“What Book Got You Hooked?”– a book lovers’ campaign from First Book that will bring thousands of new books to kids in need.

Now through September 15, readers everywhere are invited to share the first book that made reading fun for them and then help get more kids hooked by voting for the state to receive 50,000 new books for low-income youth.

This is a great organization stop by and let them know what book got you hooked on reading.

**Please be sure to stop by the First Book site and tell them the book that got you hooked on reading.

On today’s Twilight Tuesday Stephenie talks about a hypothetical Breaking Dawn movie and more.

The American Library Association has a great poster featuring Rob and Kristen to encourage reading. Thanks to Kaila for the heads up.

BellaandEdward.com has a contest going where you can win a set of trading cards that were featured at Comic Con.

According to Borders, "Borders Exclusive Edward t-shirt available in top Borders stores while supplies last.  $19.99 and available in sizes Jr L,XL and Men’s L, XL, and This Borders Exclusive t-shirt features the full cast and retails for $19.99.  It is available while supplies last in JR L,XL  and men’s size L,XL  It is available in all Borders and Waldenbooks stores."

The Breaking Dawn playlist is now published on Stephenie’s website. Be warned the the music titles could loosely spoil the sequence of events in the book, so click at your own risk if you haven’t finished the book.

Stephenie mentioned during the NYC Concert Tour that Blue October has an upcoming song that appears on the playlist. Click here for video coverage (Beware again the content of the song potentially spoils in Breaking Dawn). On a personal note, you could have heard a pin drop as soon as Justing started playing.

MTV has a few videos up of spotlighting the Breaking Dawn related events that took place in NYC.  There is footage of fans on the bus from the Nokia theatre to Borders, the first two fans to purchase Breaking Dawn, as well as the panelists from the TST podcast which includes our very own Be My Escape. 

Hello everyone!

After all the festivities of last night, I hope that many of you are well into Breaking Dawn or have finished it!  Personally, I have finished it and found myself totally entertained in the process of reading.  I can’t wait to discuss it with everyone.  That being said, due to travel arrangements, family commitments, work schedules, and the desperate need to make sure that all the staff here at the Lexicon have actually finished the book and have had time to digest the over-whelming amount of information contained in those 754 pages, Pel and I have decide not to open the forums up for posting until sometime on Monday, Aug. 4. 

At that time, we will have a full forum of Breaking Dawn topics that should be considered spoilers to anyone who hasn’t finished the book.   All discussion pertaining to Breaking Dawn will be kept in that forum for at least a month to avoid the spread of spoilers to those who haven’t had a chance to get the book yet.  Along those same lines, we ask that no one change their banner, siggie, or avi to anything containing a spoiler for Breaking Dawn until Sept. 1 to ensure that everyone has time to read the book. 

We will continue to bring you updates over the next few days.  Happy reading!!
