The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

Liz — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:15:23 GMT

In case you haven't heard, Stephenie Meyer has released a new book in the Twilight universe, dealing with the newborn vampires we read about in Eclipse. For a limited time, Stephenie has made this book available to read for free at this website: http://www.breetanner.com/

Head on over and read this great novella. I read it in a few hours, and it really made me excited to re-read Eclipse, and now I can't wait until June 30th when the movie comes out.

The library is in the process of buying copies of the book as well, so be sure to place a hold on it if you'd rather read the paper version.

Cassandra Clare has just released the cover art for her new book "Clockwork Angel!" This is the first book in her new fantasy trilogy, "The Infernal Devices," which will be a prequel to her Mortal Instruments series. I think the cover looks AMAZING! So cool.

I just read about a cool new social network for all you aspiring teen writers out there. HarperCollins has created inkpop, a site that connects teen writers with publishing professionals and people in the know. This is a great opportunity for you all to let your voices be heard, and who knows, maybe even be published. Check it out!
