Is the movie good? I read the book in December last year and loved it, but I didn't want to see the film until after I'd finished the book and just haven't found time to see it yet.

I personally liked the movie better. The ending in the book made things too complicated. I got a clearer message of what Susie needed to move on from the ending in the movie. Well, that's my opinion anyway. Though I think my mom and sis both felt the same way as me.

Hi Again! I know I haven't been around. I've been busy with work and also indulging my addiction to Soccer. LOL!

I've since finished reading Burned from the House of Night series. It was OK. I have also finished reading Passing Strange from the Generation Dead series by Dan Waters. That story is still good. But I was disappointed with the turn one character took. I wasn't impressed and I thought it was just for shock value and to pander to certain demographics. I just hope he doesn't continue to make that part of the character a central thing from here on out.

I'm currently reading - and it's slow going - the Stephenie Meyer novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. It's alright. I should hurry up and finish it so I can move on to other books I have.

I loved the movie. I actually like it more than the book which I think is overrated.

Cool, I'll definitely have to look into getting/seeing the movie then

I started reading Dark Flame last night. I'm being a little impatient so I skimmed the last page but it didn't make any sense to me so I guess I'm just gonna have to read it from beginning to end to find out what happens lol.

5 yrs ago I wasn't reading. Well unless you count magazines lol. I didn't start reading again until May 2009 when I picked up New Moon after watching Twilight. Been reading ever since

I haven't been to any book signings. I really want to se RM. I hope she makes a bigger tour in December and comes close enough to me that I can go. I think you should go to Maggie's. She seems like she'd be fun

Yeah, I'd really like to go see MS. It'd be nice if she would sign my Shiver and Ballad.

I saw RM in Houston last year and then in Seattle this year. Both times were pretty awesome. It's awesome just getting to see her. If she ever makes it out your way, you should definitely see her!!

I would love to see Ms so far i have shiver linger and Ballad, it would be awesome to get them signed. what are her tour dates or where can I find them?

Actually I think yesterday was the last day of the tour... But I believe she'll be touring again later this year. So check the dates on her appearances page and see if she's going to be near you.
Here are MS's tour dates:

I just started and finished Jealousy yesterday

It was good I liked it. Strange Angel's is a good series :3 if you haven't read it yet has a strong female character like Rose kind of.

Now idk what to read. I have been rereading series. . .

So Jealous! (haha...not to be confused by the title) I'm going to have to buy Jealousy soon, I love the strange angels series, I think it has a very good storyline.


Currently I'm reading "From Dead to Worse" (Sookie Stackhouse bk8)
I might have to limit my fun reading though...I can see it becoming a problem with uni stuff *sigh*

HPDH I have to read it before the movie comes out!

I started rereading all the HP books when I'm waiting on library books that I'm not sure I want to buy. Up to to the prisoner of azakan now. Don't think I'm going to get to deathly hallows b4 the movie comes out though.

I'm FINALLY finished the 7th Sookie book now I'm reading World War Z

I'm reading The Shack by William P. Young. It's quite interesting. Requires a lot of concentration, though

5 years ago.. idk, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Princes Diaries..? Stuff like that, I guess. Don't blame me, I was 10

I'm reading Nightrise by Anthony Horowitz. It's really good actually. It's the third book in The Power Of Five series.

I'm re-reading the first Sookie Stackhouse book.

I finished Dark Flame yesterday. It was pretty good. Can't wait for Nightstar to come out in November. I'm going ot start reading the Wake series by Lisa McMann today.

Good thinking....but they aren't suppose to cut anything from the book , that's why they are splitting it in two movies...of course that the movie wont be exactly like the book , but yeah I know what you mean and I', re-reading it , cuz I want to make sure I don't miss anything out!

Yeah, I think I'll reread it, too, before the movies comes out. I'll be really pissed off if they leave something out again - they have no excuses this time.

I just reread HP7 a few weeks ago. I had forgot how much happens in it. I'm super excited for the movie. I hate how we'll have to wait 8 months in between them though.

I should probably re-read HP7 too...but it makes me cry so much. Oh well, it'd be worth it.

I read it when it came out. I don't even remember wtf happens in it. I doubt I'll reread it anytime soon, though I probably should if I wanna follow what's happening in the movie.
