Publishers Weekly (1/15/2009) looks at Vampire Academy: Another Series with Bite. "The recent media hoopla surrounding Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

Read chapter one of Bone Crossed (Mercy Thompson, Book 4)
by Patricia Briggs (Ace Hardcover February 3, 2009).Publisher blurb: In a world where “witches, vampires, werewolves, and shape-shifters live beside ordinary people” (Booklist), it takes a very unusual woman to call it home. By day, Mercy Thompson is a car mechanic in Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her preternatural side.

Thanks for the great links, especially Patricia Briggs! I've seen her books on the shelves, but yet to add one to Mt Git'r'Read. That will change my next book order or trip to the bookstore.
Hi Vickie
My reading list runnith over. No end in sight, but Patricia Briggs is certainly near the top.
Thanks for commenting!
This isn't a new season of Moonlight, is it? Like SciFi picked it up when it was cancelled from whichever network I watched it on? Or is it just the syndication of previous seasons' episodes?
Hi Cherie
SciFi is showing the episodes that were on CBS last season. Not sure why SciFi is doing this. Maybe they will decide to pick it up?
Cool, thanks for that info. I had went to the SciFi site and it didn't say. And since I recently got a new DVR (upgrading? from my 1st gen TiVo which could only record one show at a time and you couldn't watch anyting else, to Verizon's DVR, smaller disk space though without the extras of the TiVo service, though I can record 2 different channels simultaneously, so is it really an upgrade... but I digress.) Anyway since getting the new DVR, Moonlight and Medium (which I also programmed back in thanks to your heads up) weren't in the list of stuff to record.
