Hey everybody! 

It's the end of August, so we all know what that means....

School is almost in session!!

Here at the library, we have a string of books from the popular Goosebumps series!

What better way to start the school year off than picking up some spooky stories?

And can I get a Hey-oooo! for the new Goosebumps movie coming out this October?

This horror series is aimed at ages from around 7 - 13 years old (though I would say that it really depends on you, the parent, and your child's interests to make the call on whether they are mature enough, my best suggestion is to watch a couple episodes of the show.) All the books are easy and fast reads, there is no *real* order that they have to be read in (though on occasion there are sequels.)

Come check them out! 

I sense a theme here, with the word dead in every title! Charlaine Harris is a New York Times bestselling author who has produced many series but all of these books are from her Sookie Stackhouse (Southern Vampire) series. This novel series was dramatized for the small screen in HBO's True Blood TV series. If you liked True Blood you will enjoy these books from this very prolific author. Only $1 each at the Booknook now!

We have books 3 and 4 of the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer in the Booknook. Of course everyone knows of the connection of the Twilight series with the Northwest, but did you know that a small part of the first movie that was not in the book was filmed here in Vancouver? The marina scene where two of the vampires murder a fisherman in his boat was filmed at Kadow's Marina off Lower River Road. The owners Lloyd and Bev Kadow are listed in the credits as Boat Wranglers, as the film crew spent a lot of time asking for boats to be moved around to make the scenes perfect. Also the end credits for the first movie roll over an undulating water background that was filmed at the marina in the Columbia River.
