Teen Peep Event 4.1.10

Attention Twihards!

Stephenie Meyer recently announced the title and release date of her Bree Tanner spin-off novella: It's called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner and it's due out on June 7, 2010. Additionally, from the release date until July 5th, fans can read the book for free by going to www.breetanner.com.

According to its item page on Amazon.com, the novella will tell "the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion."

Hmm, what do you think? Are you excited? Beyond ecstatic? A little underwhelmed? Or are you over it?
