breaking-dawn.jpgFour Twilight Essentials right off the bat! Whatcha expect?

- 'Touched by a Vampire' (I read this after I wrote my post for today…interesting stuff. One really positive thing about the popularity of the "Twilight Series" is all the discussion.) (Salon.com, reg. required)

- Breaking Dawn (Out tonight at 12 a.m. Why do teens love it so much? Teen expert Aimee Clark discusses the reasons it's so popular?) (SLJ)

- AND Stephenie Meyer at Comic Con ("Twilight Series" author gets warm reception, natch. Also, Her four-part video interview at EW's Popwatch is featured.) (GalleyCat)

- Edward vs. Jacob: The Great Twilight Debate (I love it.) (Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast)

- Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's book Influence (is out this fall. A coffee table book about fashion. This is the cover.) (Jossip)

- Orson Scott Card (on gay marriage and a great round-up of the general controversy regarding the author at Galleycat.)

- Book cover-coverage continues (Are serious female writers being dissed by "chick-lit" covers?) (GalleyCat)

- 'Presidential candidates to be featured in comic books' (But will teen comic book readers "buy" it? I don't think so.) (The Celebrity Cafe)

- Asimov's 'Foundation Trilogy' going to the Big Screen (but geekier than the Hobbit? Not sure. And here's more about it at Powell's.) (New York Magazine)
