    what's so strange about vampires?

    well strange for me is the fact that i've read other vampire stories and i think they're cheesy, but her vampires are believable because she's such an amazing writer. this is my second time reading it and i'm still in love with the story.

    Currently reading Chain Of Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib by Seymour Hersh.

    Never read a book by Mr. Hersh, looking forward to this. Had my eye on it for awhile and found it for $ 6.99 in hardcover is the bargain bin at Chapters

    Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut

    2nd Vonnegut that I've read. The first being Slaughterhouse 5. A great book.

    I'm reading this now too!! I just bought the one book with all the books inside. Not sure why I never read it before?? I finished the first book which basically tells you how Narnia became, and where the wardrobe came from. Now I'm on the Lion The Witch and Wardrobe, all the kids just entered Narnia and have met up with the beaver.
    Anyway, I'm really liking it a lot! Love fantasy stuff like this.


    I bought the big book too. I've always loved the horse and his boy and the Voyage of the Dawn treader books best!

    I'm still sort of reading the historian by elizabeth kostovo but I've just picked up harry potter and the half-blood prince to remind myself of what happened!

    Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. It is good but really long! I am at about page 750 and still have about 300 to go! I got a lot of books for Christmas so I am hoping to finish this soon to get to those.

    I'm reading Jacquelyn Mitchard's "Cage of Stars." I'm enthralled, and at the same time, I'm contemplating the theme of child murder in recent novels. I read "The Lovely Bones" and enjoyed it, but somehow I feel badly that this kind of tragedy creates a compelling story for me. It's not the only theme I read about by any means, but I feel wrong "enjoying" these books. What do you think?

    By the way, I love Barbara Kingsolver, especially "Prodigal Summer." I would also recommend "The Secret Life of Bees."

    Happy New Year everyone! I hope it is filled with happiness for all of you.
