Our charity of the month is First Book and The American Red Cross~

We TwilightMOMS know the power of books! For some of us, Twilight rekindled our love for reading and for the more avid readers, it was a bright star in our galaxy. Sadly, there are still so many more who miss out on this magic simply because the love for reading was never sparked in early childhood.

During this hurricane season we would also like to draw your attention to the relief effort of The American Red Cross. 

Find out about First Book and The American Red Cross HERE.

EW has an update to an article (here) originally released on August 29th:

“Twilighters, never fear. We want to clear up one crucial fact: Rob Pattinson’s music will in fact appear in Twilight. According to director Catherine Hardwicke, two of Pattinson’s songs that he wrote before Twilightstarted filming are going to be featured in the movie. In fact, they recorded them this month. And while Hardwicke wanted Pattinson to write Bella’s Lullaby for the film, Hardwicke says Pattinson’s music is very personal. “I don’t think he does it on request,” she writes in an e-mail. “His two songs are pretty great.”

Seeing our favorite book, Twilight, brought to life, Robert playing the piano, 2 songs written by Robert….what more can we ask for?

EW also has posted (here) a disclaimer from Little, Brown Books about the Midnight Sun leak:

“A partial draft containing chapters of Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer has been leaked on the Internet without the knowledge or permission of either Stephenie Meyer or Little, Brown. Although these early chapters were never intended to be published in their current form, Stephenie Meyer has decided to authorize the posting of these rough, initial chapters on her website (www.stepheniemeyer.com) in fairness to her true, loyal fans. While no decisions have been made at this time regarding the publication of Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer is currently at work on other writing projects.  Little, Brown looks forward to our continued publishing relationship with Stephenie Meyer and, like her many fans, we are eager to experience her next literary creation.”

We can’t wait to read your next project, Stephenie, whatever it might be! We love & support you!
