Z0rPr1me (7:22:54 PM): MMMMM sex... hehe QueenSidhe (7:23:06 PM): I'm hoping the next book will go back to some kind of mystery type thing. Z0rPr1me (7:23:17 PM): well this one was nice and I like the gore!!! and she did wrote the word fucking at one place... which is cool Z0rPr1me (7:23:24 PM): Brownie point for Hamilton :) Z0rPr1me (7:23:57 PM): Should i read the books in order?

LOL QueenSidhe (7:28:11 PM): I think my favorite in the series is Burnt Offerings. QueenSidhe (7:28:18 PM): Sure, we could do that. :0 QueenSidhe (7:28:21 PM): :) Z0rPr1me (7:28:28 PM): How old is Anita ? they say it in this first book? maybe I missed it Z0rPr1me (7:28:36 PM): I guess she is around 25 QueenSidhe (7:28:47 PM): yeah, something around there. QueenSidhe (7:29:12 PM): there was mention in the Edward book how she'd probably be dead by 30 if she kept up with the way things were. KWM01 (7:29:17 PM): back QueenSidhe (7:29:19 PM): wb Z0rPr1me (7:29:23 PM): wb Z0rPr1me (7:29:25 PM): hehe QueenSidhe (7:29:45 PM): What do you say, Kelvin, we read the entire Anita Blake series together?

KWM01 (7:30:47 PM): The last book I read wasn't the good QueenSidhe (7:30:55 PM): which one? QueenSidhe (7:31:01 PM): Narcissis in Chains? KWM01 (7:31:04 PM): yup QueenSidhe (7:31:23 PM): That was the epitome(?) of just sex and power trip. :P KWM01 (7:31:39 PM): :-)seem like QueenSidhe (7:31:55 PM): A couple months before that book came out, I went and got the romance antho that had the first 10(?) chapters of that book. Z0rPr1me (7:31:58 PM): lol QueenSidhe (7:32:12 PM): Sucked big. And I thought it was a very bad intro to Anita for new readers. Z0rPr1me (7:32:20 PM): her website sux btw Z0rPr1me (7:32:22 PM): just went there QueenSidhe (7:32:35 PM): If I had read that cold, I wouldn't have picked up anything by Hamilton. QueenSidhe (7:32:41 PM): which website? QueenSidhe (7:32:46 PM): .org one? Z0rPr1me (7:32:46 PM): laurellkhamilton.com Z0rPr1me (7:32:52 PM): doh Z0rPr1me (7:33:02 PM): thats why it sux Z0rPr1me (7:33:04 PM): rofl KWM01 (7:33:06 PM): yeah, the first ten chapters was lacking in any back story Z0rPr1me (7:33:07 PM): me is dumber QueenSidhe (7:33:52 PM): And it was basically just sex and then you end it in a cliffhanger where she doesn't want sex with the guys anymore. :P KWM01 (7:34:08 PM): true QueenSidhe (7:34:23 PM): the .com site is maintained by Random House and is just for her fae books. Z0rPr1me (7:34:26 PM): btw that book made me want to play Resident Evil on my gameCube!!! I will surely play this weekend ROFL Z0rPr1me (7:34:35 PM): and kick some zombies ass KWM01 (7:34:42 PM): lol QueenSidhe (7:34:59 PM): rofl Z0rPr1me (7:35:28 PM): btw my cover says Romance and Horror... I didnt saw a lot of romance QueenSidhe (7:35:31 PM): I like Asher though. :) Z0rPr1me (7:35:35 PM): maybe once in the car with Phillips QueenSidhe (7:35:37 PM): Later in the series. KWM01 (7:35:44 PM): romance comes later Z0rPr1me (7:35:51 PM): okies QueenSidhe (7:35:54 PM): And then romance goes away and just sex. QueenSidhe (7:36:04 PM): I think I've said that too much now. :p Z0rPr1me (7:36:04 PM): LOL KWM01 (7:36:12 PM): :-) QueenSidhe (7:36:38 PM): I left my copy of the book in my sisters' rooms and they thought "Eeeeww! It's a romance book!" QueenSidhe (7:36:52 PM): I have the new cover where it looks like a naked body and a rose. Z0rPr1me (7:36:52 PM): ROFL Z0rPr1me (7:36:58 PM): same QueenSidhe (7:37:35 PM): The previous cover art was kinda ugly though. I think they had a picture of Jean-Claude but he looked like a zombie more than a handsome vamp created by Belle Mort. QueenSidhe (7:37:38 PM): Morte Z0rPr1me (7:37:48 PM): heh QueenSidhe (7:38:22 PM): They were an ugly series of covers. QueenSidhe (7:38:33 PM): I liked the ones used for Killing Dance and Burnt Offerings. QueenSidhe (7:38:44 PM): Then they switched to bodies. KWM01 (7:39:22 PM): I wonder if they could find a balanced cover for romance and horror QueenSidhe (7:40:21 PM): I think the bodies is as close as you can get? QueenSidhe (7:40:39 PM): I remember J.D. Robb used to have green body parts on her covers. QueenSidhe (7:41:02 PM): After awhile, I think she said on her homepage that there was only so much you could do with a green body. lol Z0rPr1me (7:41:26 PM): the new cover are nice, IMO Z0rPr1me (7:41:42 PM): well better than the old one... They are very classy?! KWM01 (7:41:53 PM): maybe a Fabio cover with a graveyard and zombies in the background:-) Z0rPr1me (7:41:57 PM): next one in the series is laughing corpse? Z0rPr1me (7:42:04 PM): Kelvin - LOL QueenSidhe (7:43:18 PM): Yup. It's all listed on that .org site. Z0rPr1me (7:44:52 PM): okies Z0rPr1me (7:45:22 PM): I read that those books are like Buffy the vampire slayer series... hmm is that true ? QueenSidhe (7:45:25 PM): So we'll try the series with Anita Blake and keep going until we're sick of her. :) Z0rPr1me (7:45:27 PM): never watched the show QueenSidhe (7:45:40 PM): Eh. I guess, but not really. Z0rPr1me (7:45:46 PM): You peeps found a copy of Hyperion? Z0rPr1me (7:45:55 PM): I would like to read that series too :) QueenSidhe (7:46:01 PM): I think it's more like if you like Buffy, you'll like Anita. QueenSidhe (7:46:05 PM): :D Z0rPr1me (7:46:08 PM): okies QueenSidhe (7:46:16 PM): Sure. Is it a trilogy or more? Z0rPr1me (7:46:21 PM): cuz buffy doesnt look interesting to me Z0rPr1me (7:46:24 PM): 4 books QueenSidhe (7:46:24 PM): lol KWM01 (7:46:47 PM): :-) QueenSidhe (7:47:31 PM): When I first read the first Dresden files, it made me think of a cross between Anita Blake and the Vampire Files. :) Z0rPr1me (7:48:03 PM): When I read this book it made me think about dresden files. KWM01 (7:48:20 PM): yeah, not quite as gory but kinda funny Z0rPr1me (7:48:31 PM): I gotta fix priorities..... too many books I want to read... its not even funny anymore!!! ROFL KWM01 (7:48:42 PM): yes it is Z0rPr1me (7:48:48 PM): lol KWM01 (7:48:50 PM): just not to you Z0rPr1me (7:49:05 PM): :-D QueenSidhe (7:49:11 PM): And you were the one who kept asking for more. :) Z0rPr1me (7:49:23 PM): I've been served Z0rPr1me (7:49:25 PM): lol KWM01 (7:49:25 PM): yeah you asked for it KWM01 (7:49:33 PM): :-) Z0rPr1me (7:49:38 PM): hey I'm not complaining!!! :) QueenSidhe (7:49:39 PM): I'm in kind of a reading slump again.

QueenSidhe (7:51:48 PM): I need to find a fun book that's low on tech. I keep looking at the stuff I have and am not interested enough to pick it up. Although I did think I'd like to read it. :P KWM01 (7:52:08 PM): edward Z0rPr1me (7:52:17 PM): Dang Hyperion is prolly heavy sci-fi QueenSidhe (7:52:39 PM): Sounded interesting when I looked it up though. :P Z0rPr1me (7:52:44 PM): me it was Phillips.
