    I bought the latest Dan Brown book, The Lost Symbol but haven't started it yet :oops:

    Before that I think the last book I read was Dewey or The Lost City of Z.

    I'm going to buy "Under the Dome" by Stephen King tonight and start reading that. I am about halfway through "Dracula" right now and it is really good!



    I've just begun reading it. It's very...umm...King so far.

    Do you like it? I'm on page 38 and really liking it.

    Yes, I checked to see when it was published and it's this year for paperback, hardback last year. Not too far through it yet and not quite sure. I really like the ones I've read with Rebus in and this is (so far) more based around the people committing the crime. I'm not totally into it yet but I usually enjoy his books so I'm giving it some time.

    I got it on offer with a Jeffrey Deaver book 2 for £8 in Morrisons (oops never checked if you were over here, if you're not ignore that bit)

    :D

    i found bella and elena to be equally annoying. the way elena set her sights on stefan made me want to slap her. i didnt find her a likeable character at all. i really need to finish my own. *sigh*

    Yeah, I agree. Both were very annoying. I thought that it was just because they were teenaged girls ;) However, I think that both author's successfully reflected the shallowness and selfishness of many seventeen year-old girls :roll: ;):D I found the fifth Harry Potter book the same. All whiny, and "what about me, me, me!" So, I guess the explains the appeal for many young adults.

    On a more important note . . . You're writing a Vampire book :o :shock: :P :P :P :P I do hope that you will publish, and soon!!!!!

    yeah i thought perhaps elena was just a teenage girl horning after a guy. bella i found insipid.

    oh and i totally agree with you on .. the half blood prince


    oh no not a vampire story per se. the main character isnt a vamp. shes somethings else. but there are vamps in it and they do play a sizeable role. truth be told ive been working on it on and off for several years. i just get distracted way too easily.

    got my preordered Under the Dome - Stephen King last week. Started reading it yesterday. Awesome book so far. Only about 50 pages in, and it is really good.
