there's just not much substance to Bella and Edwards. |
