I can't get me any new books...no monies.

However, I have pre-ordered Fullmetal Alchemist vol. 24 from Amazon. It's not gonna be here until January though! :cry:

MedievalBeauty 11-07-2010 01:21 AM

hey everyone. I finished reading dark flame: the immortals by alyson noel and I must say it is my kind of book to read. It's really good. :) Lots of twists and turns, which is great. Just reading a magazine now because I need some light reading before I continue on to reading the vampire lestat by anne rice.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god OH MY GOD!!!! :squee:!!! GUESS WHAT I FOUND AT THE BOOKSTORE!!! Jack McDevitt came out with another Alex Benedict novel called Echo!! I am soooo Excited right now!!!! :XD *does a little dance all around the room* AHHH!!! And what a pristine copy too! Yay!!

Taiyo - January?! Well... That's not too far away. I feel your pain though. The game Portal 2 doesn't come out until February :( oh and I got a copy of the first book from that lady you were talking about! I'm gonna try and read a little of it tonight.

Beauty - Hey Beauty! *goes to look up your book* That sounds like a fun read. I'll put that on my to read pile *pile starts too wobble in danger of toppling over* Seems like it only ever gets bigger... >.<! lol. I just saw Anne Rice's vampire books at the book store today! I remember my elder siblings reading them but I was too young/not-born-yet to read them :P

TaiyoTsuki 11-07-2010 02:10 AM

@ Carn: Trust me, you won't be dissapointed by Kenyon's work. :)

Car'a'Carn 11-07-2010 06:41 AM

Well I like it so far! Had some good funny parts already XD

MedievalBeauty 11-07-2010 06:50 AM

Carn: I haven't read any of anne rice's books before but I will as soon as I'm in the mood to read again.

Baxter 11-07-2010 06:51 AM

MedievalBeauty 11-07-2010 06:52 AM

Baxter 11-07-2010 06:53 AM

:glomp: thanks beauty!

MedievalBeauty 11-07-2010 06:56 AM

You're welcome.

I'm finding it hard to finish reading something light so I think I'll stop for the day or something.

TaiyoTsuki 11-07-2010 07:54 AM

@ Carn: Sounds like you're getting to the part where Julian is confrimed as a girl magnet...

AishaLeigh 11-07-2010 02:03 PM

i have the majority of the vampire chronicles by anne rice. i haven't read the mayfield witch chronicles though. haven't interest me nor the new stuff she's been writing.

Iltu 11-07-2010 04:49 PM

Best of luck, Baxter!
I love Fahrenheit 451 and The Hobbit. :)

Car'a'Carn 11-07-2010 07:50 PM

Taiyo - lol Maybe not that far. Just into chapter 2. Look out! Slow reader comin through! XD

Baxter - Welcome Welcome! Lol I saw your avi and was like "Crap! did something happen to my avi?" then I realized it was someone else with the same hair style :P Nice outfit too!

AishaLeigh & Beauty - I'm kinda curious to read them sometime. I've heard they are pretty good stories.

TaiyoTsuki 11-07-2010 08:45 PM

I'm back on. Watching Doctor Who at the moment...or at least trying to. :-x

Baxter 11-07-2010 08:50 PM

@Iltu: Thanks! ^_^ I love them too! Did you know they're finally making the hobbit as a movie? :drool:
@Car'a'Carn: pfft! I know what you mean! I was like "When did I get awesome clothes and who dressed me!?"

TaiyoTsuki 11-07-2010 09:45 PM

@ Baxter: Took 'em long enough!

Car'a'Carn 11-07-2010 10:13 PM

Taiyo - This book is great! XD Grace is so funny. Tryin to watch Dr. Who? Does someone keep changing the channel?

Baxter - All I can say is you have good taste in hair styles my friend! :P lol I can't take credit for any of my avi though. I had it designed for my by Estrella. She's really good at makin avis.

TaiyoTsuki 11-07-2010 10:23 PM

@ Carn: No, the video wouldn't stop buffering. I'm using a different player now though.

Iltu 11-07-2010 11:37 PM

Baxter- I know, I'm so excited! I think they're making two movies for it.

TaiyoTsuki 11-08-2010 12:10 AM

Wait..TWO movies for The Hobbit?

Iltu 11-08-2010 01:16 AM

Yep! I think it was originally planned that way, and then there was hullabaloo about it and it was one movie and now, as far as I know, it's two again. A lot happens in that little book!

TaiyoTsuki 11-08-2010 01:18 AM

Got that right. It's either that or it'll be one movie with two DVDs, like what they did with Two Towers when it came out in VHS.

Then again, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is doing the same thing. There's too much in the book to leave out, and The Hobbit is the same way.

Iltu 11-08-2010 01:28 AM

I heard they're doing it that way with Breaking Dawn as well, but since I don't follow Twilight, I'm not sure if that's true.

TaiyoTsuki 11-08-2010 01:50 AM

If it's to do with Twilight, then I don't give a damn. The books are crap. I've only read the first one, but if a series doesn't catch my attention at the first book and give me something worth reading there, then I won't continue with it.
