About AU$13 each. Paperback and matches yours.
Seekbooks has them for $15 each.
And just saying again, they're really good books. If there was a series I'd buy that the library already has, it would be that (not counting Twilight of course... or Harry Potter)

I'd like to hear your opinion on the 'scary spiral' manga :)
oh jeez "you must get them"! i'll get there i'll get there! lots to buy! Well I know I'll definitely get all of Paradise Kiss. Most likely all of The Dreaming (coz it's only 3 volumes). Most likely the rest of Bizenghast (I think its only 5 and i like it). Model is iffy - I think I'll get volume 2 and see how I like it... see if it just has a slow start. So yeah... lots to buy, not to mention all the other manga series I want to read gahhh! and novels gahhhhh!! and graphic novels gahhhhhhh!!! too... much... to... buy... collapse.

By the way Borders has the same vampire knight as your first one (with the dust jacket), so if you want them all like your 2 and 3 you'll probably need to get them online. Maybe. There might be other bookstores with the other version. But really its mostly only the big bookstores that have manga.

Probably, but I haven't read 30 days of night yet. But it would have to be pretty bad to contend with books of blood, I'd say.
I agree, so many books!
I think I did see death at a funeral. Is that the one with the freaky dwarf guy?
And you should watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer if such an opportunity arrises (eg. trip to video store, library? (my library has it)). It's BRILLIANT!

Stupid paradox! Oh well. So everything go back to norman with the reaper things coz it's all fixed.
But everyone loved R's undies so much that she gets swarmed by a mob of papparazi people who dack her again and take photos and put them on the internet! Then they completely flatten her to a pancake and E laughs at her!!! Ha. Ha. Ha. It's all R's fault for wearing such flashy undies, though!

Damn! It appears you have some sort of speed enhancing ability. OH! I just remembered! I can teleport anywhere in time or space! First I'm going to teleport back in time, dack you, so you're waddling along like a penguin and look really stupid, and then I'll teleport to the present right in front of you, and then I'll go back to when I teleported to the present and keep doing that until there are like 9 copies of myself all standing around you and you will be amazed at my superior special abilites! And then I zap you into the past and let you live to death! ULTIMATE VICTORY IS MINE!!!
Or is it? DUN! DUN! DUNNNNN!!!!!

OK. This little cake thing is invisible and I eat it and you're like "whaaah?" and I ignore you and keep eating it. Mysterious enough? OH! AND I have to sit strange! Hmmm. I hang from a bar all the time, and my butler dude has to carry this bar around with me hanging from it. I also don't wear a skirt/dress :P Or is this becoming more stupid than myserious...
OK!!! Now I'm gonna give you a book to find!
This is a companion book to a series of books both you and I own, but only I have in my LibraryThing library. Neither of us have this particular book in our LibraryThing library. The cover is a primary colour.

You got Dancing Eye Issue One right as the extra. Try again for my mooch :P This is a fun game. Give me something to search for!
Whisper of the heart... looks cute :)
I watched Underworld today. You know, the new film in cinemas, Underworld 3: Something about the Lichens? Yeah, I've got Underworld 1+2 out from the video shop to watch before we see it in cinemas. It's pretty good. Got vampires and werewolves :D A bit too much guns for my liking, but it was still good. The main character Selene has a cool coat.
I've also started watching Buffy from season 1. I really like it :)
Another movie I'm looking forward to is Coraline. Did I tell you about that?
And also Watchmen.

I think I'm going to get a paid account coz I *really* like this site. When its convenient for mum, since I'll be using her mastercardy thing or something (but I'll pay her back). It's pretty cheap, anyhow, even for a life membership. I hope it isn't just PayPal, coz mum doesn't like that.
Oh dear. Are you dying?

Also, I've got some surprises for David and Kate.
DON'T TELL THEM!
David is getting my Doctor Who 2009 Annual, since I've finished with it. I thought he'd get some joy out of that.
For Kate I've got a fairy diary with a little lock on it. Never used. Probably never opened. I guess she can't really write yet, can she? Anyway, I didn't want it, and mum said Kate'd like it.
I've got a bag saying 'TO GO TO BENDIGO' now!
:D
I *heart* organising! Just not my room. Except for my bookcase, which I've obsessively organised. I seriously just stare at my bookcase for half an hour each day, so I'm bound to notice if something's not in place. And every now and again I'll reorganise my book into a better configuration. Books are nice to look at, yes?
Oh, and I really liked the manga Paradise Kiss. You can see my review here: http://www.librarything.com/work/63053/reviews/40819869
Don't worry about the other review. I don't really understand what they're going on about. Anyways, he's a guy, and the manga's aimed at girls, so its no wonder he rated it so low :P
Oh my, this is a long comment. I wonder if you can be bothered reading it all.

Note to self: Bring 'Books of Blood' and 'Lenore 1-3' to Bendigo. Nothing else?
posted by unsuspected at 3:39 am (EST) on Jan 29, 2009
Would you like me to bring Books of Blood to Bendigo next time (probably David's birthday)? Any other books? I'm almost finished Lenore v.3, so you can have the whole Lenore series if you want. They're very funny, in a cute/stupid/psycho kind of way. Emphasis on the cute. I've been trying to find The Dreaming v.2 EVERYWHERE, but it's all SOLD OUT!! Arghh! I should have bought it when we were in the city together. But I got another manga called Bizenghast, which I'm really liking. I still need to read Paradise Kiss v.1, which is another I bought - looks interesting.
You back at school yet?

oooh! Vampire Knight is good! But you have to like buy heaps of them, because the story moves pretty slowly, especially the progress in their relationships.
They don't have The Graveyard Book? That's odd. It's quite a popular new book. Sure you're looking in the kids section? I think it could be there rather than YA, but maybe not.

Of course, all this is unnecessary if your library has it.

congrats on the touch.
I just went to a cheap bookstore out in the dodgy suburbs and you could get 20 manga books for $50!!! Pity they all were like no.9 in a series or just weren't interesting.
Oh yeah. About the manga I'm reading.
I really like The Dreaming and Bizenghast, and I'm looking for the next one in both of them. Moon Phase and Mark of the Succubus were 'meh', and I won't be looking for the next ones. I've read 1 chapter of Uzumaki and I'm very much liking it so far. Will probably be getting the next one. It's horror :)

But I got me some other manga while I was there. They were called Bizenghast, Mark of the Succubus, Moon Phase, and Uzumaki. I'll let you know how they go, but you can see them all in my library.
