Vampire Baseball - New Orleans, LA

We had such a great time in New Orleans at the FanTrips Vampire Baseball Charity Game, the Sinners vs the Saints. We got to talk to Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette from True Blood) about the books vs. the HBO Series and why in the heck they didn't have a Bubba on the show. Nelsan said there would be no Bubba, because "that would be cheesy." Jess and I both think thats EXACTLY WHY he should be included. So much fun!! He took one of our new Vampires, Shifters and Faries...Oh MY shirts to Sookie herself and asked us to make a special shirt for him. More details on that special request later.

We got to spend a little time in the dugout with the Sinners Team and had a great time watching the game and hanging out with the celebs.

WeBook Apparel had a vendor table and we got a chance to meet a lot of new friends and book lovers. We got to hang out with Heidi and Lauren from The Twilight Saga FB page, Kara from TwilightersAnonymous.com, and Kimmy from HisGoldenEyes.com, and went to the New Moon DVD release party at Borders where the web-girls hosted a fun Q&A and showed the new Eclipse trailer.

We're already hard at work on the next Vampire Baseball event scheduled for May 22 in Salt Lake City, UT. Check out the website and check back often as the team roster will be filling out in the coming weeks. It's a great event for fans and the celebs - definitely a nice afternoon at the ballpark.

Robward's New Movie: Remember Me

I know all my Twilight girls are going to be showing their allegiance for Robward and will be going to see Remember Me, this weekend, right? Jess and I are going on Saturday and we're dragging Remick with us.

I'm stoked to see Rob on screen in a non-Edward context. We felt the same when we saw Little Ashes last year. So excited!!

Pic o' the Week

30 Seconds to Mars', Beautiful Lie has been a constant part of any soundtrack when I'm reading my vamp books - or lately, books about futuristic, intergallactic Assasins. It doesn't matter if I'm reading J.R. Ward's tough Brotherhood books, Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters or The League books this song just seems to fit. It more than fits, it just torques up the angst - the ineveitable betrayal or secret someone or another is always keeping from the other. It even worked for me on New Moon when Edward left Bella. So for the love of Jordan Catalano, big, surly characters and leather clad boys we love, I leave you with my top choice for ANY read along soundtrack for BDB and a long list of other great books. OH! And Robward channeling James Dean in a tough looking leather jacket. ::sigh::

Do you have soundtracks for your favorite books??

Pic o' the Week

We haven't posted a pic o' the week since sometime in 2009. Since the only rule around here is that the pretty must be visible on the front page, we had to comply. March is a busy month for Robward. He's on the cover of Details Magazine - which by the way, I stole from my boss - Remember Me comes out on March 12 and then New Moon is out on DVD on March 20.

WeBook Girls and Book Club

We've tried book club before...and we'll keep trying until we can keep our wiley bunch focused. Jos had a stroke of genius in deciding that our new thing is that we're going to chose books that have film adaptations, too. Book talk, wine and the movie. Sounds perfect!!

February's book is The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and I have to say I'm pretty hooked. After the summer of Jamie Fraser (Outlander) and the Fall and holiday season filled with Plum and Morelli (Janet Evanovich)and Jess just having come off of Sookie, Henry and Clare are looking pretty good.

Do you book club?? What was your best book?
