Bloodsucking Fiends

Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore

Christopher Moore is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors. An old vampire wanting companionship turns Jody into a vampire but leaves her alone to see how she reacts. She reacts by picking up a guy to help her take care of her daytime needs. The result is hilarity that only Moore can write.

In the Palace of Repose

In the Palace of Repose by Holly Phillips

One of the best books I've read in a very long time. It is a book of short stories, but they are almost all excellent reads. I can't even pick out a favorite - they were all that good!

From Barnes & Noble: In the Palace of Repose is a collection of nine such stories, ranging from the delightfully fantastic "In the Palace of Repose," to the delicately horrific "One of the Hungry Ones," to the hauntingly literary "The Other Grace." Here indeed are young women, and young men, who have seen too much, and who have been abandoned to wrestle alone with the strange, the wonderful, the terrifying. Some triumph, some tragically fail. Most struggle on beyond the boundaries of their stories, carrying their wonders and horrors into their lives, into their worlds—worlds, and lives, startlingly like our own.

I Am Legend

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
Unabridged audio - 5 CDs

Very good story even though at first I thought it was just a re-wright of an old Vincent Price movie, Last Man on Earth (the movie was actually taken from the book, lol). The world's population has been infected by a plague and everyone except Robert Neville have become one of the living dead or vampires. I was a bit disappointed in the ending, but how else could it really end?

Definitely Dead

Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris
Unabridged audio - 9CDs

Charlaine is one of my favorite authors and I had previously read this one and wanted to do a listen. It was outstanding. The reader didn't have too, too much of an accent (something I always worry about when listening to a book set in the south). Her accent was a bit strong, but not distracting. I think Sookie is being stupid over the Bill thing, but otherwise I really have enjoyed this series.

Singer of Souls

Singer of Souls by Adam Stemple

A very nice surprise. I didn't think I would really like this one much, but it was a good story. It took it's time getting to the real plotline, but even the build up was interesting.

Dragon's Keep

Dragon's Keep by Janet Lee Carey

Very nice fantasy about a princess who was born with a dragon's claw. Her mother made it a custom to wear gloves and reveal one's hands only to one's husband so that no one would know of her daughter's curse. I really enjoyed this one. It held my attention from early on in the story and kept it throughout.

The Kiesha'ra Series #4 Wolfcry

The Kiesha'ra Series #4 Wolfcry by Ameila Atwater-Rhodes

A very big surprise in this one and I'm not sure what I think about it yet. I will have to read book number 5, Wyvernhail, before I can decide. I am going to a conference next week and decided I could only take small, paperbacks on the trip and Wyvernhail is a hard back book of regular size. The small paperbacks will just be so much easier to toss in my backpack and lighter on luggage. Maybe I can find a download, audio of Wyvernhail I can load onto my IPod, lol.
