It has been reported that Meyer’s read­er­ship is not as […]

I found this video on the Hachette Book Group page for teens that has Stephe­nie Meyer inform­ing read­ers of what hap­pens next in the Twi­light uni­verse. First, she does say that Break­ing Dawn is the last story told from Bella’s per­spec­tive. She says she may explore this uni­verse more with other char­ac­ters (I hope it’s […]

Stephe­nie Meyer has tem­porar­ily set aside her vam­pires to give us, adults, a sci­ence fic­tion story. Well, she exceeded my expec­ta­tions because this book turned out to be a solid sci-fi thriller.
The Host, doesn’t employ an orig­i­nal sto­ry­line because to me, it sounded like another ver­sion of the Body Snatch­ers. When I men­tioned the plot of Ms. […]

New Moon by Stephe­nie Meyer was a much antic­i­pated book by many read­ers. How­ever, New Moon was a slight dis­ap­point­ment. The most cap­ti­vat­ing parts of New Moon for me would have to be the begin­ning and the end.
Yes, those are the scenes with Edward in it. How­ever, the author decided to _not_ have Edward and the Cullen fam­ily included […]

Stephe­nie Meyer makes a mem­o­rable debut with YA novel that gives read­ers a bit of a twist with plenty of sus­pense, atmos­phere and charm that had me stay­ing up well past my bed­time. Twi­light is clas­si­fied as a YA novel but don’t let the label throw you off as you would be miss­ing out on one of the most cap­ti­vat­ing reads of last year. Here […]
