Thanks debbie-dub, as always, for getting most of this together!
The School Library Journal has an article on Twilight that addresses the educational benefits of the book series, the literary influences and how Twilight could be included in a class syllabus. (Where do I sign up for that class?!) Read it here.
The Roanoke Times (VA) has an article about Twilight teens awaiting the release of Breaking Dawn. They even mention TwilightMOMS who love the series, too. Read it here.
She Knows asks “How much do you think you know about Twilight?” They have a list of trivia questions, by book, with the answers on page 2. Bring the trivia questions to your Breaking Dawn party and try to stump your friends. Get the trivia here.
Arrow in the Head has a brief article about Twilight posters of Robert and Kristen here;. They also have a video interview here from Comic-Con with Taylor Lautner and Catherine, and Stephenie.
The Peninsula Daily News has an article that is sure to make you hungry. Bella Burgers, Ed’s Bread, and Swan Salad are a few of the culinary treats being offered at Forks and Port Angeles, WA, eateries these days. For a list of Twilight inspired menus and fare, eat it up here. They also have a detailed list of Forks and Port Angeles are Breaking Dawn release parties here.
The Standard Examiner has articles here and here! Thanks for these InLustWithEC!
The Northwest Herald in Illinois has this article here titled “Darkest before ‘Dawn’: Teenage vampire love story will debut to hungry fans.” Thanks for the heads up Bluestem!
We thought we got this blogged already, but even if we did, it’s worth a second look… Normal Mormon Husbands Breaking Dawn spoofs can be really funny! We read this one here first, but there is more to discover over there! Thanks Dayrey79 for reminding us about Normal Mormon Husband!
And now, some very bad news. Breaking Dawn’s Kindle release date has been pushed back a full day- to August 3rd. For Kindle users (even Stephenie’s a user- she recently mentioned using her Kindle in People magazine’s July 25th issue- see blog post here), it’s an outrage! Here’s a quote from TwilightMOM kempette expressing her concerns:
“Much to my dismay the release for BD on amazon’s Kindle (e-book) has been pushed back a full 24 hours from the main release of the book- until Midnight on Aug THIRD! If I had the guts I’d PM Elizabeth to ask her what the deal is, but since it’s a publisher decision I’m sure she can’t help. I’ve sent an email to Little Brown, asking them to reconsider & I encourage everyone else who reads Steph’s books on Kindle to do the same. After all, Steph is a Kindle reader too!!!! My impression is that this is all a ploy to get more of us to buy more “tree books” in our impatience instead of holding out for our beloved Kindle copies. anyway, a link to the original blog posting is at:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/A1F8Z0JAEIDVRY/ref=cm_blog_openThe customer service email link for Little Brown/Hachette is:
http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/customer_contact-us.aspx
Have fun at those release parties!”
Not that this is the best time to advertise the Kindle, but I’m saving up for one… You can buy it here at Amazon. Or just read about it and you’ll be drooling over it like I am.
No time to double-check, so if this is a duplicate… whoops! Variety published this blog here about the “Hunks of Comic-Con.” You can thank Jenbarn76 for that reminder.
Empire Magazine in the UK posted this video of Twilight at Comic-Con here. Thanks to ferrarimum for reminding us to post the link.
Twilightgeek sent us this note and we asked if we could share it with you all:
I can’t believe that Rachelle mentioned my buttons on the MTV chat thing!! And in one of the videos, Catherine is wearing the button she picked from me!! I am just so tickled pink and I am bouncing off the ceiling!! I just wanted to share, because, of course, they couldn’t name the “girl” who gave them the buttons! But it was me!! Hee-hee-hee!!!! Can you tell I’m a bit psyched?!
Isn’t she cute? Both Rachelle AND our own Twilightgeek. We’re all tickled pink and a little bit psyched for you, too!
The Kansas City Star published an article here titled “Fans of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga plan to stay up and wait for the Dawn.” Yep, we sure are! Thanks to TM BeautifulDisaster for that bit of news.

This week’s Twilight Tuesday gives us a great wrap up of MTV’s experience at Comic-Con. Larry “Made of Awesome” gives us The 10 Things Comic-Con Taught Us about Twilight. The list includes things like “We Believe in Spunk Ransom and Tonight, We Dine in Forks!” Check it out here.
There is a great video of interviews with some of the cast before and after the panel in Hall H. I wonder if they will ever recover 
The folks at MTV want to know what you’d ask a star of Twilight if they were standing right next to you. They are asking for questions to be submitted here. They are looking for questions with a little more depth than normal so put on your thinking caps and then head on over and let them know what questions you have for the cast.

Entertainment Weekly continues to spoil us with their Twilight coverage. Stephenie Meyer and Catherine Hardwicke sat down with them while at Comic-Con. Check out this great interview here.Monday, July 28th, 2008
After you read the Exclusive EW Spoiler posted below, check out this fabulous portrait of Twilight Director, Catherine Hardwicke, Stephenie Meyer and Kristen Stewart by James Dimmock in EW’s Comic-Con 2008: 32 Star Portraits by clicking on the thumbnail below or here.
Thanks Entertainment Weekly, for all the great coverage lately of Stephenie Meyer’s work! The video interviews, the pictures, the magazine cover…
Oh, that reminds us! We’ve gotten lots of questions about where you can buy the supposedly sold-out copy of Entertainment Weekly with Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart on the cover and the two articles about Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight Movie. Other than eBay, and our Growing Gift Basket Drawing this Friday (enter here), the only tip we’ve gotten is this EW subscription offer here. It’s a valid EW link- promoting their standard offer to try “four preview issues free” and then you’re automatically billed unless you cancel- but the offer through this link claims you get the Twilight Saga Issue Free. We tried to verify the offer, but got mixed answers from reliable sources- some claim the offer is current, another says it’s outdated and the link is just being circulated. The offer says your first issue will arrive in 1 to 3 weeks, so if anyone uses this link AND receives the Twilight Saga Issue, let us know! It doesn’t hurt to try. . . and there’s an Exclusive EW Advance Screening Program you’re automatically enrolled in after you pay for the subscription…

Elizabeth Snead, of the Los Angeles Times, asks “Could Rob Pattinson be the New Beatles?” Read this The Dish Rag article here for her commentary on the reaction of fans to Rob’s appearance at Comic-Con. If you missed it in our Comic-Con wrap-up (which is still wrapping up…) the LA Times published a great interview with Robert that asks about the Entertainment Weekly cover, Midnight Sun, and how he became Edward. Read it here.Saturday, July 26th, 2008

If you want your pictures or a recap posted, please PM them to the general Admin account here at this link (see original announcement)! Please do not PM or email the Administrators individual accounts as we’re all in & out during the forum lockdown! We’re asking for Private Messages so it’s all formatted and ready to go- just like if you wee able to post it yourself. Then all we have to do is “Quote & Post” and it will have your TM username on it!
We apologize to all of you who’ve sent emails with your reports but, well, you really don’t want us to write them up to post anyway even if we had the time… and we can’t easily match up usernames with emails … and… well…. just please help us out if you want to share on the TM Forums with other TwilightMOMS.
We keep hearing from many TMs who weren’t at Comic-Con who love hearing the insider reports from those of you who were lucky enough to go, so we’re doing our best to get them out there during the lockdown!
*Hugs* to everyone for sharing!
