Stephenie Meyer to Do Book Signing in Philadelphia February 22

Stephenie Meyer is doing a Book signing at the Philadelphia Public Library. Jake Abel and Max Irons from The Host will also be there.

Sign up required. See the Library’s page here.

EDITED: For folks asking questions, we have some further info about exactly what Stephenie will and will not sign. According to the folks in Philly running the event “Stephenie will only sign books. She will personalize The Host only, and backlist will get a signature. She will sign up to two books.” We (the Lexicon staff) believe “backlist” refers to her books that are not The Host books that she is actually the author of. So in other words her “backlist” would be Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, Bree Tanner, the Official Guide.  We don’t think it would include movie tie-in products since she is not the actual author. They are books about her work, but not penned by her. As for the graphic novels, we are not sure.  Anyway, our two cents, help the library out by buying a Host book from them and then bring one of your own. It’s all for a great cause.

A Thousand Years in Top 10 Love Songs from Spotify

Just in time for Valentine’s day, Spotify has released a top 10 list of most streamed love songs based on data from “love songs” playlists. Christina Perri’s A Thousand Years came in at #3 behind I Won’t Give Up by Jason Mraz and I Wanna Know What Love Is by Foreigner.
This would make it appear that A Thousand Years is the most romantic of all the songs to come from The Twilight Saga. DO you agree? What other Twilight Saga songs on your “love songs” playlist?

Sundance Report on Austenland from Lexicon Member

Austenland trio of ladiesSeveral long time members of the Lexicon had the chance to go to Sundance and see a preview of Austenland. We asked Nena Cullen if she would do a write up on her experience.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the last screening of Austenland at the Sundace Festival. Austenland was submitted for the U.S. Dramatic competition and even though it didn’t win in its category, the film was picked up by Sony Entertainment for worldwide distribution after its premiere. Knowing that it in advance, I was expecting a great show. Having had read the book when it first came out in 2008, some of the details were a little blurry in my mind; but as I watched the film I was glad for it, because I couldn’t remember how it was supposed to end, which just added extra excitement to the plot. I am one that is hard to please when it comes to casting. But the cast couldn’t have been better. Director Jerusha Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) said that when Kerry Rusell was tied to the film, she immediately knew she had to be Jane, the main character. Hess was a big fan of Rusell back in the Mickey Mouse days and of course, the TV show Felicity. With household names like Jane Seymour, Jennifer Coolidge, etc. The film was highly anticipated and nobody disappoint. Since I had read the book I knew that this would be a romantic comedy but I’m not sure if other people in attendance knew what was coming. Everyone in the theater was double over with laughter almost the entire time. Every single character took their role to the next level and delivered funny line after funny line flawlessly. I was utterly impressed by their ability to film their scenes with a straight face. However, I predict a lot of out-takes and reel bloopers when the DVD comes out. Shannon Hale, author of Austenland was also in attendance and along with Jerusha Hess, they both answered a few questions after the film. Shannon talked about writing the screenplay along with Hess and how after that, Hess took it all from there. They talked about the chemistry among the cast members and some of the difficulties of filming abroad in 39 days. Overall, it is my impression that the small budget film will surprise moviegoers this summer. It will definitely delight Austen (and Hale) fans, and it is definitely the perfect debut for Stephenie Meyer’s Fickle Fish Production company.
