Indigo has issued a press release stating their figures indicate that this anno Stephenie Meyers' Twilight series did più sales than J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series did last year, which included the final Potter book. Good timing for Twilight, of course, as the movie opens tomorrow. Haven't read the books? Don't fret, "Canada’s Twilight Saga headquarters" surely has plenty of copies left.
For more, read Mark's story (and interview with Meyers) on the occasion of the release of Breaking Dawn, the fourth and "final" book in the Twilight series.
Here is the full Indigo press release:
Young Canadians have been demonstrating their thirst for a good read as Indigo libri and Musica marks the sale this week of 600,000 copies of Stephenie Meyer’s page-turning Twilight series in 2008.

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 più copies in 2008 than the Harry Potter series did last anno is truly extraordinary," says Trevor Dayton, Vice President, Kids and Entertainment at Indigo libri & Musica Inc.

The number of libri sold in the Twilight series and other up-and-coming novels shows that young Canadians Amore to read. Book sales in this category have exploded da over 200% in the last five years” notes Dayton. “Teens have increasingly galvanized around books, and Leggere 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.

Regarding Kayla.....
Guys, I regret to inform te that my internet had committed technical suicide. I have stolen someone's laptop to write this and I hate to tell te that until someone revives my internet no further Kayla chapters can be posted.
This is an unforseen event and I will kick as many asses as I can to get the internet working agan.
I will continue to write the chapters and try to steal as many laptops and PCs as possible to post them.
I hate that I leave my story with te at such a critical point. Unfortunately this post is just a spur of the moment thing and I don't have my memory stick with me o I'd shove a chapter on at the end of this message.
Very sorry my peeps. te can verbally abuse me, my internet o BT broadband o all three!

te know Robert's song, Never Think, is on the Twilight soundtrack, right? Well my dad overheard me listening to the song and detto he has NO TALENT.
I don't geddit. He says the bands I listen to have no talent. I say Robert has tons of talent, but some people just don't SEE it. I think he's great for the role of Edward, and his voice is awesome, but I guess it's the way he sang for the recording.
Anyways, I want to let all of te know is that my dad will never change his tastes. I hate that. He'll keep bothering me because I'd ended my Jonas Brothers' Stage. He'll bother me because my sister listens to Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus. Why does he bother me further when I stay in the Twilight Stage?!!! I saw how big this fanspot is, and whoa, if my dad saw this, he'd lay off.
*Giggle*
I Amore Twilight, and hopefully, that'll NEVER change. Oops, baby brother on the prowl.
See ya!
