Have you tried a library? The one in my town has copies of all three books, although availability seems to be an issue.

[Ms_Melika]

The nearest library is 50 minutes away...lol

So no...

I'd rather buy the books so I can read them on my own time you know.

[dukesmom]

How about book swapping? I've heard about it but never tried it. When I did a quick Google search, I found several sites.

BTW - I'm on the 5th book in the Anita Blake series and it's the last one I had purchased.

[Ms_Melika]

I've book swapped with people. But I don't know of anyone that has read the Stephanie Meyer series, willing to swap. Because they are so popular, most don't want to part with the book.

But I do check out a lot of the second hand stores and have found some good reads.

The thing with the library also is that, buy the time I return the books, I have so many late fees charged, I'm better off buying to begin with you know!

I just watched the first episode of True Blood - I liked how Vampires have been accepted into normal life for everyone in the world. They are real and they just want to be treated like every one else.

I just picked this up last night...hopefully I get to watch it today.

[dukesmom]

I thought True Blood wasn't coming out until Fall?

I am almost through with Bloody Bones (Anita Blake #5). I'm also still working on Many Bloody Returns: Tales of Birthday's with Bite. I thought I would get at least one finished on my recent trip, but no. I napped a little too much on the plane.

It became available through alternate sources. Initial thoughts are that it's a neat premise. I'm not sure I like Anna Paquin in it though. Something about her character just rubs me wrong. It'll have it's niche, not sure it caught me though.

Hehehe, naps are good.

[Ms_Melika]

Okay, so I finally bought Twilight and New Moon in soft cover, as the hard cover were to bloody expensive. Eclipse isn't in soft cover yet.

I haven't started reading yet as I want to finish the last few chapters of my Harry Potter book first.

I will let you know what I think!

[dukesmom]

I finished Bloody Bones last night, or rather, early this morning. As soon as I finish Many Bloody Returns: Tales of Birthday's with Bite, I will finally get to Small Favor. Not sure how much vampire activity there will be in SF but odds are there will be some.

eta: The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe is being released directly to DVD on July 29th. Here's the synopsis I found at netflix.com:

After their parents die in a car accident, Chris Emerson (Tad Hilgenbrink) and his sister, Nicole (Autumn Reeser), move in with their quirky Aunt Jillian in her California beach town. Soon Nicole falls for a local surfer, who, unbeknownst to her, is also a vampire. Now Chris finds himself battling the whole gang of vampire surfers in an effort to rescue his sister. Corey Feldman and Corey Haim co-star in this sequel to 1987's Lost Boys.

Other actors include Jamison Newlander (reprising his role as Alan Frog) and Angus Sutherland (half-brother of Kiefer).

Is it on your queue yet?

[John Crichton]

I will have to keep my eyes open for that release.

Were you surprised by the ending of the pilot of True Blood too Jerry? the show also had a lot of course language. I am not just speaking of the 4 letter F word but of the 4 letter C word that is said in it a few times too...

[Ms_Melika]

True Blood has already aired?

When, I can't believe I missed it!?

[dukesmom]

It hasn't aired. Some people used alternate means to watch it. BTW - there is a separate thread for True Blood here: True Blood Appreciation #1: Based on the books by Charlaine Harris, soon on HBO!
