The Twilight Lexicon (Lex) has been shut down until August 7. I was quite sad yesterday when I found this out. Luckily, Anna, someone I’ve become really good friends with, e-mailed me with her MSN Messenger name before it shut down so we can still talk. I would’ve missed talking to her the most.

The Lex has been shut down due to an Eclipse shipping error on Barnes & Noble’s part. A lot of the fans who pre-ordered Eclipse through Barnes & Noble will receive their book today or within the next couple of days, even though the scheduled release date isn’t until August 7. (I’m so jealous.) Because of the leaks that occurred with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Stephenie Meyer asked the Lex to shut down until the release to help prevent spoilers.

I’m very grateful that everyone’s trying to keep spoilers down to a minimum because I don’t want the book spoiled for me.  But, at the same time, I feel … so … disconnected. But, there are only 12 days left, which isn’t too long of a time to wait.
