I also DNF'ed Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. Let me tell you why. First, the book is a tell (he's literally telling his story to a scribe) so there is absolutely NO ( Read more... )

What I'm Reading Right Now: I'm reading an anthology called Down These Strange Streets, billed as 'urban fantasy.' So far it's a LOT of Sam Spade '40s style detectives mixed ( Read more... )

What I Just Finished Reading: I haven't read much this week. On Saturday I spent the day in the sun at our local Peach Festival. Lovely time, bought some Christmas presents, had a peach sundae, but the heat and the walking KILLED me. I was a write-off on Sunday, and even Monday and Tuesday I felt lethargic and sore. I am too old and fat! (Mostly ( Read more... )
