Oenone provided the links to three videos from Stephenie’s recent Seattle Q&A  and signing.

Thanks to the tech savvy Matt (can I just say I want your equipment!) we have YouTube coverage of Stephenie and Eclipse being featured on the ABC World Weekly Report. Alphie and I both screamed out loud when we saw the Lexicon Picture featured prominently in the coverage.:

Stephenie will be doing her first official Canadian signing on November 2nd in Toronto Canada.

In Person: Stephenie Meyer
Indigo Eaton Centre, Toronto
Friday, November 2nd at 7:00 pm

Meet bestselling author Stephenie Meyer as she chats about and signs copies of her latest book, Eclipse. Proof of purchase from any Chapters, Indigo, or Coles required.

USA Today is reporting that Eclipse in it’s 10th day of release has knocked Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows off of its number one spot on the USA Today list.

Once again, we love Harry Potter and don’t wish any ill will to JK Rowling and her fans. Also, once again, no one is trying to compare the literary merit of the two books, especially since they are not in the same genre (HP=hero’s quest vs. Eclispe=romance) other than they are primarily directed to YA fantasy readers. 

On the other hand, this is quite a sales accomplishment.  It has taken other novels much longer to do this than it has Eclipse.

 Also as a reminder, please keep all comments relevant to this post. If you want to talk about other items, or ask a mod an off topic question, use our forums.

I want to make a point that this is the USA today list and not the New York Times best seller list.  We’re still waiting on the latter.

I’m currently working on uploading the latest Forks-Cast to another site. Basically there are so many people trying to access it, that is rendering the site inaccessible depending on how many people try at once.  Hopefully, I’ll solve this within the hour.

EDITED:  I think the volume issue is solved on the original link so try that link again. I’m slowly moving all our files to a new location.

Here’s another location for  Forks-Cast http://www.sendspace.com/file/lr5pwh

Alphie and I just recorded our latest Forks-Cast. For you newcomers that’s the Lexicon’s version of a podcast.

Two words of warning before you download it:

1. It’s a long cast, around an hour, so it is going to take awhile(15 mins DSL) to download.
2. The recording includes spoilers for Deathly Hallows and Eclipse, so if you haven’t read those books yet, we warned you ahead of time.

Also since we have been getting a bunch of questions,there has been some technical difficulty on Stephenie’s site and the Lexicon due to a MAJOR increase in volume on both sites. So please bear with us while we sort out the bugs. Also, just a reminder, you can help us keep our operating costs down and at the same time get really cool Edward, Jacob, and Bella inspired merchandise by shopping at the Cafepress Lexicon store. We make a small mark-up on the products, and this helps us to pay for our advertising free operating costs.

The New York Times has reviewed the entire Twilight Series so far in its Book Review section this Sunday.  This is quite a thrill as getting a NY Times Book Review nod is quite difficult for any author, let alone a YA author on her third novel.

The online book rankings haven’t changed over yet so hang in there. When they do, our personal prediction is that New Moon, Twilight (hardcover), Twilight (paperback), and Eclipse will all be on the list each in their respective sub-categories on the children’s list.

Tenemos noticias para los aficcionados del mundo latinoamé|ricano.  ¡Eclipse Latinoaméricana está abierta! 

OK, for those of you who don’t speak Spanish, we are announcing that the Latinamerican (AKA Spanish version of the Lexicon that is Spanish speaking North/South America based) is now open for business.

Edited: Lo siento por "el typo" lo arreglè

If you are planning on attending an Eclipse book signing, make sure to visit the calendar page on Stephenie’s website. There have been some minor changes in times and locations. Some have even shifted to an Eclipse Prom theme (I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to manage that one in the middle of the work week!).

So make sure that you check it out. We wouldn’t want anyone to go to the wrong place.
