STEPHENIE MEYER.COM UPDATE: BOOK, MUSIC AND MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS
We have a new update from Stephenie Meyer’s official site today! Stephenie talks about a variety of things including the Twilight fanisites helping Haiti, a new book recommendation, another music recommendation and a movie recommendation. Check out what she has to say below:
January 27, 2010Hope your new years have all started off right. A few unrelated things:
- I’ve been very impressed with the world in general and the Twilight fansites in specific in the support and love everyone is giving Haiti. It’s amazing to see how Twilight fans have come together to help. You are wonderful people. At this point, I think it’s important for all of us to remember that the situation in Haiti is not going to be cured overnight, so… keep up the good work, and let’s all keep the Haitians in our thoughts and prayers.
- A new book recommendation: I recently read and adored The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It was one of those books that feel absolutely perfect and satisfying, and when you finish it you sit around wishing that you could find another book just like it.
- I realized that there was an egregious oversight on my music recommendation page. How have I never listed Metric? That’s crazy. Anyway, Fantasies was one of the best albums of 2009.
- Finally, a movie recommendation: Dear John comes out Friday the fifth of February. Thanks to my cool friend Wyck (who many of you have seen in various Twilight Saga interviews, as he is one of the producers on our movies, and who is a producer on Dear John) I got to see this one early. I will confess, I cried. Also, I discovered Channing Tatum, who I’ve somehow missed until now. Likey. Lots. Amanda Seyfried is entrancing as always, and the chemistry (chemistry is always the crux of a movie for me) between them is lovely. Though the chemistry between Channing Tatum and Richard Jenkins (who plays his father) was my favorite part.
Have a great week!
Steph

What do you think of Stephenie’s recommendations? Are you going to try any of them?
in regaurds to the movie recomendation. i just finished the book dear john and plan on seeing it more than once. next to the twilight saga it was one of my favorite books!!!!!!!!
I read Dear John when it came out and actually met Nicholas Sparks on his book tour for the book. I had him sign that copy and another one of his books! Nicholas Sparks is right up there with SM and JK Rowling as my all time favorite authors. I love all three for different reasons, so I can’t pick one as a favorite!
I plan on seeing Dear John too and I plan to cry as well. Thankfully, I haven’t read it in a long time and I only read it once, so I don’t think I’ll be able to pick up on any book-film discrepancies.
Hi Stephenie I just 3 commerical one dear John and Valintime plus one TV show came but life Unexpected Gilmore Girl is back now in Portland org on Mondays Anyone should we keep an out let us know ok Thanks Plus Daughter computer is down so I have print all Twilight news for her Take care.
LOVED Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society!!! Great book recommendation Stephenie! One of my favorites (not by SM)!!!
I just finished reading Dear John a couple weeks ago. I plan on seeing the movie as well. I know it’ll be sad but I think SM’s right. Just to see Channing Tatum develop that relationship with Richard Jenkins is going to be so amazing yet so sad. That’s probably when I’ll cry… at that clutching moment (if you’ve read it, you know what moment I’m talking about)! Might check out Guernsey…
