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.

It seems like we always have lots of Tom Clancy novels in the Booknook, but here are three Audio Book versions, The Hunt For Red October, Without Remorse and Bio-Strike. Audio books are great for listening when you are fighting traffic on the way to work, sitting on a plane on your way to Europe or just relaxing at home. Although not everyone has a cassette player anymore, you can buy a unit that will convert cassettes to MP3 and then you can put the whole book on your phone. All for $1 at the Booknook now!
