Haha, im trying to get her to read it. The first one was okay, but it got so much better! (There are only 4 books to the series)

What i liked best? the relationship between Carrie and Nathan

Spoiler:

Also Nathan's Son, he is cool. And its wierd, Cyrus i hated him in the first book, but he wasn't so bad in the end.

Did you guys hear they are doing a TV Movie on the Anita Blake books?

I wonder how they are going to manage that one.

They're doing a TV movie on the Anita Blake books?

Not sure how they'll be able to manage that, not exactly something I see easily transfered into a movie

IFC is teaming with Lionsgate for a TV movie based on the "Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter" books. The telefilm could be the basis for more Blake projects if successful.

Laurell K. Hamilton's novels, at 16 books and counting, include elements familiar to fans of "True Blood" (vampires are part of regular society) and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (tough young female fights supernatural forces). The project will be adapted by Glen Morgan ("The X-Files," "Final Destination"), who also is an executive producer with Courtney Solomon ("Dungeons & Dragons").

IFC is targeting the movie to its core base of men 18-34 and plans to air it next year.

"The popularity of the network in this demographic indicates that there is a clear demand for films that delve into provocative topics, and nothing is more classically provocative than vampire lore," said Jennifer Caserta, executive vp and GM of IFC. "Anita Blake fits perfectly with our successful original programming."

So maybe they'll base the first TV movie off the first book, if it becomes successful they'll do the same for the next? But man, that would be going on forever..

I don't know how they will do this.

Aw, that's a shame but it happens

Sometimes you just can't get into books others like a look.

Maybe ebsides the 'missing' romance, there wasn't enough vamps as well?

I can't wait to read the third book though

I hope it'll be less expensive soon, so I can order it.

Stay to the Lights · 04-05-2009, 12:41 AM

Yeah, that could be it also. I guess, just Magic related stuff doesn't always do it for me
