sparrow 1,451 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 It's the newborn vampire noted in Eclipse. You can read it for free, online, until July 5th: http://breetannerbook.libredigital.com/index.html I'm in the middle of a good book now and have another I want to get to, but I'm tempted to start reading this :001_smile:.

fivetails 68 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 We have it - I haven't read it yet though, as dd13 wanted it first. She gave it to me yesterday, having finished it...so it's my turn. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EarleneW 13 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I just ordered it- and I wish it woulld hurry and get here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cadam 865 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I love Twilight but I am afraid this is just going to be depressing. We already know how it ends and the beginning can't be good so...... I don't know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vettechmomof2 48 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I just read it, thanks for posting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just Robyn 5,049 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I was planning on reading it as soon as it came out and it must have slipped my mind. Thanks for the link! I'll read this at work tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mom in High Heels 5,799 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I can't wait! I wish she would finish writing Midnight Sun. If you don't know, it's Twilight from Edward's POV. She was apparently writing it and it got leaked on the internet, so she quit. She went ahead and posted the first 12 chapters though on her website. It's soooo much better than Twilight. Of course that could be because it's all Edward all the time and none of the whining Bella. :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping that this little foray back to Twilight with the Bree thing might mean that she was working on MNS but we will just have to keep crossing our fingers. I really want that book. I will pay big money for MNS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KristyND 10 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I wasn't going to read it, knowing the way it had to end. But I caved and read it, and got totally invested in Bree- I really wish Carlisle (sp?) hadn't caught her! I did enjoy what/how she communicated to Edward. I also really with she'd finish midnight sun, the other character spin offs she has mentioned would be interesting, but nothing could come close to a completely MNS!!

sparrow 1,451 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Aw, geez. I started reading it, too. I'd be all about buying Midnight Sun, if she'd put it out! Silly woman would make tons of $$ if she published it. I suppose she's holding it back on principle, but I'd really like a copy :D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenL 117 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'm reading it! I'm about 3/4 of the way through, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm sure I'll end up purchasing it so it can go with my "set" of black covers with red and white images. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allearia 403 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I read it, and enjoyed it. I would pay any amount for Midnight Sun though, she had better be working on that. I need to restrain myself from going and reading the part of Midnight Sun I have right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad it's not; I want that book! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KristyND 10 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 If it was about money she would have written it long ago. Too bad it's not; I want that book! Yep, its a temper tantrum, she has millions of fans that want to read the book, write it already! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cadam 865 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Yep, its a temper tantrum, she has millions of fans that want to read the book, write it already! I understand being upset about it, it's a huge deal to have your work stolen but this is a little out of hand. I bet it is already written because she wanted it for herself, but she isn't releasing it yet. I remember reading that she started writing it because she wanted to "hear" his side of things. THat's why I think it is already done now or at least in a draft form. I know it's hers and she doesn't have to release everything she writes but so many people really want this! My guess is that it will be a surprise publicity thing where it gets release when the last movie comes out or in some special boxed set. Really, her publisher would be smart to delay such and thing just because of people like us who will fork over a lot more money for MNS than we did for Twilight in the first place. This theory keeps me hopeful. I just finished Bree Tanner and I am sorry she didn't live. She was interesting and I think she could have made a life with that other guy.

Mom in High Heels 5,799 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Huzzah! More MNS lovers! Am I right? It is better than Twilight. And sure I could be biased (if you read my blog you'd know how much Edward means to me) because it is from his POV and yes, I would give anything to be in his head (and maybe have him bite a few pillows with me-I'm just sayin), but I really think it's better developed than Twilight. I'm so hoping that the pp is right and it will be released in a special edition when the last movie comes out. I would geek myself out with a Team Edward shirt, run to my local books store and beat down all the screaming teenage girls to get my copy. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harriet Vane 9,350 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yep, its a temper tantrum, she has millions of fans that want to read the book, write it already! You know, this is really unfair to the author. I worked in publishing for seven years and have known many, many authors. A theft of this nature is a massive violation and deeply upsetting. Calling it a "temper tantrum" makes it sound petty--it really, truly is not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SproutMamaK 5,143 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 For some reason I thought she'd posted (quite some time after the initial leak) that she did intend to finish it and publish it, but that she would take her time to heal from the violation so she could get back into the right mindset first.

The most current blog entry on her MNS page says that it is on hold indefinitely. I kind of figured she needed a break from the Twilight world but it seems like with the Bree Tanner book she is getting back into it a bit and so I am hopeful that she has had enough of a break that she can go back to MNS refreshed and with new eyes.

Mom in High Heels 5,799 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I just finished reading Bree's story. It was actually really good. I have to tell you as much as I love the Twilight series story, I hate Stephanie's writing. I don't think she's good at it technically. Bree's story was better written IMO than the other books. I'm sad that Bree dies after reading her story. I quite liked her. If only she could have joined the Cullen's like Carlisle offered. Stupid Volturi. SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ BREE'S STORY STOP RIGHT NOW TURN BACK YOU'VE BEEN WARNED SPOILER ALERT Does anyone remember if Fred shows up in Breaking Dawn? There were so many vampires, but I don't remember him. Now I'm curious to know what happened to Fred and how things played out for him. Of course if she would publish MNS I wouldn't care any more. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KristyND 10 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I would geek myself out with a Team Edward shirt, run to my local books store and beat down all the screaming teenage girls to get my copy. :D I've read this three times and I'm still laughing :D My "temper tantrum" comment was a flippant one, not serious. I'm sure having someone close to you leak something like that would be a very painful betrayal, but from a fan standpoint, I stick with it feels like a childs temper tantrum. I truly hope that after BD 1/2 is released and the current furor dies down that she releases a finished MNS. I agree, the story IS better from his POV, a much fuller story. I would personally buy the entire set over again in hardcover if that is how MNS is released :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remembered what she said, in some interview last winter - that she was planning to finish it,but she wanted to wait until people had forgotten about it. She said something along the lines of "I want people to stop buzzing about it. Once it falls of the radar and people aren't asking anymore, then I can refocus on it. I want a good two years of quiet about Midnight Sun, and then I'll pick up writing it again and surprise everyone." Two years of quiet? um..... I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon. So please, let's stop talking about it to help out! :lol: To a PP - no, Fred did not appear in Breaking Dawn. Although if he did, would anyone have noticed him anyways? :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
