I've been slacking in my blogging so these reviews are going to be short. I'll start with Bite Me by Christopher Moore. I don't know how he gets funnier with every book but he does. I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud in the first chapter alone, not to mention the rest of the book. The third and last book in his vampire trilogy (Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck are the other two) this book primarily focuses on the adventures of Abby Normal, self-appointed goth minion to the vampire couple she discovered. I don't want to say too much to ruin any of the laughs for anyone. I recommend all of Moore's books to everyone. Read them.
I also read the Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton. I know this is a very popular PNR/UF series, but I didn't really like Hamilton's writing style. It wasn't until the last three books that anything of any substance actually happened in the overall story. I know these are very popular books, but I can't really recommend them.
A couple Kindle freebies also made into my reading: Murder Takes the Cake by Gayle Trent and Moonstone by Marilee Brothers. The former is a nice little cozy mystery placed in a small town involving cakes, pets, murder, and old town secrets. It was a nice little book but I'm glad it was free because I would never pay for this. Moonstone was a nice Young Adult book. Again, I'm glad it was free because I would never pay for this. If you happen to have downloaded either of these when Kindle was offering them for free then read them, but I don't recommend buying them.
Today I went to see How to Tame Your Dragon. I WANT A DRAGON!! They're so awesomely cute! This was a really good animated movie. I highly recommend it to everyone. Last week I went to see The Bounty Hunter with my mom. Gerard Butler is nice eye candy but you can otherwise skip this one. And I rented The Marine only to look at Manu Bennett who plays Crixus in the Spartacus series on Showtime. Nice eye candy, truly horrible movie.
