Good news because it proves you can give away your writing and still make money on books.

Bad news because it seems you have to write like Meyer to pull it off.

now i'm basically jealous

>British bookstore chain Waterstones expects to sell more copies of Bree Tanner than of any other book this year.

Damn Brits. Oscar Wilde would be dissapoint.

Waterstone's employee here. Had zero people asking me about Bree Tanner and actually a refunds on it. No sales.
Maybe it's because I work on the upstairs tills for the specialised sections (History, Travel, Health, Academic, Arts etc) and not in Fiction...

*a few refunds

I hate this world so so so much.

Purify the earth with fire. You know what must be done.

>Stephanie has gone a little dark since Twilight, I read the first couple pages on the website but it was just too dark and disgusting for me. It just had a gothish light on it, not uplifting in any way. But that's just because I don't like stuff like that.

This is probably why there were refunds of his book. Who wants to read books about vampires killing people? That's just icky, with all that murder and uncouth stuff.

If your going to spend a couple hours reading it at hour. Save yourself some $$ and read it at the bookstore!! Or online!!!

>>821526
So wait, she actualy wrote a book with vampires KILLING people and CONFLICT and without ROMANCE.

The fuck

*correction..Dont take it Home!

Most were because they already had another copy and it was an unwanted present. FML.

>>821531
no, there was a romance subplot shoehorned in. It was really half-assed. They meet each other, go on one date, and then the guy disappears for the other half of the book, and they somehow she figures out that he's dead.

And while the vampires kill people, its very obvious that Stephenie Meyer wasn't comfortable writing about it. Bree always closes her eyes or looks away whenever someone dies, and there isn't any graphic descriptions of anything.

And there was really no conflict. There was so little conflict that Bree didn't even put up a fight or argue against her execution.

>>821539
or maybe they didn't want it once they realized Edward only makes a cameo appearance and isn't the center of attention

>>821547
So wait, even though this chick is a vampire she STILL is just as much of a useless piece of luggage as bella was?

Can Stephanie Meyer even write a protagonist that does things?

>>821563
A better question would be "Can Stephanie Meyer even write?"

The answer is no.

>Great, Riley was going to blow a gasket.

Meyer clearly has her hand on the pulse of the younger generation.

>>821603
maybe Mormon teenagers really do talk like that.

>>821527
You know what's worse than Twilight fans? You.

You are scum.

>implying Lestat is not gayer than Edward Cullen by a great magnitude

Anne Rice's shit is only slightly better than Meyer's.

>>823231
At least Anne Rice's vampires kill people.

I thought it was available for free.

On the bright side, that's over $700,000 to the Red Cross

>>823231
At least Lestat doesn't sparkle.

>>823508

Twilight is good, but I would rather read Dune.

Stephenie Meyer and Glenn Beck publish a book a few weeks apart. Truly it is a great day for literature.

hey kid you want a cheeseburger?

The whole twilight series suffers from the same kind of drab shit you just described. It seemed like the only text she even cared about was describing the various physical characteristics of the two love interests. Reading about 100 pages of eye descriptions really wore on me.
