The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn & Eclipse make list of top ten books left behind in hotel rooms

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn & Eclipse have both made it onto the list of top ten books that get left behind in hotel rooms.

The Twilight Saga novels – written by Stephenie Meyer – ranked in at number six and number eight in the research conducted by a budget hotel chain.



Here’s the full list of top ten reads left behind in Travelodge hotels over the last year:



1. Simon Cowell: The Unauthorised Biography by Chas Newkey-Burden


2. Ooh! What a lovely Pair by Ant & Dec


3.The Storm: The World Economic Crisis and What it Means by Vince Cable


4. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown


5. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsoon


6. Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga) by Stephenie Meyer


7. The Girl Who Played with Fire by Steig Larsson


8. Eclipse ( The Twilight Saga) by Stephenie Meyer


9.The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest by Steig Larsson


10. Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert


1. They have finished reading the book and rather than carrying it back home they have left it for someone else to read. Aw, sharing the Edward Cullen love!


2. They have genuinely left the book behind because it was hidden in the bed covers or fallen out of bed. Crushing for those who can’t wait to find out what happens in the Edward-Bella-Jacob love triangle.

3. They got bored reading the book and decided to leave it behind in the hotel room rather than carrying it around with them (Obviously they’re not talking about Twilight here).

Stephenie Meyer Reveals The Status Of "The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide"

In another release from the Stephenie Meyer Eclipse fan junket, Twifans.com has gotten the details on progress of The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide - the guidebook which has been on most Twilight fans' pre-order list for years by this point.




"[I]t's continuing," she said, "It just … it keeps evolving. So then we have to catch up … I don't know. I hope that when it comes out, it's amazing. Because it seems like a lot of effort has been put into it at this point. And it is kind of evolving, and 'let's do this, no let's do this'. It's going to have a lot of great information, and it’s really cool. I think my favorites are the genealogy charts for the Quileutes. They are beautiful....they're lovely . . . So it's my mission that this has everything correct. Which would be great. Hopefully, not forever.....to go on it, we'll see. You know....movies interrupt things a lot. Movies are a time-sucker!"



You can listen to the audio and read the full transcript from the interview here.



As you might recall, the Bree Tanner Novella was originally intended to be a part of the Guide, but it was decidedly too long for inclusion in that work. The news of Bree Tanner's release seemed to indicate that the Guide was being worked on, and now that we know Stephenie Meyer's intentions to finish it, there'll be no doubt that the Guide will see the light of day! Still no word on the release date, but this is great news!

Stephenie Meyer Talks Volvos, Sequels with Renesmee, Leah and Edward’s Chivalry

Twilight Series Theories has a great transcription and audio clip of the part of the interview where Stephenie talks about her feelings on the Volvo color change in the movies, the characters she would most like to do sequels with and how she just enjoys writing – not to send out a message or make a point.






Fansite: If you were forced to write a sequel or some novella, which—what character or characters would you do?

SM: If I were to go ahead with sequels, and I think that I’ve already stated this in some book thing, I would tell it from two narrators again, although I think I’d switch back and forth and it would be Nessie and Leah. And you know it’s funny because a lot of people are like—I’ve read a lot of theories about why I felt compelled to have Bella have a baby and there’s only one reason and it’s not because—there isn’t a lot of really negative stuff—it’s not because you know Bella needed to have a baby or anything, it’s because I knew—it was really clear because I’d already done “Forever Dawn”—once Bella becomes a vampire she loses her relatability. But Nessie was created because she was the logical voice, you have someone who’s half-human, half-vampire who doesn’t fit in anywhere and is an outsider in some ways, but then loved and cherished by her family. But all the intricacies—she had so many problems, so many challenges so she was so attractive to me as a narrator. And then Leah, of course, obviously is left open, right? I can’t—I couldn’t solve all the problems in this because I didn’t want to end it. I mean clearly the Volturi, that wasn’t the end, end. I needed to get to an ending spot for now, but you know I…I just couldn’t see them, the Volturi—they’re smart, they’re patient, they’ve been doing this forever—they’re not going to get into this situation and not say, “Oh we need to reevaluate.” It didn’t make sense for me—them as characters to just go ahead with it, for me. But like, Nessie’s supposed to tell the story next and Leah has a story to tell too and so that’s where it would go.

What do you think of Stephenie’s ideas for sequels with Leah and Nessie? What do you think of her views on why Edward behaves the way he does?

Stephenie Meyer discusses Edward Cullen’s flaws

Many of you would disagree with Stephenie Meyer’s assessment that the dreamy Edward Cullen has any faults, but Steph says she believes he has flaws. Here is what she said at the fan junket in June. Hear the audio of this discussion at Twifans:

TST: With your characters — do they run the show or do you run the show?



SM: This is something I’ve learned. People think you’re crazy when you tell the truth on this question. But, writers don’t think you’re crazy, because they understand. The characters run the show. Because once you create a character, it’s who they are. Sure, there are certain things they can’t do. Certain things they can’t say; it’s not in character. I had that problem with Edward a lot. In the beginning he was a really, a very strong character. New Moon came about because of his character. I did not want to write him going away, that was not very much fun, but if he hadn’t done that, how could he say he tried everything? He didn’t try everything to save her, if he hadn’t gone away. So that whole book revolved around his (Edward’s) iron nature that he had, that I could not get around. I could not just make him…he was so loathed to destroy her life. There was no way that he was gonna “okay, you’re right. We’ll just hang out.” He’s also such a know-it-all. Bella’s trying to tell him “look, this is something different than we think it is” and he’s “no, I know better….I’m a 110.” He’s kind-of a brat sometimes. It’s so funny when people think I have constructed (in a negative way) my idea of the perfect man and how flawless he is. No, he’s very flawed. I’m well aware of that. And he’s lived in this world where rules don’t apply to him. He does stuff that is over the line for a human person. But he is a vampire and can fool a lot of people. So going into someone’s room at night isn’t that bad, in comparison. And the rules don’t apply to him; he does all kinds of really shallow stuff. But I still like him.
