Book: The Feast of The Goat by Mario Vargas Llosa. The story of the last day of the life of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, dictator of Dominican Republic for over 25 years mixed with the story of Urania, a woman who tries to recouncile with her father.

I got Son of a Witch from my sister.

I just bought myself the Final Destination Trilogy box set as well as Blood and Chocolate.

Finally got the DVD version of IT and 300.

I just bought Laurell K. Hamilton's book "Guilty Pleasures."
Have heard a lot about the Anita Blake series, but just never read any of them until now.
I'm usually not into the whole concept of the "vampire hunter/slayer," but needed a book & decided to try it.
Thus far, it's pretty good

If I continue to read her books, I might just have to delve into those as well.
Thanks for pointing that out to me, ravengrim!
Just received Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon in the mail today!
I am in love with her Dark Hunter series

I suggest if you have an ebay account that you head over there, they have a ton of them and it will be a lot cheeper than buying one from some place like best buy or target...

This and This.

I've never seen either one before.I hope they're both good.

I've seen the books but I haven't bought them.
Maybe I should. Those look good.

Today I bought 'Underworld' and 'Underworld: Evolution' DVD
