I wrote it off as typical YA fare, but I still read every last qword--LOL. I am sure young girls must gobble her books up! The covers are very effectively done! Did you read the sequel? I have it checked out, but I think I will have to take it back unread and read it later--too many other books calling my name!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1161718476251681642006-10-24T13:34:00.000-06:002006-10-24T13:34:00.000-06:00Nancy, I'm anxious to read book two because book o...<B>Nancy</B>, I'm anxious to read book two because book one just left me with to many questions. I have it on hold at the library, so I'm just going to have to be patient. ARG!<BR/><BR/><B>Lotus</B>, I've never read any of Anne Rice's books so I didn't know who Lestat was, but a quick yahoo search informed me. I see they have made a broadway musical about him. Having read Bram Stoker, do you think I'm brave enough to tackle Anne Rice?<BR/><BR/>Thank-you, <B>Joy</B>. You're too sweet.<BR/><BR/><B>Angela</B>, you may want to give the first one a try. It is really quick reading and I'd be surprised if you don't feel compelled to read the second.<BR/><BR/><B>Alyssa</B>, thanks for stopping by. I visited your blog and see that you have a debut novel out that has rave reviews. I'll be checking at my library to see if they have it. If not, I'll get them to interlibrary loan it for me. Are you presently working on book two?Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1161707726045485302006-10-24T10:35:00.000-06:002006-10-24T10:35:00.000-06:00I loved Twilight, and am waiting for New Moon to c...I loved Twilight, and am waiting for New Moon to come in the mail.

I am going to have to read your earlier posts. From the glance I just took, I can see that there are some good reviews I don't want to miss. You have introduced me to several great new authors and books. I appreciate your suggestions. Thank-you.<BR/><BR/><B>Joy</B>, as long as that cocoon is warm and safe, I see no reason to introduce vampires. It's not like there's not thousands of other wonderful books to read. <BR/><BR/><B>Library Mama</B>, in these cases the covers do relate to the story, although it may not be evident until after reading the book.<BR/><BR/>Hi, <B>Stephanie</B>, I'm looking forward to discussion of The Thirteenth Tale.

I'm a sucker for this sort of continued thing (even though I like Mary Russell and Sherlock better) after having been addicted to <I>Angel</I> reruns. The Mary Russell novels are each complete in themselves, but I like the serial aspect as well. My review in February is one line, "Not Josh Whedon, but has room for future vampire adventures and for back story." Eventually, I'll get to the next one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
