This week we have for you:

Thank you ladies for your hard work on these chapters!  I look forward to reading everyones thoughts and theories about the information given in these great sections.

*Tune in next Friday for Chapters 12 & 13.

Its day 3 of our count down till the release of the first chapter of Breaking dawn in the Special Edition of Eclipse.  Today we are featuring a theory from our Breaking Dawn Theories thread by:

Conzoni al Vento

So, are the Volturi going to find out about the existence of those wolves? I think they should, but it will be very complicated since they don’t honor truces with wolves.

What do you think Twilight fans?

While on the set of the film Twilight in Portland, Oregon.  Solomon Trimble (cast as Sam Uley) treated us with a poem he had written – inspired by the love Sam has for his fiance, Emily Young. 

‘Honey Rose’ by Solomon Trimble

A special thank you to Solomon for sharing this amazing poem with us.  He is beyond talented and we wish him all the best in his career to come.

To discuss Solomon’s casting in the film visit our message boards.

Its day 2 of our count down till the release of the first chapter of Breaking dawn in the Special Edition of Eclipse.  Today we are featuring a theory from our Breaking Dawn Theories thread by:

Lalaith913: 

I’m wondering if more is going to happen at the beach. It just keeps coming back, you know? Like, maybe that final confrontation (if there is one, even though we kind of assume there will be) will happen there.

 So what to you think Twilight fans…does the beach hold significance as a location? Will it be the scene of something important in Breaking Dawn? And if so…what will happen there?

What other settings do you see as signicant to the story?

Edit:  We are aware that some copies of the Special Edition of Eclipse were shipped to book stores early.  To our knowledge none of these copies has been sold, however there have been some book store employees who have been posting information about the book online.  Doing this is ILLEGAL.  We again would like to remind everyone of our spoiler policy on this site.  When the books officially go on sale, you can count on us to have full coverage as well as a new forum for all Breaking Dawn discussion.  But until then, please do not post spoilers on the Lexicon.

Oregon Live offers a brief report on Stephenie’s Portland signing last night.

And USA Today offers comentary on the results of The Hosts incredible release.

105.1 The Buzz in Portland, OR is currently hosting Stephenie on their live radio broadcast.  Yes – that means now!  She will be talking about songs from her playlist and what they mean to her books.  Out of towners can listen to the broadcast on line by visiting 1051 The Buzz website.  (This is the same radio station that announced Billy Burk’s casting in the movie Twilight.)

Edit:  Angellove was awesome enough to grab the song list Stephenie chose for the segment:

Full Playlist

1. Starlight-Muse

2. Original of the Species-U2

3. Soul Meets Body- Death Cab For Cutie

4. Into The Ocean-Blue October

5. Here it Goes Again-Ok Go!

Here’s a video of all the great Host related t-shirts we saw while Pel and I were in SLC.  We saw thousands of Twilight shirts, and as great as some of them were, we only stopped and took pictures of the ones that pertained to The Host.  It seems that "Gone Native", silvery worm like bugs, and anything pertaining to Ian were the most popular items to put on shirts this time around. 

Also, at the end of the vid is our tribute to the SLTA who hosted us.  Ladies – you rock! 

Many thanks all around to the fans in Salt Lake City for coming through with great spirit, great questions, and lots of fun!

With just 10 days till the release of Breaking Dawn Chapter One.  We are going to celebrate by counting down the days with a theory pulled from our very own Breaking Dawn Theories thread and post up here for discussion.  First up we have a theory from:

Sweetness1901

I think the Denali clan will take revenge on the Werewolves.

Tell us what you think about this possibility!

The Las Vegas Review talks about The Host, and Stephenie’s distinctive style.

The LA times talks about the need for more female directors and our very own Catherine Hardwicke is featured along with a screen capture you will recognize from the Comic Con piece we all loved.

Jed from The Movie Fanatic wonders if the American Idol winner would be accepted by the fans as a contributer to the Twilight Soundtrack.  (This is just a discussion, there is no inside information here.)  So will it be David or David?

The Twilight Guy posted another installment on his journey through the series.  Click to read his thoughts on chapter 9.

And finally xojonasbrothersxo on youtube has posted not one, but two Q&A sessions Taylor Lautner did recently at a film festival where he was named 2008’s rising star.  Click here and here to see the videos, and be sure to thank her for the awesome videos in the comments there!

Signing Recap by the wonderful evermoreimmortal:

I got in line at around four, and there were already around forty people. It was around seventy degrees outside, and the doors didn’t open for two hours. It was in the middle of the courtyard with no shade, and everyone was boiling hot. I took pictures of people’s cool shirts and read my books while waiting. The doors opened at six and everyone went in. I was ticket number 55, but someone near me was in the 700’s. We got seats in the front and waited for an hour. She came out at seven after an intro from the tattered cover people, and answered questions. One of them was mine! I videotaped it and afterwards she signed books. I got home relatively early, and all in all it was great.

Questions (These are as close to word for word as I can get them, so I’m sorry if they aren’t perfect!)
