I can really identify... well kinda!

+ Who said demon hunting couldn't be funny?

I loved this book and have begun #2 (I like it so far). This book is a great read for laughs and understanding what Kate goes through (as a mom anyway). I recommend.

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 ...

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 Novel25 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, ...

Three words for the quickie review. "I. Love. It!" I hate to say it, and all you Anita Blake and Southern Vampire and Carpathian addicts out there -- don't stake me. This (and its sequel) are my favorite paranormal romance books. (Oh, wait, oops, I probably just offended said Anita Blake ...
