Summer reading List

This is a reminder that we are currently reading Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak. I just finished it and it is fantastic. Its use of voice, and the narator's comments about teachers are pretty amusing. You have till July 13th to finish the novel, it is really short, especially in comparision to Twilight. Also, if Speak isn't your cup of tea, next we will be reading Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights Dream. I will be posting a link to various on-line texts of this play this evening, if you want to get started on that. P.S two of the Twilight staff moderators have recomended Evernight by Clauida Grey. I will let you know how I like it.

Twilight the Musical

I love students who get creative, go beyond the simple project to really encompass all that their talents can create. That is why I am posting this video. It cracked me up, and I love how "seriously" they take themselves. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Monday's Twilight News

* We still need your help with our Project Twilight Contamination. I have tried to get some of the bigger sites to mention this, but it hasn't exactly worked out. So that means YOU, yes YOU, need to go spread the word. I can't express enough how much donating one book to a libabry will effect it. Go watch the explantion video here.

*The Twilight Lexicon has some great information about Meyer's books on top ten lists from around the world, check it out here.

*His Golden Eyes is reporting that Breaking Dawn will be 768 pages long. While this has not been confirmed, it sounds like lit goodness to me.

*BellaandEdward is reporting that new images of Robert have sprung up on-line.

*If you are a fan of Twilight Series Theories and I most certainly am, go check out their neato new widget.

Why Read? - Twilight Style!

Our next victim, I mean honored guest, is no other than Be My Escape from everyone's fav Twilight Lexicon. She is the person behind the Summer School postings over at the Lex which just happen to be my fav thing they have posted on there so far! Yay Twilight and Education! Enjoy!

1) What were your experiences with literature growing up? Were you always an avid reader?

Growing up I loved to read however I didn't learn how to read on my own until I was in Kindergarten. I remember being angry that my friend could read on his own and I couldn't so my grandmother practiced with me everyday until I could do it on my own. I loved to read Anne of Green Gables, Little house on teh Praire, and Sweet Valley High(everyone should have a guilty pleasure) when I was younger. I actually stopped reading for a while when I was in college because I was too busy doing college work. I wasn't always an avid reader but since I have found Twilight I actually have found a new for reading adn Young Adult literature.

2) What was your favorite book growing up and why?
My favortie book when i was little was Anne of Green Gables. I loved pretending to be Anne and experiencing all the different things she went through.

3) What first drew you to the Twilight series?
The cover of the book. m I must ahve walked by the book 5 times and everytime I picked it up because of the cover. I was hesitant about the vampires but I am glad I bought it in the end.

4) What is your favorite book of the series so far and why?
It is so hard to decide. I like them all so so many different reason. Twilight is the beginning of it all you would be no where without it, New Moon gives a Jacob and I just love him as a character even though I don't believe he belongs with Bella, and then there is Eclipse which shows us so much more about each character.

5) What books besides Twilight would you recommend to young adults?
I recently read a new vampire book called Evernight by CLaudia Gray. It is very interesting and has a twist I didn't see coming.

Twilight - The dance?

I stumbled upon this great video and had to share it. The video was created by an AP English class and it interprets and summarizes the Twilight story in a very interesting way--through interpretative dance. I think it is really cute, and this is exactly the kind of stuff we are all about here at Novel Novice. Enjoy!
