Anna, no I started a thread about True Blood. It's a show soon to be on HBO based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris, which I highly recommend

Mandy, if you end up reading the Merry series, let me know what you think about it Oh, I've read Tithe Overall I liked the storyline, and the new unseelie king Guess we are all avid readers here, heh

You and the cake Anna. I'm still so jealous.

Yeah, I'm a super avid reader. I bought White Night (Dresden #9, paperback) by Jim Butcher, The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova (in hardcover), and Cursor's Fury (Codex Alera # 3) by Jim Butcher yesterday. If you like Dresdan Andie and like constructed worlds like Lord of the Rings it's a very good series. I just finished Jasper Fforde's The 4th Bear yesterday and he's hilarious - Nursury Crime book. I'd recommend that and his better series - Thursday Next - to anyone. He's a wonderful thinking/reading persons novelist.

I can see why, I don't exactly like him either, I just love to watch him.

Speaking of TV, everyone should watch the BBC pilot Being Human *points at icon* it's about a vampire, werewolf and ghost that live together, which sounds cheesy, but it's quite balanced with light and dark stuff.
And it has gorgeous vampires, and the adorable Russell Tovey as a werewolf, and if it doesn't get picked up for a full series it will be a crying shame.

Yeah, I've read it. I found it really boring, to be honest- didn't capture my interest in the slightest.

I haven't read it Sacha but I've wanted to. It had one of those heavily lauded books in the front of the bookstore for the longest time. It usually takes me a long time to get to those. Case in point, I only read The Alchemist like a year or so ago and it was like "the book" in the front of the bookstore for a year before that.

Yay! I knew you'd love it, it really is awesome, I've watched it around three times now, so it just has to get picked up, otherwise the BBC will have a very unhappy fangirl.

Hey Val!! welcome back!

I know! I've watched it about 3 times now as well! just Mitchell&George are WIN, George in the house and Annie is hilarious! I loved the end when they were in the pub! What she says about Hufflepuff

You were right about the balance between light and dark stuff, they did it really well!
I think i'm going to have to change my icon to a Being Human one

Well they will have TWO unhappy fangirls if they dont pick it up!
