Young Canadians have been demonstrating their thirst for a good read as Indigo Bücher and Musik marks the sale this week of 600,000 copies of Stephenie Meyer’s page-turning Twilight series in 2008. The paranormal romance of Bella, Edward the vampire and Jacob the werewolf has become so beliebt among young readers this Jahr that the Twilight Saga has eclipsed the number of Harry Potter Bücher sold at the Canadian bookstore in 2007, including the launch of the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This sales milestone comes in the same week as the highly anticipated Twilight movie hits the big screen.
"I never expected to see another series sell as many copies as Harry Potter did in 2007. For the Twilight series to have sold Mehr copies in 2008 than the Harry Potter series did last Jahr is truly extraordinary," says Trevor Dayton, Vice President, Kids and Entertainment at Indigo Bücher & Musik Inc.

The number of Bücher sold in the Twilight series and other up-and-coming novels shows that young Canadians Liebe to read. Book sales in this category have exploded Von over 200% in the last five years” notes Dayton. “Teens have increasingly galvanized around books, and Lesen and sharing their passion for these stories with each other through social networking and digital technology.”
The Twilight series has become a huge phenomenon across the world, and especially in Canada where the series’ loyal Fan base, also called “Twilighters”, has become so devoted that they clamour to be among the first to buy copies of each new release. Just this summer, to launch Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book in the Twilight Saga, thousands of Fans across Canada attended Midnight Masquerade parties at Indigo and Chapters stores to be among the first to buy copies of the latest book.
With the holidays fast approaching, this impressive milestone reminds parents that Bücher make great gifts providing hours of entertainment and serve as a catalyst for connection with their teens. The complete assortment of Twilight series books, Musik and accessories are available at Indigo, Canada’s Twilight Saga headquarters.

It was confirmed today, that Carter Burwell will NOT be composing the score for New Moon. Alexander Desplat is composing in Carter's place. This raises the question, will Chris Weitz and Alexander Desplat use the lullaby Carter composed?
In my personal opinion, I really think it's better if they keep the same lullaby. Alot of Fans may disagree. And I agree to an extent, it did not sound like a lullaby. But, during the lullaby scene when they were in the trees, there was a Piano melody solo. If they kept that melody, but expanded it oder made it Mehr complex, it would sound Mehr like a lullaby. And they could keep the continuity.
What do Du guys think?
