Dinning on Borders Bones

As many of you know Borders, my dear and lovely bookstore (not to mention my favorite) is closing down. I hate this fact, but oh well. I supported them for years, and it still didn't keep them from going bankrupt. I will forever miss you, oh dear holy house of books.

Having paid my respects, now comes the juicy part. I went to Borders to help them a bit more. When I went they had everything 40%-60% off, and oh gosh did I take advantage!

I got all the titles listed below, which are:

All You Desire, sequel to The Eternal Ones

With a much prettier cover. Can't wait to read this one!

Slices of Cherry, "sequel" to Bleeding Violet

Bleeding Violet was creepy and awesome, though it left me hanging a bit at the end.

Will Slices of Cherry live up to my high standards?

IF the cover is any indicator I would say hell yeah!

Echoes

Girl who can read minds with an extremely appealing cover,

who wouldn't have bought it?

Rampant

I have the sequel, but haven't read this one... I might as well.

Jealousy and Defiance

I started this series and never really continued it. I always said "Oh, I'll buy it later" but later never seem to come. Now I got both! Time to catch up!

My Soul to Take and My Soul to Save

Everybody tells me this series is awesome, so I bought the first two books (I kind of have the others). I know I get frustrated when people don't follow my advise to read a great series, so I'm following the advice of friends and finally going for a spin on this gravy train.

Broken

Aaaam... Too steamy for this blog, so don't expect a full on review, but nevertheless expect some kind of comment. Megan Hart is a terrific author.

The Vampire Dimitri

An impulse buy! The title has it all, vampire, Dimitri... I can't wait to read about another Dimitri. It's kind of the second one in the series, but I don't think it matter much from what I read from the summary.

The Morganville Vampires:

Feast of Fools, Lord of Misrule, Carpe Corpus, Morganville Vampires: Volume 4 (The Morganville Vampires #7-8 Omnibus; Fade Out and Kiss of Death)

I started reading this series ages ago, and then just stopped. It didn't hold my attention as others did. But now I'm back and I'm willing to give it another shot.

I Heart You, You Haunt Me

I've wanted to read this one for the longest time. I love the cover, and it's written in verse!

So, that was my haul. The total came up to $112, which is pretty cheap for so many books! Specially with two hardcovers thrown in the mix. Now Borders is going up to 50% off... I'm going back... soon!

Have you been able to pick through Borders ashes? What did you get? Are you going soon, or did Borders already close it's doors next to you?

The Hunger Games News: First Footage at VMAs, and now also at Bloody Bookaholic

You all watched it hopefully, I know I did. I watched LIL WAYNE in order to watch this footage, no one can say I'm not committed.

I thought it was exciting. I was having a dinner party when the VMAs were going on and so when the footage started I just immediately shut everybody up, and flew over to the front of the T.V. People thought I was insane, but I don't care! I hadn't been this excited ever since the Harry Potter trailers. Then, it started.

I saw Katniss in action! I thought she was phenomenal! I mean, the footage wasn't that much, or that long even, but it's not exactly a REAL ass trailer. It's just a bit of footage. I wanted some Peeta, Gale and Haymitch, but it was good enough for now.

Did you guys see the part of the book where the trees in the arena caught fire?! I saw that and I was like screaming my ass off in delight. I CAN'T WAIT.

What did you think about it, guys and girls? What did it left out that you really wanted to see? Was it all you thought it would be, and more?

Remember guys, footage of The Hunger Games tonight!

Put that TV on MTV!!
