Donna’s comments from the Challenge: 50 Books group.

I hope you like it!

I enjoyed it, it wasn't overly a vampire story. I mean obviously from the title you know he is one, but it isn't like you hear about him drinking blood from the beginning or anything. The whole thing is told through Elizabeth's perspective and things happen that she wonders about, but it doesn't necessarily make her think of a vampire. Grange's writing style is definitely different from Austen's but it had a pretty good flow to it and wasn't a difficult read (by that I mean not slow like a lot of period novels can be.) If we could do half stars, I'd probably rate it at 3.5/5 because I'm waffling between the 3 and the 4!

6. Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange

4. Micah by Laurell K. Hamilton

Right above the comment box there is something that says add book/author. Click on that and it brings up a little search box, when you find your book at the bottom select the radio button for cover and then click add on the book. That adds the cover. I do the same thing for the link (select the link radio button instead of cover first), and then author which is the second tab in the little add popup.

I hope that helps!

3. Atlantis Awakening by Alyssa Day

That sounds like an interesting way to do the list. Good luck!

I think I'm going to try for the opposite of what you are this year, I'm going to try and read some not-so-fluffy books this year. I read a lot in the romance/fluff category in 2009.

Sookie is so easy to get caught up in, enjoy!

Doing the list last year was fun, so I'm hoping to continue this year.
