Share Twilight, Once More: Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun Releases August 4!

Stephenie Meyer’s long-awaited Midnight Sun finally has a release date: August 4! This Twilight companion novel will center on the events of the first book of the saga, but present them from Edward Cullen’s perspective. And we can’t stop speculating about what kind of thoughts fill up that vampire head of his. Are they the stoic, mysterious type that complement his personality? Perhaps they’re philosophical, contemplative thoughts which only an immortal being might have. Or maybe they’re of a more obsessive, repetitive nature, something like “Bella, blood, Bella, blood.”

On her website, Meyer reflects: “[T]he idea of letting Edward have his chance to speak stuck with me. I couldn’t shake it. I found myself thinking his words in the middle of the night and jotting down phrases he would use while I was waiting in line at the post office…” However, she abandoned the project after the manuscript was leaked 12 years ago. We’re so glad it’s coming now. NOBODY LEAK IT THIS TIME.

Fans first found out
that something was up last week after Meyer
posted a countdown clock on her website, which ended up crashing from all the
traffic—that fact alone should tell you just how excited fans are for this new
release!

Here’s what else Twitter has to say:

And here is how Meyer broke the news to readers on Good Morning America earlier today:  


If August feels like decades away, here are a few books perfect for Twilight fans that will help you survive the wait:

The Sinner
J.R. Ward

A sinner’s only hope is true love in this passionate new novel in J.R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Syn has kept his side hustle as a mercenary a secret from the Black Dagger Brotherhood. When he takes another hit job, he not only crosses the path of the vampire race’s new enemy, but also that of a half-breed in danger of dying during her transition. Jo Early has no idea what her true nature is, and when a mysterious man appears out of the darkness, she is torn between their erotic connection and the sense that something is very wrong.

Fate anointed Butch O’Neal as the Dhestroyer, the fulfiller of the prophecy that foresees the end of the Omega. As the war with the Lessening Society comes to a head, Butch gets an unexpected ally in Syn. But can he trust the male—or is the warrior with the bad past a deadly complication?

With time running out, Jo gets swept up in the fighting and must join with Syn and the Brotherhood against true evil. In the end, will love true prevail...or was the prophecy wrong all along?

The Honey-Don’t List
by Christina Lauren

We owe the Twilight fandom BIG, if only for the fact that it brought us Christina Lauren, a.k.a. the writing duo Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. The two met and started writing fic together in 2009, and look at them now! We’re obsessed with all their books, including their latest, The Honey-Don’t List.

The Honey-Don’t List
Christina Lauren

From the New York Times bestselling author behind the “joyful, warm, touching” (Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author) The Unhoneymooners comes a delightfully charming love story about what happens when two assistants tasked with keeping a rocky relationship from explosion start to feel sparks of their own.

Carey Douglas has worked for home remodeling and design gurus Melissa and Rusty Tripp for nearly a decade. A country girl at heart, Carey started in their first store at sixteen, and—more than anyone would suspect—has helped them build an empire. With a new show and a book about to launch, the Tripps are on the verge of superstardom. There’s only one problem: America’s favorite couple can’t stand each other.

James McCann, MIT graduate and engineering genius, was originally hired as a structural engineer, but the job isn’t all he thought it’d be. The last straw? Both he and Carey must go on book tour with the Tripps and keep the wheels from falling off the proverbial bus.

Unfortunately, neither of them is in any position to quit. Carey needs health insurance, and James has been promised the role of a lifetime if he can just keep the couple on track for a few more weeks. While road-tripping with the Tripps up the West Coast, Carey and James vow to work together to keep their bosses’ secrets hidden, and their own jobs secure. But if they stop playing along—and start playing for keeps—they may have the chance to build something beautiful together…

From the “hilariously zany and heartfelt” (Booklist) Christina Lauren comes a romantic comedy that proves if it’s broke, you might as well fix it.
