View Full Version : Breaking Dawn (Twilight book 4) Cover Art
http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/img/bdcover.jpg
anyone have any thoughts on this?
The red pawn clearly represents Bella full of blood. do you think the white queen is some 'queen' vamp? or Bella after she is changed, as in the vampire thing will rule her life now, etc?

I am so incredibly hooked on these books!! I read the first 3 in 4 days!! Talk about burning the midnight oil!! :eek: I'm STILL trying to catch up on sleep!! :lol:
I think Bella is gonna tangle with Jane, and that the White Queen is representative of that. Jane can't STAND that she has no effect on Bella!
Just my $0.02 :D August can't get here fast enough!! I'm pre-ordering this weekend, for sure!

I just found out Stephenie Meyer will be in Seattle on 12 August for the new book tour "Breaking Dawn" at Benaroyal Hall. I tried to call to get tickets but not on sale yet. I live in Tacoma so Seattle is just a hop skip and a jump for me.
A friend of mine is thinking of going to the one in chicago!
and yeah, that Jane is a piece of work, isnt she?

Tickets go on sale through ticketmaster 21 June 2008. I was told the price was 20.00 a ticket plus whatever handling charge. My daughter and I are going. She has to take the train down from Bellingham for this. She doesn't care, it's worth it! Maybe we could meet and say hi. Jackie

Well I bought my tickets today exactly at 10 a.m. and got the Orchestra level with row G seats 1 and 2. I hope that's a good spot, there was no seating chart. I heard the concert series sold out in an hour or so in NY, LA, and Chicago. I think Seattle is also sold out now. How do you like my new avatar.....just playing around with it. The designer is "Artisan's Designs" I did another one with a red background. the background is by Marcee Duggar and the frame is by Elizabeth Weaver. This is the Cullen Family Crest, you will see the actors wearing it in the movie apparently.

Well, I just got my ticket for the Seattle show, in the Founders Level (1st tier). I bought a single seat at that level, if I'd had 2 tickets together it would have been 3rd tier -- so, while they aren't sold out (yet) tickets are definitely limited!! :)
We should definitely meet up, Song Catcher :D

But after that I was seriously thinking about saying I don't have Twilight so she'd buy me a new copy cause mine is dieing the cover is falling off......actually it already fell of......and the spine is broken, and pages are falling out, but I didn't say that 'cause i'm nice ;D

I have no clue. It looks more like it would be from one of the other 2 books, based on the background. The bg is just how I pictured the Cullen's homestead to look. Not sure what they're getting at/from in your avi, tho. :no:

So, I feel for ya ;)
I thought that's what they'd do with "The Host" too, but I didn't get it til a couple days later.
Of course The Host wasn't worth the wait. Sorry Stephenie.

I can't wait to read todays quote in context!!!
oh oh oh maybe she has a diary that she starts writing in and it writes back and it controls her and makes her kill chickens but she doesn't rememeber any of it afterward ;)
ummmmmm.... wrong book Pinky! hehehehe.
No, I didn't really care for The Host. It took me weeks to read and I'm normally a book eater. It was too long, too drawn out, too much boring nothingness.
Now, I think there was a good story in there. And I LOVED Ian, but it was about 300 pages too long.

Cover Art symbolism revealed!
At tonights Seattle Breaking Dawn Concert Series, Stefenie revealed the symbolism behind the covers...
Twilight - the idea of CHOICE - will Bella choose to live or believe?
New Moon - no symbolism, some publishing drone just thought the tulip was cool...
Eclipse - the difficulty in breaking the fabric of her life & relationships - its never a "clean break"
and
Breaking Dawn - the red pawn is the human Bella: frail, weak, powerless - the Queen is the strong, bold, powerful Bella - and the chessboard is symbolic of the mental game that they had to play to WIN in the end (without loss of life- a true, clear battle with a true, clear winner).
There you have it :) *almost* straight from the author's lips :p
Song Catcher
08-13-2008, 03:01 AM
Hi Seagal, I think I saw you on the tier up from us. I hope you enjoyed the concert. My daughter and I sure did. We were at the very end of the line for the book signing. We gave her a scrapbook with two layouts in it. We also used a Kim Liddiard and Marcee Duggar background for each of the pages. Of course proper credit given. And I also said it was from her fans at DSP. So I included all you gals...
Seagal
08-13-2008, 11:25 AM
Hey Songcatcher :) Yeah, it was nice to be there and hear from Stefanie's point of view some of the back story. I enjoyed myself, but was a tiny bit disappointed. I was somehow under the impression that she was going to do a brief reading. :confused:
I think I may have seen you also - were you on a the end of an aisle, wearing a brown shirt? I was in the first tier, in the front row on an end jutting toward the back.
I skipped out on the book signing - I had been up since 6 and had another early morning today. Wasn't in the mood to battle 2000+ screaming teenage girls any longer :lol: Sorry I never emailed you about meeting up. Until the last minute, I wasn't even sure if I was going to get there as my DH had a meeting and wasn't sure if he was going to be able to watch our son. Luckily for him he made it home, and I made it to the concert :)
Song Catcher
08-13-2008, 12:39 PM
Yes, I knew that was you!! You looked like you were very tired. My daughter was sitting next to me with long blonde hair and skinny as all get out! I guess I looked like that too when I was 20!!! She took the train from Bellingham (where she goes to college) just for the day to see the concert. She goes home today. My husband, daughter and I were discussing where you got your username from. I thought it was Seattle Girl and he thought you were a seahawks fan.... Great name either way! Enjoy the rest of your summer. Jackie
