Twilight Saga still topping the book charts in the US

As said, the Twilight books are still topping the book charts in the US. Of course they are! I'm sure they're topping the best selling lists in a lot of other countries as well, but this specific article is on the American book charts. USA Today reports (three days ago):

Stephenie Meyer's vampires have eclipsed all comers on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list, while James Patterson's Swimsuit has its day in the sun.

Bright 'Twilight': Vampires won't let go. Just as they did in the first quarter, Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels continued to dominate USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list in the second quarter — selling in the same order as they did in the first three months of the year.

TOP 150:

Top 20 sellers for the second quarter

Stephenie Meyer is the #26 Most Powerful Celebrity

Forbes has released their list of The World’s Most Powerful Celebrities, and Stephenie Meyer is up at #26, ahead of both David Beckham and Miley Cyrus! Congratulations Stephenie, you deserve it!

Thanks to the success of Meyer's Twilight series, 2008 became the
year of the vampire. The low-profile author sold 29 million books last year, releasing two new novels (Breaking Dawn and The Host) and selling hoards ofpaperbacks of what have become instant classics (Twilight, Eclipse and NewMoon). Last November, gothy fans camped out to catch the first film based on theseries; Twilight grossed $70 million opening weekend. A partial rough draft of the fifth Twilight book leaked online last August; Meyer published the full draft on her Web site and announced the book wouldn't be published.

Thanks for the tweet, TwilightersAnonymous!

Stephenie just wrote this at her website!

June 1, 2009

Thank you, everybody who voted at the MTV Movie Awards! It was awesome to see Twilight get so much love. Congratulations to Catherine and Rob and Kristen and all of the cast and everyone at Summit and everybody on the crew! You all did an amazing job and you deserve your popcorn!

Twilight fans are the best!

XOXO
Steph

P.S. You got to see a little taste of New Moon tonight, but I promise you this: when it comes to New Moon, you haven't seen anything yet! Can November please come faster?

Oh, that's good news; New Moon must really be amazing if we "haven't seen anything yet"! Yeah, I wonder if there's some kind of magic spell to make it November already. Any suggestions, people?

And Stephenie; thank you, for creating these AMAZING books. We love you!
