I read this book in less than a day. It was unusual reading from the POV of someone who is dead and I thought that would throw me, but I absolutely loved the book! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55548690 to: My Sister is a Werewolf (Young Brothers, #4) by Kathy Love

This one is just not as good as the others in the series... guess I just like vampires more... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75772785 to: Unhallowed Ground (Mass Market Paperback) by Heather Graham

Somehow, I missed putting this into my "read" shelf, but I read it 3 months ago...
This book is a kid story written for adults, but not for kids. I dare you to read it without thinking of the Beer Fairy whenever you see a Budweiser commercial. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73274094 to: 20th Century Ghosts (Hardcover) by Joe Hill

I really enjoyed this book of short stories. While most are written as horror, there's also some delightful fantastical stories. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73016452 Mr. Darcy, Vampyre (Paperback) by Amanda Grange

I have to begin by saying that I have never read the original Jane Austen version of this, so I am not entirely sure how to compare this. I do have to say that I really enjoyed this one, once I was able to wrap my brain around the style in which it is written. I could see perhaps being a bit overblown in the original, but it works really well for this one. I can't imagine it without the sea monsters! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72622206 to: Wishful Drinking (Hardcover) by Carrie Fisher

Finished this one today. I categorized it as light reading, because it really is a bunch of girly romance fluff. I enjoyed it for that reason, however, if I was in the mood for some heavy reading, probably would not have enjoyed it as well. It is predictable, and as others have mentioned, Wanda's friends come across as nosy bitches, but they weren't as annoyingly so as I had anticipated. What annoyed me more, were the attempts at making the speech of the characters more current by using evah (ever), aiiight (which truly grates on my nerves), and other modernized slan words. It's bad enough that I hear this daily, much less reading it in a book. Just give me people that speak normal English, please. That is the reason I am giving this book 3 stars instead of 4. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62335987 Mandy's review of The Six Wives of Henry VIII

I was looking at this one in the library and decided on something less historical. This is something that fascinates me, so please let me know how you liked it when you're done :) ]]>
