And shockingly so *insert sarcasm here* Twilight mania has made their list! Which is pretty awesome, considering a lot has happened over the past 10 years!

Obviously it has topped our list, right?

According to the Baltimore sun, 2000 to 2009 has been the Stephenie Meyer decade -

In the coming weeks, we’ll review some of the decade’s biggest books and trends, beginning with this pronouncement: I hereby declare 2000-09 to be the Stephenie Meyer decade. (That sound you just heard was Nancy hitting the floor.) Meyer’s novel “Twilight,” released in October of 2005, hit the top of the best seller lists and has hardly budged since — while being joined by others in the series. Just look at the latest list: Sarah Palin’s on top, but Meyer has the #2, #3, #4 and #7 spots with “New Moon,” “Eclipse,” “Twilight” and “Breaking Dawn.” What could she have done if she hadn’t waited until the decade was half-over to start her series?

Her tales of teen love and angst, set in a world of vampires and werewolves, have sold by the jillions and have spawned hugely successful movies — not to mention a “Team Edward” t-shirt empire. Her writing style has been skewered by accomplished authors such as Stephen King, but her fans defend her with a fervor worthy of a werewolf. And though some think her fan base consists solely of teen-age girls, many older women adore her books, too. (And at least one guy.)Is there any doubt that she’s the successor to J.K. Rowling?

Oh Mr.Rosenthal you just may be my NEW best friend! Thank you for having the guts to say it.  There is so much truth to his statement. Look at the phenomenon that the Twilight Saga has become.

I will forever hold on to my Twilight Saga book box set, so that some day my daughter can read them. That right there, shows the power this Saga has.

Will the New Moon Soundtrack make it to the Oscars? Let’s all cross our fingers and hope it will happen.  The members from the Academy Awards committee have unveiled the candidates for the prestigious award.

On Jan. 12, the Academy will screen clips featuring each song, in random order, for voting members of the music branch in Los Angeles. Following the screenings, members will determine the nominees by an averaged point system vote. If no song receives an average score of 8.25 or more, there will be no nominees in the category. If only one song achieves that score, it and the song receiving the next highest score shall be the two nominees. If two or more songs (up to five) achieve that score, they shall be the nominees.

“Possibility” by Lykke Li is on the New Moon soundtrack and is among the list of candidates.  “Possibility” is the song that is played when Bella enters her zombie-like state following the winter months in which Edward and the Cullens have left the town of Forks. The song is a huge fan favorite(mine as well.) 

So it is quite a process but I think we can pull this one off, after all our beloved saga has been nothing but amazing thus far.  The selections will take place on January 12Th but the Oscar nominations aren’t announced until  Feb. 2nd.  Click here for the entire list of candidates.
