Stephine Meyer rocks 2008!

Stephenie Meyer you rock! USA Today has posted a new article that goes a little somthing like this:

"Stephenie Meyer sold more books in 2008 than any other author (22 million, according to her publisher) and did what no else — not even J.K. Rowling — has done in the 15 years of USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list: She swept the four top slots in 2008's best sellers with her Twilight series about a romance between a girl (mortal) and boy (vampire).

In a year when publishers and booksellers struggled with a dismal economy, Meyer carried the holidays, accounting for about one in every five books sold since Thanksgiving. Her dominance has continued this year.

"Rowling's achievement over seven (Harry Potter) books remains singular — for now," says Michael Cader, founder of Publishers Lunch, a daily e-newsletter. "But Meyer had an astounding year and played as important a role for retailers."

Well if this doesn't prove that SM is one of the greatest people alive I dont know what does!?! She brought us Edward Cullen! The man that still dazzles even when the economy is is like Forks, grey and dreary :D

Taylor is still Jacob

Now just in case you didn't already know Taylor Lautner has been officially confirmed as Jacob Black in New moon! I'm really happy about this, I must admit when I first heard he was cast to play Jacob Black in Twilight I was quite angry but that little (well not really that little I hope ;)) won me over and now Im actually really happy for him and even signed the petition to have him back...

But here's the official letter from Chris Weitz New Moons director, this was posted on Stephenie Meyers web page

"I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.very best

Chris Weitz"

So excited for this film now!
