okay, guys, heres the thing. i can't go five minutes
"litteraly" without thinking about how much i love stephanie
meyer, though i'm not a fan of the actors or the movie
because all they do is play the part. but stephenie meyer is
the real hero. i've read twilight 10 times, new moon 5
times, eclipse 9 times, and breaking dawn 3 times. my life
will not be complete until i can publish one of my own
books, though i'm onl 12, almost 13. i write childrens
books, novels, and i type them all on my step dad's laptop.
i'm writing a book now that's inspired by stephenie meyer,
and it's called "benieth the rose." i cry every night
because i have a gut feeling that i will never get to meat
her. :( my name is [name removed] by the way, i turn 13 october 22,
and if i dont meat her soon, i know that i will never get to
tell her my story. stephanie meyer if you come across this,
i just need to tell you somthing then i'll back off. my
question is, can your beliefs, or your heart, if it truly
speaks to you, can a , happen. like meeting stephanie meyer?
god bless you, [name removed]

Thank you for this service! I hope you don't mind if I
have 3 questions. I am an ESL LINC4 teacher of adult
immigrants and was inspired at our recent conference to
consider teaching an unabridged novel to my students. This
was tried successfully at a school in Edmonton and greatly
enhanced the students learning and confidence. My question
is this: Since I know you have book club materials available
at the Calgary Public Libraries, is it possible to borrow 21
copies of Tuck Everlasting or To Kill a Mockingbird for my
class. Most if not all do have library cards. Also, do you
have the movies available for either of these novels and do
you happen to have a recorded audio version for them to
listen to? The last question: would it be possible to borrow
such materials for an extended period - perhaps double the
usual lending period or even longer if necessary? Thank you
for your time. Sincerely Debbie Crosby

Just as someone inquired in Question #66088, I am hoping
to find out the definition a christiana, as mentioned in the
movie White Christmas. The person who asked this question
before said that Danny Kaye says, "The christianas must be
beautiful this time of year." The line is actually spoken by
Bing Crosby and reads, "It might not be bad at that, you
know, the snow covered slopes, the skiing, the christianas,
the (something), the (something), the shooshing." I couldn't
find it anywhere online, so I wonder if I'm not spelling it
correctly. Do you think it might be a skiing term or a word
in another language? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
