Stuff to Blog About and More: The Twilight Series

Today I welcome Bess from Bella and Edward's Twilight blog.
She will be writing several posts as a guest post writer about the Stephanie Meyer Twilight book series.

Hello!
In case you have not heard, there is a new phenomenon in the world of reading.
It's all about the Twilight series of books.

There are four books in the series.
Eclipse, New Moon, Breaking Dawn and Twilight.
Three are on most best seller lists and the fourth is on the pre-order best seller lists. It will be released on August 2nd.

I know that there may be a few people who have not read the Twilight series books. If you are looking for a reason to try the books, here is a simple recommendation. The Twilight series makes for phenomenal reading.

The story goes like this.
Bella Swan has always been a little bit different.
Bella never fit in with the other girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and sent Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change.

When Bella meets the mysterious Edward Cullen everything changes.
For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. Edward isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than anything, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands and he hasn't aged since 1918.

Edward is a vampire.
He's immortal but, he doesn't have fangs and he doesn't drink human blood.

To Edward, Bella is a soul mate that he has waited 90 years for. Her scent can drive him crazy.

Laurent and James, Edward's mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for Bella.

Twilight is an addictive modern Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal.

For more information about the series, you can visit my blog.
Shakespere has invited me back for a series of guest posts as well.

Thanks and happy reading!
Bess

FTC: Your Rights: Credit Reporting

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to provide you with a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, has prepared a brochure, Your Access to Free Credit Reports, explaining your rights under the FCRA and how to order a free annual credit report.

A credit report includes information on where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you've been sued, arrested, or filed for bankruptcy. Nationwide consumer reporting companies sell the information in your report to creditors, insurers, employers, and other businesses that use it to evaluate your applications for credit, insurance, employment, or renting a home.

How do I order my free report?

You can order your free annual credit report online at annualcreditreport.com, by calling 1-877-322-8228, or by completing the Annual Credit Report Request Form and mailing it to: Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.

When you order, you need to provide your name, address, Social Security number, and date of birth. To verify your identity, you may need to provide some information that only you would know, like the amount of your monthly mortgage payment.

A Warning About "Imposter" Sites

The FTC advises consumers who order their free annual credit reports online to be sure to correctly spell annualcreditreport.com, or link to it from the FTC's website to avoid being misdirected to other websites that offer supposedly free reports,but only with the purchase of other products. While consumers may be offered additional products or services while on the authorized website, they are not required to make a purchase to receive their free annual credit reports.
