  • They only had a box of them... so not likely you can complete a deck unless there is more than one Hot Topic in your area.

  • It's really amazing how the vampire phenomenon swept straight across North America and Europe. Have you read any of the Sookie Stackhouse Novels? It's the book that True Blood the HBO series is based on. I find it more enjoyable then the Twighlight novels. They are just more aimed at teens I feel.

  • Okay, so my last question, round for round harry Potter vs. Twilight, was removed because some Twilighter didn't want to accept the truth.

  • yep i have read this blog and this is really really interesting.but you know that it's very amazing.

  • The Twilight series, written by Stephenie Meyer, has become a smash hit all over the world, selling 25 million copies worldwide and 20 million in the United States alone.
