Adult versions??? Is there some details about Hermione and Ron and Harry and Ginny?

Is there something different? I see the design is a lot different. I like the Goblet of Fire

[HanabiChick]

The stories are the same, the only difference is the covers. I like these covers a lot more than the normal UK children's covers. Even the American covers are nicer. They've started releasing these 'Signature' editions here now, which I really like:

There's also a box set of those, I might get it later on. These I'm just getting as part of my collection, to have some nice copies. The ones I read are not in good condition, and these sets will look better

I was angry this morning when I got a pre-order email with a pic of the HP films 1-8 box set, only to click the link and find that it's a blu-ray set and the DVD set is not as nice. Makes me want to buy a blu-ray player just to get that nice set

I got Jermaines Book You Are Not Alone Michael Through a Brothers Eyes. The book is very thick about 400+ pages long. I got it on Saturday just on Chapter 3 at the monent and its really giving me an insight to what living in the Jacksons home was like. How small it was and how everyone in the family looked after Michael. Also theres some good pics in it although most of you may have seen them.

Laura, the box set of the HP books that you bought looks lovely

and the book of Jermaine sounds very interesting too, Sharon

it was € 15.99 here it was €19.99 but the book store was having a sale last weekend. So got it a little cheaper.

[HanabiChick]

So I gave in and bought a blu-ray player at the weekend. There weren't many available in the only shop that sells them here, so I got Beauty and the Beast Diamond Edition blu-ray+dvd set:


Today I went into the city and bought ^ my other favourite on blu-ray in HMV, and I also found the treasures book there. It wasn't cheap, but it looked so nice I had to buy it. It's got some lovely pics, and some reproduction stuff like this:

What is Treasure book? I don't think I've seen it before. Does it have Michael's bio inside? And what those things in your pics? One looks from some fan club

I ordered a birthday cake for my dad

he has his birthday on Sunday

he has diabetes, so I had to order a special cake for him, without sugar

and it wasn't easy to find a shop that makes them

but finally I found one today

[Sharon007]

I bought these items in the Body Shop and got 5 euros off the cost. I like their products and they dont test them on animals. Although they can be dearer than other shops.

Laura, can you tell me more about this book? I have a chance to buy it but before I do it I wanna know some reviews. The site didn't offer reviews. What kind of writing is inside. Do you like it? Also would you recommend others (me) to buy it? And how much did it cost when you bought it?

yoohoooo, Laura? lol

Sorry, I read this last night on my ipod and I forgot about it I haven't read all the book yet, but it's just about Michael's life and career, with quotes from people, articles, biographies etc. Some of it seems to be the author's personal ideas, and sometimes with no facts. What I do like are the photos (lots of photos!) and the reproduction items. There's even a small Dangerous mask. Strange items that were included was a copy of marriage certificate to Lisa Marie and Michael's will. I paid €33 for it in HMV, so it might be cheaper online. If you want it as part of a collection, especially with the reproduction items inside, you would like it. It's a quality book overall. The name of the book is in silver glitter on the cover, and the spine is also silver glitter.

the example I could buy is for €26.05. I am now thinking of buying 4 MJ books Although when I looked at the price together I may buy 2 now and 2 later hehe

I just ordered these books:





Will be also buying Michael Jackson: The Making of Thriller and The Michael Jackson Treasures next week. I asked my bf is he wants to give some money in the orders, he said yes. So since we are splitting price amount then I will buy all 4 books


Btw, you may find this site interesting http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/ They ship books for free to the countries that they have listed. They ship to Latvia for free as well

[HanabiChick]

I've heard of that book depository site, and I bought from a seller on play.com with that name (not sure if it's the same or not), but I'm not sure if I can buy as I've just got a new pre-pay credit card and I'm not sure where I can use it yet. Some won't accept pre-pay cards from outside the UK, and there's no details about using pre-pay cards. I want to be able to use it on other sites, because play can be limited.

Its mostly Michaels family members and his friends talking about Michael. There isnt any music but they do have photos. I didnt like the way it started with the 911 call. David Gest says he was Michaels friend and talks about what it was like being Michaels friend

I like when Katherine is speaking about Michael and what he was like as a person. She said that Michael was very trusting just like she is and that she was worried about that. Although Michael said that he trusted his people and that they were good people.

Tito spoke about the Jackson 5 how they started and what Michael was like. He said that he didnt see Michael get hit much and that it was mostly the older brothers. He also said that Michael couldnt go anywhere without being recognised. Tito said it was a pity that Michael couldnt live a normal life.
