Buy my book! I heart Edward!

Stephenie Meyer has a new book coming out to tide the Twihards over until Eclipse comes out and she’s recommending that you buy it before seeing the movie:

“When there is so much going on off-stage so to speak, it leaves a lot of mysteries,” she says. “Of all the Twilight books, Eclipse has the most going on outside of Bella’s view. For the movie to work, we have to see and understand some of these things.”

I do see where she is coming from, and if you read the draft of Midnight Sun (Edward’s interpretation of the book Twilight) it makes his “pained” (aka “constipated”) expressions make more sense. And it’s always nice to see the scene from another point of view.

But at the same time it seems like a cash grab because if you haven’t noticed by now: Twilight sells. Big time. And it swept the MTV Movie Awards last night – so clearly people love it. So why not put out a short story and take advantage of it?

People.com says that you’ll be able to read the book novella for free at breetanner.com starting June 7th, but it’s already the 7th and I don’t see anything live, so in the meantime I’d recommend clicking the link in this side panel ———-> and buying it from Barnes & Noble. Not only do you get your fix, but you will be supporting us! Yay!

Stacey: I will not be buying or reading this book.  I don’t need to know more about Twilight.  Especially from a character’s point of view that up until this point I didn’t even know about.

But it will sell.  Because people are sheep and will buy anything that is related to these books.

Who am I to talk though?  I am pretty sure I would read anything JK Rowling would put out with regards to Harry Potter.
