Epona attended the informal signing in Dublin today.

What can I say!!!! Absolutely amazing!!! We all got autographs and pictures with SM. There was a large enough crowd but still everyone got to chat with her and her publisist Elizabeth (lovely lady). There were some great ideas – two girls infront of me designed a cd but also these amazing looking bookmarks – which SM seemed to love. Fairness to SM she did amazing job at keeping upbeat and lovely to everyone considering the amount of time she was there and signing. She’ll be away tomorrow now back to the States to be with her family.

I can’t believe i talked to her, I’d say she thought I was a motor mouth but I couldn’t stop babbling and then of course I dropped Eclipse on her foot!! She was kind enough to hold it for me for the photo though ( I think she might have thought I was a bit mad)  and she said that she liked my muse tshirt.

Seriously everything was great – and everyone got their signing done. There was no Q&A or anything but there was a real ‘personal’ feel and we all got our photo oportunities and to chat to her for little while one on one.  I felt sorry for SM though, she was looking tired near the end – not that I could blame her with the amount of books each person brought (myself included). She was amazing!! and very kind and patient!

The Twilight Saga (meaning three books) has just knocked Harry Potter (meaning seven books) off the number one perch on the New York Times Bestseller list. No book other than Twilight has managed to do this so quickly.

Again, we mean no disrespect to JK Rowling and her series (Frankly we think you can enjoy both series,it’s not an either/or type of deal.), but this is quite an accomplishment.

The Canadian signing on November has had a location change.

You put your signing in, you put your signing out…with apologies to whomever invented the Hokey Pokey I couldn’t resist. Anyway, the Ireland signing is back on. Strings were pulled, arms were twisted and at the request of Stephenie’s publicist the message is, "Can you please let people know that Stephenie will be doing an informal book signing on Friday, October 12^th in the early afternoon in Dublin .  I will have store details tomorrow."

I just heard from Stephenie’s publicist and the originally planned Ireland signing fell through. I wanted to get the word out ASAP in case their was anyone who would then choose to travel to the UK.

Also, in regards to movie scripts, casting calls, etc. We have nothing to suggest that at this time there will be an open "cattle call" (meaning everyone and his/her best friend with no experience, union affiliation, or agent) for the Twilight movie.  If we have anything that will suggest such an opportunity, we will shout it from the roof tops. As of right now, however, we have nothing credible and official.

In regards to script side that may be floating out there, I have this quote from an inside source, "And in terms of the movie script, it isn’t done yet so people are buying something fake (or the old script that isn’t being used)."

This just in on Teen Reads Week (thanks to Cullengirl for the heads up!)

Voting opens during Teen Read Week, October 14-20, 2007. We want to know which titles you think deserve the title of Teens Top 10. Twenty-five titles have been nominated by teens just like you as the best reads of 2006-2007. Read as many of the titles as you can before October 14, 2007. Teens should visit here to place their vote anytime during Teen Read Week. We look forward to seeing which books YOU think are the best of the best.

In the 2005-2006 Teen Read Week, Twilight finished second to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.  Let’s make New Moon number 1 for 2006-2007!

Also just in from Cullengirl, Twilight is up for an award in Illinois:

"I wanted to give you a heads up that Twilight is up for an award in IL. The book has been nominated for the Abraham Lincoln Award in IL. Abraham Lincoln Award is an annual award that is given to a book which has been voted outstanding by high school students in IL. Students just have to fill out a simple form in their school libraries who participate the Abraham Lincoln Award program."

According to Stephenie’s website the director of Twilight recently visited Forks to scout locations for the film. There were articles written about the visit in the Forks Forum and the Peninsula Daily News.

The movie and Stephenie also appear on the Internet Movie Database. Those with the professional version of the site can see a bit more including a rumor that Emily Browning is up for the part of Bella. Keep in mind just a rumor, there are many instances of these rumors not being founded. A recent example would be that Ralph Fines and Eowan MCGreggor were to have played Sirius Black and Remus Lupin in the Prisoner of Azkaban. Info on the IMDB on any film, especially a film in the development stage, is highly subject to change.

We have no supporting evidence yet that there is a casting notice out yet from Summit Films, but we have heard rumor. We are trying to get details and we will report facts as soon as we have them. We don’t want to feed the rumor mill here. As soon as we have what we consider accurate, reliable information on casting and filming we will post it.

I just went through and either edited or deleted a whole bunch of comments. There is an entire forum for casting lists and discussions on the message boards. Please use it instead of this page.

Thanks again to the extremely cool and talented Matt for coming to our video rescue! Here is the footage of Stephenie at the signing at the Fairless Hills Mall, PA and other info.

According to her blog, Stephenie met Muse. There are pictures with her next to lead singer Matthew Bellamy.

For those of you who have not heard, Stephenie is a major Muse fan. Their music often appears on her playlists for the novels. In fact, they’ve even gotten into the novel. At a recent signing a fan asked, "What concert did Alice get Edward and Bella tickets to?"  Stephenie’s answer was, "Muse, of course!"
