Two more books done and I can’t believe I’m only halfway through the series. So much happens in such a short span of time. In Discover the Destroyer we finally get David’s perspective. The big hero and default leader of the unlikely group of teens. Be-spelled by the witch who dragged them along for herContinue reading “Halfway There”

Coffee and Mystery
One can never go wrong with a good cup of coffee. Even a bad cup will do in a pinch. I read another Anita Blake novel before getting to my regular kind of murder mystery. There wasn’t much talk of coffee in Narcissus in Chains, but it was soothing all the same (in a high-action,Continue reading “Coffee and Mystery”
The Last 100 Pages
What a balm to my soul this book was after ACOTR. The “tough as nails vampire hunter” with a heart is my cup of coffee. Plus, Edward is a star in this one and their friendship is one of my favorite fictional relationships. I’ll admit, I’m not into the club scenes, but they serve theirContinue reading “The Last 100 Pages”
Three More For May
I don’t think I’m going to read three of the same in a row again. I love this series, but I really just wanted to be done, to take a break, about halfway through book four. They’re short books, so I figured reading three would be like reading one. It is not. Each one hasContinue reading “Three More For May”
Fun at the Library
I had been thinking about stopping by our local library the other night with my youngest and she just happened to come home with a need to check out some books. She earned a book from the school vending machine, but it’s the 8th one in the series. Upon inquiring what she did to earnContinue reading “Fun at the Library”
I Finally Read It
It’s been sitting on my shelf for a while. I’m working on my own Beauty and the Beast retelling, so I was hesitant to risk the influence, but decided it would be better to know if my version is similar. It’s not. I avoided spoilers, so I had no ideas about this book other thanContinue reading “I Finally Read It”
April Roundup
They were all comics. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Wonder Woman. The Buffy comics bother me. I’m not going to read any more than I have. I’m all set with the show and the movie. Spoiler warning! They have no idea how to handle female sexuality. The queer inclusion feels like a male fantasy.Continue reading “April Roundup”
Moody Reader
I found myself in a bit of a reading slump. I have been doing so much research, I needed a break. The book I had picked up wasn’t cutting it, so I picked up some comics. I’ve never read the Buffy ones before and felt like giving them a try. They’re not bad, but theyContinue reading “Moody Reader”
Books in March
I started the month finishing my second read of Blue Moon in the Anita Blake series. This one is a good one. Definitely a favorite comfort read. I will say, the shocks are more shocking this time around. I think it’s a sign I’m getting older. And Anita is just fantastic. I love seeing theContinue reading “Books in March”
Library Haul
The kids were so excited for a trip to the library. With their school teachers’ help, my kids are falling back in love with reading. I should have them start keeping a list of their favorites. My middle one is hard to help. I’ve struggled to pin down what exactly keeps her engaged. She strugglesContinue reading “Library Haul”
