SM Update: Haiti, Book Recommendation, and ‘Dear John’

January 27	SM Update: Haiti, Book Recommendation, and ‘Dear John’
	Posted by Nim

January 27, 2010

Hope your new years have all started off right. A few unrelated things:

- I’ve been very impressed with the world in general and the Twilight fansites in specific in the support and love everyone is giving Haiti. It’s amazing to see how Twilight fans have come together to help. You are wonderful people. At this point, I think it’s important for all of us to remember that the situation in Haiti is not going to be cured overnight, so… keep up the good work, and let’s all keep the Haitians in our thoughts and prayers.

- A new book recommendation: I recently read and adored The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It was one of those books that feel absolutely perfect and satisfying, and when you finish it you sit around wishing that you could find another book just like it.

- I realized that there was an egregious oversight on my music recommendation page. How have I never listed Metric? That’s crazy. Anyway, Fantasies was one of the best albums of 2009.

- Finally, a movie recommendation: Dear John comes out Friday the fifth of February. Thanks to my cool friend Wyck (who many of you have seen in various Twilight Saga interviews, as he is one of the producers on our movies, and who is a producer on Dear John) I got to see this one early. I will confess, I cried. Also, I discovered Channing Tatum, who I’ve somehow missed until now. Likey. Lots. Amanda Seyfried is entrancing as always, and the chemistry (chemistry is always the crux of a movie for me) between them is lovely. Though the chemistry between Channing Tatum and Richard Jenkins (who plays his father) was my favorite part.

Have a great week!

Steph

Dear John does look like it will be really good. I love her comment about Channing Tatum, haha.

	by Jaclyn in January 28 - 3:13 AM

I WANNA SEE DEAR JOHN

I just hope it doesn’t suck…

hopefully it’s as good as the Notebook…

	by Torie in January 28 - 4:43 AM

Oh, yay, she recommended Dear John. She’s awesome

	by Jamie in January 28 - 7:36 AM

Ugh! I thought Dear John was only surface material. I didn’t like it at all. I didn’t think the character had any meat to them.

	by Ali in January 28 - 10:02 AM

Im in the process of reading dear john now. The book is okay so far. not the greatest thing ever, however i still have about 100 pages left. Hopefully the movie will add more character depth

	by Rolo in January 28 - 10:19 AM

Oh, Stephenie. Charming as always. I’ll definitely check out Dear John (both the book and the movie) and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

And my StuCo group in school is trying to get supplies for Haiti, so that’s cool. I love how everyone is helping out.

And Metric’s “Help I’m Alive” is hypnotizing and lovely.

(Haha, Torie. :P)

I’m so excited to see Dear John, though from reading the book I know I will cry buckets! But what Nicholas Sparks book/movie adaptation doesn’t incite the waterworks? Great recommendation, Stephenie!

	by Natasha in January 28 - 11:21 AM

yessssss metric!<3

	by Michelle in January 28 - 12:36 PM

I was already planning on going to watch dear john. I read the book and loved it. Can’t wait!

	by Julie T. in January 28 - 1:18 PM

Oh, God! I already know Dear John is depressing! I read the book! I like happy endings, dammit!!

	by Sarah in January 28 - 11:14 PM

That book is amazing I loved it…I so can’t wait till the movie comes out…I want it to be february 5th already!

You know what? Everything connects back to Twilight! For example, Channing Tatum connects back to TWilight because 1.) He is in Dear John, which is produced by Summit 2.) Melissa Rosenberg recommended him as Riley in Eclipse and 3.) He was Step Up, which Melissa wrote!

Amanda Seyfried:
She presented with Rob during the Oscars last year.

Name anything, and I’ll connect it back to Twilight hahahah WORLD DOMINATION YET AGAIN! lol

Back to the subject….
Dear John looks amaxing! I’ve been DYING to see it….the Notebook is one of my favorite movies! And I think I’m gonna readthe books to Dear John and the Notebook

	by Chasity in January 29 - 1:32 PM

Cannot wait to see the movie!! I am in love with the song used for the trailer..(”set the fire to the third bar”)..
I have to admit I screamed when I saw “from the producers of the twilight saga” (lol!!)
It looks like such a cute story and I am such a hopless romantic..so yeah def. will catch this movie!
