Here are a few highlights, but we recommend following the Twilight Examiner and the Twilight Lexicon for all the latest and greatest news in that fandom!

Novel Novice 
I enjoyed the Hunger Games posters. The movie news makes me want to pick up the Hourglass series. I’ve seen it everywhere.
Definitely excited to see all these books being turned into tv shows or movies–especially Warm Bodies (I LOVE Nicholas Holt!!!). Here’s hoping the scriptwriters stick close to the books and characters we love and the casting agents pick appropriate actors to portray them!
Smiles!
