But it was a book written by a woman for young girls that somehow became overwhelmingly popular and a cultural phenomenon, and women really didn't get to have a lot of things like that. No, TWILIGHT won't be winning any female empowerment awards, and it's all too easy to make fun of (whether it's vampire baseball, sparkling in the sunlight, or the infamous misuse of the word "nattering"). I eventually settled on a sort of affectionate resignation. (Beware, kiddos who follow me, one day, you too will be one of the "olds.") Since that first initial read, I've reread TWILIGHT a handful of times, and each time, I've felt a little differently about it as my thoughts about feminism, young adult fiction, and romances slowly changed and evolved with my own self-identification over time. I was still a teenager when I first read TWILIGHT, and now I am.
I hope to see all of you soon! It’s been too long.Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || Pinterest Music (of course), contests, information on the book tour, and more will be posted on this page. Stay tuned this summer-we have lots more fun things planned. I hope going back to the beginning of Bella’s and Edward’s story reminds you of all that fun, too. We found kindred spirits that are still in our lives now. We made hilarious t-shirts and fabulous websites. We had a lot of fun, didn’t we? Throwing proms and hanging out in hotel rooms and reading on the beach (while getting the most epic sunburns of our lives). But completing Midnight Sun has brought back to me those early days of Twilight when I first met many of you. I can only imagine all the things that have changed for you. Working on a book for more than thirteen years is a strange experience. (No pressure, Laini Taylor.) So, I hope this announcement gave you some pleasure and something fun to look forward to. Personally, I would be nothing but delighted if one of my favorite authors announced something new for me to read. I don’t know how everyone else is coping, but right now books are my main solace and happiest escape.
However, 1) who knows when that will be? And 2) you guys have waited long enough. I hope this announcement doesn’t seem ill-timed I really considered delaying the release until the world was back to normal.
Second, I’m happy to announce that Midnight Sun is finally (very close to) ready! And will be in bookstores on August 4 th. First of all, I hope that you and your families are all safe, healthy, and in a good place.
