Jove, 2006
I can really identify... well kinda!
+ Who said demon hunting couldn't be funny?

Dead and Dateless (Dead End Dating, Book 2) 17 reviews Kimberly Raye
Ballantine Books, 2007
Vampires & Romance
+ Lil is back!
I love the first book and I loved this one as well. I was worried that it would be a repeat or wouldn't hold up to the mustard like the first. But, it did. Lil (or wonderful born vamp who even breaths like a human - or at least tries) is back and just as lovely as the first book. The story ...

Sellevision: A Novel 136 reviews Augusten Burroughs
Picador, 2003
Another Great Showing From Burroughs
+ Good first try
Sellevision was recommended to me by a friend, who suggested the book because I love the writing of Max Barry (of Company and Syrup fame). It turned out to be a great match.
Sellevision is a hilarious book -- simultaneously dark humored and lighthearted. It follows the lives of four hosts on the ...

The Book of Names: A Novel 25 reviews Jill Gregory, Karen Tintori
St. Martin's Press, 2007
My Kind of Novel!
I disagree with the bad reviews here. This is exactly the kind of book I like--it's fast-paced, not bogged down with a lot of scholarly detail (my only objection to the frequently-mentioned Da Vinci Code), and provides the reader with a lead character who has a personal stake in the outcome, ...
