That was one of my favourites during teenage years, read it at least 5 times (3 times german, 2 times english).

You're welcome! I've read the first book last year while I was in Australia, but exchanged it for another book while traveling. As soon as I was back home in germany I ordered all four books.

Over the years I read Drop City by T.C. Boyle a few times, also Go ask Alice (Anonymous) and The mole and Beverly Miller by Allan Frewin Jones.

Yes, they are chick lit. Probably like Mary Janice Davidson (but I read only the first of hers, so I can't really say). Garnet Lacey is quite entertaining and I enjoyed all four books.They are easy, quick reads. All of them a bit less than 300 pages.

google pointed me this way, I was looking for book forums

Tate Hallaway - Tall, Dark and Dead Synopsis from Waterstone's 'The line between magic and sanity is very thin. That's part of why I, Garnet Lacey, quit cold turkey. Never touch the stuff. No Exceptions.' Trouble is magic is so addictive, especially when you've got inner goddesses like Lilith to contend with. And it doesn't stop there for Garnet; if you are going to run an occult bookstore then you've got to expect customers like Sebastian Von Traum, with his piercing brown eyes, sexy accent, killer body and total lack of an aura; which means he's dead! Trouble can be so hard to resist, and what with Vatican witch hunters, long lost vampire exes and a boyfriend with an ex-wife who is literally stirring in her grave, Garnet Lacey has trouble enough for anyone. Tate Hallaway - Dead Sexy Synopsis from Waterstone's Between love spells gone wrong and sharing her body with Lilith, pleading innocence might not be so easy for Garnet Lacey. She should've known she'd never get away with murder. Especially when the people she unleashed her inner goddess, Lilith, on were Vatican witch hunters. And anyway, it's not like Garnet doesn't have other things to worry about, like not letting her vampire boyfriend know that her vampire ex is stowing his coffin in her basement. So, what with all of that, plus the zombie students popping up everywhere and the seriously gorgeous FBI agent on her trail, Garnet's got plenty on her mind. There's no rest for the wicked... Tate Hallaway - Romancing the Dead Synopsis from Waterstone's Having dealt with the skeletons in her closet -- the Vatican witch hunters who wanted her dead and the FBI agents who wanted her to spend life in prison -- Garnet Lacey is feeling pretty darn good about her life. But things are about to go wrong. Very wrong. Just as Garnet is finally starting to feel settled in Madison and daydreaming about what 'forever' might mean to Sebastian Von Traum, her daylight-tolerant vampire lover, he suddenly goes missing. As if that isn't enough, Matyas, Sebastian's half-vampire son who is cursed to be a perpetual teenager, shows up looking for his dad. At the same time, Garnet begins to sponsor the incredibly gorgeous Micah as a new member of her coven. Garnet is determined to keep things professional while she searches for her missing boyfriend but Lilith, her inner goddess, has other ideas... Tate Hallaway - Dead if I do Synopsis from amazon Witch Garnet Lacey is ready to walk down the aisle with the super sexy vampire Sebastian. Besides the fact that he has no pulse, things couldn

It's always good to enjoy books as are different opinions. A friend of mine just loooves these books and will "take them of my hands", that means new bookshopping me! YAY for different opinions

That one's on my tbr list

A german movie (put me off german movies forever): the weird behaviour of sexually mature city slickers My friends and I left the movie theatre during the movie, it was so bad. That never happened before or since.

I still need to finish the third book though. I can't stand to stop somewhere in the middle, so I'm telling myself that it's just (a big) break and read a lot of books inbetween. Well, and I do want to know how it ends. The second book was not bad, but also not as good as the first. It just seemed to me, that the author wanted to make a trilogy no matter what.

I still haven't finished the last book of the Ink trilogy. I stopped somewhere in the middle 1 1/2 years ago, I got so bored! But I really liked the first book! The author should have stopped there imo...

I love this show!! They showed it only 2 times in germany, once in 1997 and once in 1999. The second time I recorded almost every episode on video and was soooo glad when it came out on dvd a couple of years ago. My videos went partly black and white and stuff.

Does somebody know why they translated the book from Glennkill into Three Bags Full?? I never understand why puplishers always change titles so much...

I use postcards as bookmarks, they're so big that the books opens more easily at the page I left it. I put the postcard in the back of the book while reading on the bus/train and beside me while reading at home. If I don' have a postcard at the moment, I use what's handy eg plainticket, or something else that's a bit big because little bus tickets always tend to vanish while reading. Books and pages never get bend!! Gladly I can read everywhere, it doesn'matter if it's loud, but if there's a conversation that's louder than the others (on a train) and sticks out of the alltogether noise, I like to start my mp3 player, otherwise the conversation would distract me. With music it doesn't matter if it's instrumental or with singing, I can tune that out.

I think the author's german. I've read Glennkill some weeks ago and thought it was quite boring. Nothing really happens and to "watch" the sheep figure things out gets really annoying after a short while. I think the idea (sheep solving a murder) is good but the way it's put on paper didn't do anything for me. And I totally didn't like the twist in the end...

Welcome to the forum Rosalind! So many languages, not bad! I stick to german and english. I tried to read dutch but never gotten around to learn it.

I liked Inkheart, the idea is great and everything! But the story should have stopped with the first book imo. The 2nd book got quite boring and the 3rd is really really boring. I couldn't finish it. And I always finish my books!

I do the same well almost, some books that I really like and own the german edition of it, I also get them in english (if that's the original language of the book).

How did you do that? Those are quite big books, I'm excited if I can finish one of them in 48 hours...

I'm waiting for my turn at the book ring...

I just got the second book on monday for my birthday. And it was really good. I was way too fast through with it, unfortunately. Can't wait for the third one to be published (I read this series in german).
