Subsequent novels
Following the success of Twilight (2005), Meyer expanded the story into a series with three more books: New Moon (2006), Eclipse (2007), andBreaking Dawn (2008). In its first week after publication, New Moon reached #5 on the New York Times Best Seller List for Children's Chapter Books, and in its second week rose to the #1 position, where it remained for the next eleven weeks. In total, it spent over 50 weeks on the list.[26]After the release of Eclipse, the first three "Twilight" books spent a combined 143 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list.[1] The fourth installment of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, was released with an initial print run of 3.7 million copies.[27] Over 1.3 million copies were sold on the first day.[28] The novel also won Meyer her first British Book Award, despite competition with J. K. Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard.[29] The series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide[4] in 37 languages.[30] In 2008, the four books of the series claimed the top four spots on USA Today's year-end bestseller list, making Meyer the first author to ever achieve this feat as well as being the bestselling author of the year.[5] The Twilight novels held the top four spots on USA Today's year-end list again in 2009.[31]
In August 2009, USA Today revealed that Meyer broke J.K. Rowling's record on their bestseller list; the fourTwilight books had spent 52 straight weeks in the top 10.[32] The books have also spent more than 102 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller List.
Upon the completion of the fourth entry in the series, Meyer indicated that Breaking Dawn would be the final novel to be told from Bella Swan's perspective.[33] Midnight Sun was to be a companion novel to the series. It would be a retelling of the events of the novel Twilight, but from the perspective of Edward Cullen (as opposed toBella Swan).[34] Meyer had hoped to have Midnight Sun published some time shortly after the release ofBreaking Dawn, but after an online leak of a rough draft of its first 12 chapters, Meyer chose to delay the project indefinitely.[34][35] Since Meyer has decided to pursue non-Twilight related books as a result of the leak, she made the rough chapters of "Midnight Sun" available on her website.[3
