This is news to me!
According to USA Today Stephenie Meyer is writing on a new series. This time she has chosen a mythological being very different from vampires. Meyer is writing about MERMAIDS. Now what do we think about that? I would love to hear your thoughts on this piece of information.

I quote USA Today(read the entire article here):
Even Stephenie Meyer, who made her fame and fortune writing about vampires, told USA TODAY in March that she's writing about mermaids. (And, yes, she was wearing a silver mermaid necklace when she said it.)
The article on USA Today is a year old and I did not know this. Have I been living under a rock? Did any of you guys know? I feel so behind right now LOL
A big thanks goes to Stacey O'Neale for mentioning this to me on Twitter. Because of Stacey I fervently searched Google and finally found what I was looking for.
Don't forget to check out my WANTED post.
I need a new blog partner over at Escape In A Book, are you the one I'm looking for?
Omg, I did not know that! Thanks for writing this and letting me know!
ReplyDeleteTime to go freak the freak out! OMGOMGOMG! AAHHHHH!
LOL, don't scare the neighbors :D
DeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only one that didn't know this :)
I had no idea either. I didn't think she was writing at all because of all the producing she was doing on the movies and her blog doesn't mention this at all :/ Wish I would have known sooner.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is not her top priority? It must be a lot of work with all those movie productions going on at the same time :)
DeleteI had absolutely no idea either. :)
ReplyDeleteAt least I had wonderful company under said rock :D
DeleteI suppose it will be easy for me to stay away from this, as I don't like mermaids, haha.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to read a good mermaid novel, but I'm not giving up hope yet.
DeleteI DID NOT know about this! I think she is just following the mermaid trend happening in YA recently.
ReplyDeleteI can agree to that, but it will be fun to see if she can pull it off. I haven't read any good mermaid stories yet.
DeleteOh god how can we stop her before she ruins EVERY GENRE.
ReplyDeleteBut mermaids are so done, enough with them
ReplyDeleteBut, but I haven't read enough mermaid novels to find the good ones yet!So I'm not done ;)
DeleteI heard about this back then but I haven't heard anything since!
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing about this a while ago (maybe in this article) but I haven't heard anything since about when/if she'll have more books coming out. I don't know if I'll be excited to read them when she does. The movie hype has been so extensive that I'm kind of Meyer-ed out right now.
ReplyDeleteI must've been under a rock, too...I had no idea! Although, I don't read USA Today, so if it wasn't really mentioned in other places I wouldn't have seen it. lol Thanks for letting us know! I had no idea. lol
ReplyDeleteOK I heard Mermaids are so done than so is Vampires by the time Meyer wrote Twilight Series Anne Rice and about a billion others had written about it. Not that Mermaids have been done its how will she do it!! Love Love I'm a HUGE FAN and thinking THIS ROCKS. Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteApparently mermaids are the new vampires/werewolves/angels. I've yet to read a good mermaid novel, too, but I'm sure there must be some around. Not that I'm so eager to explore, actually. I started one, and it was an ARC of The Mermaid's Mirror, but I didn't finish it.
ReplyDeleteIn a nutshell: I didn't know, but I'm not particularly surprised at her choice of subject. I might pick her new book up when it's released, but I'm only moderately curious - this is the author who wrote Breaking Dawn, after all.
I could get into a mermaid story, but I'm not a fan of Twilight, so I'm not sure I'll be able to get into Meyer's mermaid story.
ReplyDeleteOMG I've been living under a rock too!! I DIDN'T KNOW! Well, that's awesome :P :) Hope it will be good. Though I haven't read any book with mermaids yet :P Thank you for letting me know :P :P
ReplyDeleteI think that I've heard about it, even though I can't remember it :) It didn't feel like news to me, so maybe I've just forgotten about it?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know until I saw something on FB ... lots of us under that rock lol. I'm a twilight fan but can't believe Stephanie Meyer has got on the mermaid train. 6 months ago I read an article predicting that mermaids were going to be the next big thing LOL
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea. Thanks for sharing! Great news :)
ReplyDeleteOj har jag missat helt med! Va spännande =)
ReplyDeleteNot sure if anyone has mentioned it before (too many comments to work through!) but she talked about her mermaid and ghost books shortly after The Host has been published, I think. o.o She only said that she had some ideas about a ghost and a mermaid book, but she DID talk about it even then. (Maybe it was after Eclipse, but I think it was after The Host.. Back then I really liked her books. o.o)
