A guy reads Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (2009-2011)

twilightguy.com: 1 Year Later

by Kaleb Nation

by Kaleb Nation

My first year in the Twilight fandom has been one of the best years of my life. It is impossible to thank each of you enough, especially Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight Lexicon for everything they have done to welcome me into this enormous family of fans, ever since the very first post. To show my appreciation to the readers who have kept me going, I’m giving away a copy of New Moon, signed by Stephenie Meyer herself. You can comment on this post or on the video itself: I’ll pick a winner early next week by random number choice. NOTE: if the new comment system deletes your comment, don’t panic! It’s learning what is spam and what isn’t: I can still see your entry anyway.

As I’m sure many of you have realized, my days as an active part of the Twilight fandom are numbered. I’m on Breaking Dawn now. Starting this Fall, I’ll have my own fandom and readers to take care of. But you can be sure I’ll never forget how much the Twilight fandom welcomed me — and at the rate I’m reading, we still have some time ahead!

And now, for those of you who have fun at my BlogTV shows (and anyone who might enjoy some special extra surprises for today!)…

  4. Look at all these crazies sucking up just to get a signed book!!! What a bunch of brown-nosers.

    Um… can I have it? Thanks.

    No, wait- I'm not falling in line. I don't care what awesome give-aways you have. You can't make me tell you how awesome your site is… NEVER!!!

    Aw, shucks. I really want that book. And I do read your posts often. Crap. There goes my pride. I'm even starting to have a facination with gnomes lately & don't know why. Damn that Kaleb Nation. He knows how to brainwash people.

  5. I became a twilight fan not so long ago. but the minute i began reading it i became obssssessssed !
    I dragged my husband to go watch the movie with me the minute i finished reading the first book.
    at about midnight after the movie we went to walmart to go buy the rest of the books and i read them all that weekend.
    (I seriously don't know how you do it to keep yourself from not reading more than 1 chapter at a time)
    I began googling twilight at work and found your site and almost peed cuz i was laughing so hard.
    I went through all the chapter post in less than 2 hours. I couldn't stop reading and i've been a devoted fan
    of twilight guy ever since.

    Congratulations on your 1 yr anniversary. I'm truly gonna miss your thoughts on the chapters when you finish reading Breaking Dawn but who knows, Stephenie Meyer will hopefully finish writing Dark High Noon 🙂 i would love to know what you think of Edward's perspective.

    Thanks for everything Kaleb =]

  6. OMG A SIGNED COPY OF NEW MOON?! PLZ PLZ PLZ CAN I HAVE IT??? ID BE SOOOO GRATEFUL !!!!!!!! IM BEGGING

  9. I want your signed copy of new moon for my husband Hal because he has become a big fan of SM. But he didn't start liking her from her books. He went to BYU with her and he even has pictures of her from back then, as well as my cousin. They all lived close to each other. My husband said his roommate went on some dates with her. He told me she was really cool. So……. that is why I want your copy. If you ever want to see the pictures just let me know.
    Thanks Kristel Shields

  11. That is so awesome Kaleb! Thank you so much for starting twilightguy.com! You have added so much to this fandom! I can't wait to read your book!!!!! 🙂

And I'm sad that it's all gonna get over …………I am going to miss all your posts!!! And man your music is great!!! And I really wouldnt mind if I could win that new moon copy!!! :P……..i will really miss your posts Kaleb!!!

  13. Don't tell me the site is closing down after Breaking Dawn ends!!!!!?? :O:O:O:O

  14. Happy Anniversary Twilight Guy, love your site, would love to get your copy of New Moon.

  15. Happy 1 year! What an amazing year you had!! Your book looks interesting. Can't wait to read it.

  16. Happy one year anniversary! If this happened to me, I would be pretty shocked too! Anyway, I love your website and all of the others and am pretty excited that we still have time left. Hope your books get as popular as the Twilight Sage (but not more popualer of course ;-]… who knows? Maybe I'll WANT it bigger than twilight @.o) and that you become a really famous author for it. You as a person, as far as I've seen, deserve it. =]

    (p.s. Love the cover!)

    I am SO excited to run out and get your book, but I can't believe there is still so much time left to wait!

    <3 Em

  27. Wow… I would die if I got that book, in contrast to most twilight fans (and especially the Team Edward fans of whom I count myself among) New Moon is my favorite book. Please! I want it.

    btw I love the cover art for your book, it looks fantastic.

  29. Congratulations with your first year as the Twilight guy! It's really fin that a guy reads Twilight and blogs about it – escpecially the way you do! You notice tiny things in the book and when you write about it I and many others get to know them too:D I'm from Norway and I absolutely love Twilight, Stephenie Meyer has the greatest imagionation of all times!! I would love to get a signed copy from her, it's amazing that you're giving it away to someone randomly, but very generous of you^^ You're lucky to have met Stephenie and the cast. Keep going and please read and blog about Midnight Sun after you've finished Breaking Dawn!!

    Keep up the good work and again, happy one-year! ;D

  30. Oh no, Kaleb!
    It is so sad that your Twilight fandom days are numbered!!
    But, at least myself will be part of your new fandom for Bran Hambric.
    I can't wait for your show tonight, I'll be tuned in!
    Sincerely,
    Beth 'BranHambricFan' 🙂

  31. It's been a good year reading your musings, Kaleb! I've been reading TwilightGuy from the beginning. I look forward to what you may give the world in the years to come.

  32. It's been a good year reading your musings, Kaleb! I've been reading TwilightGuy from the beginning. I look forward to what you may give the world in the years to come.

  35. haha, your welcome! its hard to believe it been a year but also hard to believe you haven't finished all the books yet!

  36. aww great job on 1 year kaleb!! 😀 and as for that new moon contest, my book is falling apart 😉

  38. “…this new site made me laugh buckets”
    stephenie is hilarious lol xD

    ~happy 1 year! 😀

  39. Congratulations on 1 year on twilightguy.com! What is going to happen to the site once Breaking Dawn is finished?

  40. hey, twilight guy i love the sincerity you have professed in the 1 yr anniversary video. I would love to own a signed copy of New Moon. My copy's binding is falling apart. I have read the Saga twice already including Host which you should look into as soon as you finish breaking dawn. I am starting to read it for the third time and would love to have this particular copy to add to my collection. please consider me

  41. Happy Anniversary Twiight Guy and the whole Kaleb Nation! I love your chapter comments (even if I don't always agree with them) and especially the male perspective. I laughed hysterically when I first started reading them. I hope you just keep writing. New Moon is the only book in my Twilight Saga that I don't have signed so I would adore a signed copy. But anyway, hang in there and Happy Anniversary!

  42. Hmmm… Hi!! I really do not know what to say…. just that New Moon is the best book ever!! NM is my fav. heehee… And also I cannot wait to read your book! It seems to be interesting! =] Congratulations and Hope you do well! XOXO

    I WANT THE NEW MOON BOOK! heehee =}

  44. Super late, i know, but i've had limited access to the internet. Taking 4 ap's do that for you >.<
    But I just wanted to say congrats. You're witty, thoughtful, and insightful. Thank you for emphasizing for Jacob even though there were times I could tell you couldn't stand him, and thanks for the GREAT song choices. Near To You was perfect for New Moon, &your latest one by Anberlin (favorite band) MAKES MY DAY.

    anyways,

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

  45. Congrats on your success!!! I appreciate your hard work and energy and love reading your posts! Your ROCK!

  48. Wow, its so amazing that one guy can just do some cool stuff and kinda climb up to the place where you are at, like you did!
    I admire the work you have done so much!
    Anyway, I hope I'll some day get to win these fun contest you are holdin; and one more thing, thanks so much for holding them!
    <3 Monisxox

  49. So this is actually my first time visiting your site…but I like it! I just discovered the books and the movie like, 2 weeks ago. AND I'M OBSESSED.

  50. OMG!!! 🙂 I love the twilight series soooo much. The lastbookis my fav because of what happenes. I also think it is themost exciting. I am really happy so many people like it because i am crazy about Twilight and my friends thought it was weird because i wouldlook it up on youtube and have a pic of them on computer. Also Happy 1 year!!! i am soooo jealus of you because Stephanie Meyer seems really nice and it would be cool to meet her. Bye:)
