In case you haven’t heard, a fifth book to go with the series is being released on June 5th.   The book is titled The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.  Here is a link to Stephanie Meyers website in which she explains more about the story.

          First off, I think it is awesome that Meyers is letting more of her work involved with Twilight be seen.  I find it very interesting that she had all these left over stories going as she wrote the series.  It makes sense though.  I haven’t read Midnight Sun but I love the idea of seeing what happened during Edward’s time away.  It didn’t have a place in Twilight but it is something that adds to the overall story.  Bree Tanner is the same situation.  We don’t know what was going on from the other side and now we will. 

          I love the fact that Meyer let the actors playing Victoria and her band of vampires read the story first.  It sounds like Eclipse is going to let the viewers see what happened, at least to some extent, so it is nice that Meyer’s came up with a story verses the film writer doing it all.  Giving the actors more information to add depth to their roles is awesome too.  While on the subject, is anyone else pretty excited to see Bryce Dallas Howard step in as Victoria? I’ve enjoyed her acting in the past so I think she will be a good fit.  I didn’t have anything again Rachelle Lefevre but I am a big fan of Howard so I love seeing her in stuff.

          My favorite part about Meyer’s releasing this novella is that she made it a point to have it available both free and in print form.  Personally, I will buy the book.  I have a huge book collection and can’t wait to add it.  But for those who don’t want the physical book, it is awesome that she is making it available to them.  For anyone with e-readers, that will be a huge plus.  I’m assuming it will be able to be uploaded to them.  It is cool that some of the proceeds are going to the red cross too.  If (hopefully it is more of a when then an if) I become published, once I get to a stable point money wise, I want to donate money or whatever I can to help end world suck.  Nerdfighter reference there but honestly, it is true.  I want the world to be a better place.  I try to donate to charities, especially pet charities, whenever I can.  I don’t have a lot of money but I like to try to help.  There would be no better feeling in the world then to get to a point where I could donate my entire portion of my book to charity.

          So who else is excited for The Short Life of Bree Tanner?
