Drum roll please…

I was just informed by our dear author that New Moon has hit number one on the New York Times best seller list for children’s books(YA is lumped in with kids)!  WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!  Way to go everyone who bought a copy!  Stephenie said in her e-mail to be sure to say thank you to all of her fans.  It is because of all of you that she has been able to do this! 

WAY TO GO!!!

Stephenie has posted the New Moon playlist on her website.

Join in the discussion on our message boards about chapter 17, The Game.

I am currently working on some issues with the server that the Lexicon is hosted on, and as a result you might see some quirky behavior with the site for the next 12 hours as the DNS Zone Files (for those technicaly minded) update.  I don’t expect that there will be any issues, but if anything "goes wierd" please e-mail me rather than the lexicon e-mail address.

Thanks, Darksied9

Anyone who preordered New Moon on Amazon, and selected the two day shipping option, has gotten confirmations that the book is currently shipping and scheduled to arrive at their homes on Friday, August 11, 2006.

The Lexicon will create a New Moon discussion forum that will be unlocked next week. If you chose to go into that forum, you accept the fact that you will see spoilers. So, don’t go in there when it unlocks if you haven’t finished the book and don’t want to be spoiled. New Moon info will be restricted to that forum only! Nothing will be allowed in other areas (such as the character discussion forums) until the end of August at the earliest. This way, we are giving people a reasonable amount of time to acquire and read the book.

Also, keep a lookout for the book coming to your local bookstore. If you see New Moon in a bookstore please say so on a thread we are creating in the Aston Martin forum. We are trying to track store availability.

Stephenie is back from her summer vacations and has updated her website with the tale of her wanderings.

I’ve noticed that several of you have been wondering exactly when New Moon will be in your bookstore.  To be honest with you…I can’t give you a perfect answer, but I can tell you what I know and hope that your mind will be put at ease.

New Moon, unlike Harry Potter, does not have one official release date nation wide.  It was set to be in stores in October, but that date has slowly worked its way up to August.  The last date I heard was sometime around the 18th, but who knows.  I looked around in a few book stores today and didn’t see it yet, but it’s my guess that any time now you just might find it on a shelf in your local store.  Stephenie made mention in a phone call that several stores will have one of those really cool cut out stands announcing it’s release.  They have these for Harry Potter and other big releases, and they usually sit right in the front of the store where everyone can see them when they walk in.  So keep your eyes open for the stands!  That’s all we know at this point in time.  When you see the book in your local area, feel free to leave me a heads up so I can alert the masses where they can buy it.
