Indigo has issued a press release stating their figures indicate that this 年 Stephenie Meyers' Twilight series did もっと見る sales than J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series did last year, which included the final Potter book. Good timing for Twilight, of course, as the movie opens tomorrow. Haven't read the books? Don't fret, "Canada’s Twilight Saga headquarters" surely has plenty of copies left.
For more, read Mark's story (and interview with Meyers) on the occasion of the release of Breaking Dawn, the fourth and "final" book in the Twilight series.
Here is the full Indigo press release:
Young Canadians have been demonstrating their thirst for a good read as Indigo 本 and 音楽 marks the sale this week of 600,000 copies of Stephenie Meyer’s page-turning Twilight series in 2008. The paranormal romance of Bella, Edward the vampire and Jacob the werewolf has become so 人気 among young readers this 年 that the Twilight Saga has eclipsed the number of Harry Potter 本 sold at the Canadian bookstore in 2007, including the launch of the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This sales milestone comes in the same week as the highly anticipated Twilight movie hits the big screen.
"I never expected to see another series sell as many copies as Harry Potter did in 2007. For the Twilight series to have sold もっと見る copies in 2008 than the Harry Potter series did last 年 is truly extraordinary," says Trevor Dayton, Vice President, Kids and Entertainment at Indigo 本 & 音楽 Inc.
“We are inspired によって the surge in the volume of readership in the Young Adult category. The number of 本 sold in the Twilight series and other up-and-coming novels shows that young Canadians 愛 to read. Book sales in this category have exploded によって over 200% in the last five years” notes Dayton. “Teens have increasingly galvanized around books, and 読書 and sharing their passion for these stories with each other through social networking and digital technology.”
The Twilight series has become a huge phenomenon across the world, and especially in Canada where the series’ loyal ファン base, also called “Twilighters”, has become so devoted that they clamour to be among the first to buy copies of each new release. Just this summer, to launch Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book in the Twilight Saga, thousands of ファン across Canada attended Midnight 仮面舞踏会 parties at Indigo and Chapters stores to be among the first to buy copies of the latest book.
With the holidays fast approaching, this impressive milestone reminds parents that 本 make great gifts providing hours of entertainment and serve as a catalyst for connection with their teens. The complete assortment of Twilight series books, 音楽 and accessories are available at Indigo, Canada’s Twilight Saga headquarters.

So, the past week had been filled with Twilight pictures. Everyday we got at least 2 amazing pictures. Well, now that the Twilight Illistrated Movie Companion is out, there are scans of pictures from the movie in the book on the internet.
And someone from LiveJournal really caught my eye... in a bad way. This particular person is saying stuff like "**** Summit" または "**** Twilight Illustrated Movie Companion". What I don't get is... Why do they choose to look at the pictures?! The person who 投稿されました these pictures warned that they would be spoilers, and announced not click the link if they didn't want to see them.
Those who want to be surprised によって the movie, that's fine. But they shouldn't go around cussin Summit または Stephenie Meyer または any other fansite because they chose to view them.

Here is a link to a Twilight/New Moon extra- Being Jacob Black....
It is the story of Jacob from when we meet him first in Twilight until the end of New Moon. It is interesting.
