POST HERE so I know who actually has which books.
I do have all of them.

I have them all, too. I don't have NW and RB right now, since I lent them to my friend, but I still own them.

Excellent! This means most of us are able to refer to the books when we need to. And to take notes! :D

I own them all. Except the Travelers books. I don't plan on getting those either.

They're nice background stories, but won't have much direct effect on what happens in the movies.
Considering them as deleted/additional scenes though.

Eh, for one, I don't have any cash at the moment, and my library doesn't seem to have them even if I wanted to look at them.
Saint Kane - April 22, 2010 06:39 AM (GMT)
Ah. o.o shame
I think they were like $8.00 each though, so even if you do one a month, they're not bad. Ghost writers, but it's a nice touch. And the covers are awesome. :)

Yeah, I have all but the last 2 of the Travelers books, but I do plan on getting them in the near future when I get some money.

Sounds good. They won't be terribly important unless we want to write those stories into scenes as well.

I only own 6-10 of the core series D: I would ABSOLUTELY buy the other five if I had the money, and probably the Territory Guide, but I'm not sure if I really want the Before The War books. Never been too into prequels.
I have read all of the core books, however.

The territory guide is rather useless.
Saint Kane - June 25, 2010 03:50 AM (GMT)
It is useless. It's also cheap and I have it anyway.
The worst part is that it only covers the first 5 books.
Then again, it does have territory descriptions...

Yeah. But really, you got most of it in the series.
