Tegan And Sara Plan Books, Album

Tegan And Sara will publish three books this spring.

The Quin sisters are working on the books with photographers Ryan Russell and Lindsey Byrnes. Emy Storey, who designed the cover of Tegan And Sara's 2007 album The Con, is working on the layout for all the books.

The Quin twins also look set to hit the recording studio soon. Tegan And Sara wrote songs together for the first time in New Orleans at the beginning of December. Photographs from those songwriting sessions will be included in the upcoming books.

"Sara and I just sent 40 songs to Chris Walla and are making plans to record our new record this spring!" Tegan wrote in a Dec. 24 MySpace blog entry. "We can't wait for you to hear what we've been up to!"

Tegan And Sara's still untitled sixth studio album is tentatively scheduled for a fall release.
