Comic Con- Epilogue (Sort of)

So... I was slinking around on Ebay and got a couple of posters from someone who'd been to Comic-Con, and they finally came late last week.  Can't wait to frame them.

Books on the Horizon

Ha Ha. Horizon.  Breaking Dawn. Get it?

OK, moving on...

I was searching around on Amazon, and I typed in "Breaking Dawn."  I didn't get anything too spectacular.

Until I selected "Sort by Publication Date."

Now here's when things got interesting.

Amazon- Breaking Dawn

My guess is that it might be reissues of Breaking Dawn with a "Part 2" cover.  There's nothing yet on whether or not there will be a illustrated movie companion.  I hope there will be.  I'm sure there will.  After all, if there's a part one book, then there has to be a part two... .

PS: Let's just say I'm feeling a little better about getting "Mama Bear" Vampire Bella.  That's all.

A Note to the Comic-Con-Goer

Dear Comic-Con attendees,

 This note is addressed to you, but I'm mainly writing to my fellow Twihards who will once again be lucky enough to gather together in Hall H for the Breaking Dawn panel. For those of you who will have the presence of mind to film (ok, let's be real, straight- up bootlegging) the film clips which will be shown, pleassssee, do not get cold feet at the last minute and give us only audio.

 Seriously, whoever that was, you were driving us crazy last year for like a week. Or however long.


 Have fun, and relax. You'll be attending the last Twilight panel before the finale this November. Take in the significance. 


 And, in the words of Edward, 


 Be safe. 


 Sincerely, me. 


 PS: To the director- hope the film score you're now supervising in London will be as awesome as the first. ("Love, Death, Birth," anyone?)

It's Here: The New Bracelet

Okay, I finally got it finished!

As Alice Cullen said, "It's time, it's time, it's time!"

Oh, wait. Wrong movie.  My bad.

I'd been wanting to do a Hunger Games bracelet for a while, and it took me some time to get everything together.  I got the beads from Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Walmart, and Etsy.  I was going for a "Girl on Fire" theme.

I had a hard time finding just the right bow and arrow charm, and I finally found this shop on Etsy. The store's name starts with "Bohemian."  Some of the charms I wasn't looking for originally, but when I saw them I thought they would fit, such as the dress charm.  I might touch up the dress with some gold nail polish- just a bit.  Maybe.

The orange beads really aren't orange- they're amber.  I found these "metallic" bronze beads at Hobby Lobby, and the accents I got from Walmart.  The sparrow charm looks a lot like the mockingjay.

Divergent, Fanfiction, and a Trailer

The other day I forgot my book at home when I was going to work with some time to kill.

[CHORUS: How could you forget your book??]

I know, I know.

So I was looking in the book section of said job, and this book caught my eye: "Divergent," by Veronica Roth.  I flipped through it a little, and it looked interesting.  I bought it.

My goodness, it is really good.  At first glance, it may seem like a Hunger Games rip-off, but I assure you, it's not.  It's like HG with a edge.  A very psychological edge.  And darker.  It is dystopian, so the two have that in common.  Very futuristic with a moral caste system.

It would make a really good movie.  I'm only half-way through it.

I'm not that much into fanfiction.  I've looked on some sites for Twilight fanfiction, and I did find one story in particular that I liked, but now I can't find it.  I guess I'll keep looking.  There was this book that someone, named Jean Rush, wrote called "First Light," about Renesmee, Bella and Edward's daughter.  I thought it was okay.  I didn't really like it when Nessie went with the Volturi, and I know a bunch of people didn't like the ending.  But, really, if you think about the Twilight series as a whole, it kind of makes sense.

Rush wrote a sequel to "First Light," called "First Light: Rising Sun."  It's told from Leah's perspective.  Leah isn't one of my favorite characters, but I thought I'd give it a try.  I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would.  About halfway through it switches to Nessie's perspective.  And more of the central characters get to be involved in this one.  There was this one major plot twist that I left me wondering, "How on earth is this going to get worked out?"  But it does.

Speaking of Twilight, we got the first teaser last month for Breaking Dawn 2!! Yay!  It was really good, and it left me wanting more.
