Midnight Sun Drive-In and Virtual Book Tour Update

July 20, 2020

Stephenie updated the information on her book tour for Midnight Sun. With all the social distancing rules changing moment by moment, this may change again in the next few weeks.  But as of July 20, here is what we know from Stephenie…

On Friday, August 7th I’ll be at the Skyline Drive-in Theatre in Shelton, WA with Ballast Book Company for a socially distanced, in-person Q&A followed by a screening of the Twilight film. *If all goes as planned, you’ll be able to ask me questions from your car and we can share some safe and masked fun.  Visit the Ballast Book Company site for details.  

On Saturday, August 8th the amazing bookstore, An Unlikely Story, will be hosting a Drive-in event with the Rustic Drive-In Theatre in North Smithfield, Rhode Island. I really wanted to be there in person, but travel restrictions are keeping me from attending. However, I will be there with you virtually and you’ll be able to ask all your Midnight Sun questions in real time via Instagram Live, and then watch the movie. Make sure you have Instagram on your phones! Visit the Unlikely Story website for details. 

There are also two virtual events hosted by Books a Million and Barnes and Nobel.

Midnight Sun Sneak Peek and a Note

June 3, 2020

As promised, Stephenie Meyer has released a Midnight Sun sneak peek today at StephenieMeyer.com.

“From now until the Midnight Sun release on August 4th, every Tuesday and Friday we’ll be posting a quote from the book. And today, the 17th anniversary of the day I started writing Twilight, we’ll post the first. Enjoy. Be safe, stay healthy, and enjoy.”

She also shared several website links that focus on racial injustice and how you can help. While we enjoy this peek at Midnight Sun, let’s not ignore what’s going on in the world around us. We can and must do better to make change happen. Here are the links Stephenie shared today. 

“We can affect change in our homes and our communities. If you are looking for resources on education, advocacy, places to donate, or ways to help, please check out some of the links below. It’s a place to start.

The Obama Foundation is a wonderful resource for education on police violence and antiracism, ways to take action, and information on organizations that encourage reform.

The Cut has a very informative article called How to Support the Struggle Against Police Brutality. It details helpful ways to safely support protests right now.

Vote.org allows you to check your registration status, register to vote, and request absentee ballots. It also provides election Covid-19 information and a handy election protection guide.”

Stephenie Meyer’s Letter to Fans

May 29, 2020

Stephenie Meyer has updated her website with a letter to her fans and a bit of a teaser!

Stephenie writes, “These are tip-in pages, which will be bound into new copies of Midnight Sun, and I just signed sixteen thousand of them. I hope you’re able to get a copy. Barnes and Noble has sold out, but there should still be some available at Books-A-Million. As more become available from other venders, we’ll update you here.

Thanks again for being awesome, and check back here on June 2nd for the first little breadcrumb of fun leading up to the release on August 4th. “

This confirms for everyone that if you order a signed copy from Books a Million or Barnes and Noble that it will be a true signature and not a stamp. The page will be added to the finished book after it goes to print. 

So… what do you think the breadcrumb of fun she is hinting at could be? Leave us a comment with you ideas!

Pre-Order a Signed Copy of Midnight Sun!

May 17, 2020

Midnight Sun CoverBarnes and Noble is allowing fans to pre-order a signed hard back copy of Midnight Sun. The book with Stephenie’s signature inside is selling for $27.99 plus shipping and handling. They offer a regular version of the book for $19.99 plus shipping and handling.  Follow this link to pre-order your copy today!

Comparatively, Amazon is running their pro-order for the hardback book at $17.45 where Prime members wouldn’t pay shipping.  

Books A Million is selling the book at $18.19 plus shipping and handling. 

Target’s pre-order is listed at $22.39 plus shipping and handling.

Barnes and Noble, Target, and Books A Million do allow for in store pick up in some locations, which would save you on shipping. So if you are looking for the least expensive way to order Midnight Sun, do it through Amazon. Of course, you might have to wait a day for it to actually arrive at your house. If you want the least expensive way to get the book in your hands as fast as possible, Books A Million with in store pick up is the way to go.  But if you want the signature, at this point in time, the only place to get it is through Barnes and Noble.  

As an FYI – In the past, Stephenie has done a few book signings for a book release usually in New York and LA as well as two or three other locations.  Admission to these events usually requires you to purchase a book from which ever book seller is sponsoring the event.  With the pandemic and so many places with stay-at-home orders, we have no idea if this is going to be possible. If you absolutely want a signed copy, (and who doesn’t???) I would order from Barnes and Noble because there is no promise that she will do book signings in person. 

Also, we’re heard from a few of you that international orders are being blocked because of the pandemic. We will let you know if this changes or if signed copies are available outside of the United States. 

Thanks to @Twilightersdrm for the heads up!
