Book Review

So this is not so much a book review as it is an author review. I have been hanging out with a good friend from library school and because we have similair tastes in what we like to read, she has been giving me book after book to read.
Not that reading is a bad thing, I probably just want to spend a little less time reading recreationally and more time reading my textbooks.
The author I am review today is John Connolly. This particular writer is based in the UK however a lot of what I have read thus far has been based in Maine. I do need to preface by saying I love mystery, especially horror but without the violence. Connolly does an awesome job of this. I really do love to be more scared by the prospect of what COULD happen rather than what IS happening.
I just finished The Killing Kind. I do need to admit, this book took me a great deal longer to read than his other books. I am a fairly fast reader, especially when it comes to books I do like and or want to read. However when it comes to bugs, spiders in particular, I am NOT a fan.
In this book the killer is killing with brown recluses and other spiders. I am so NOT a fan of spiders, and I am a big reader before bed. Well this book was not something I could read before bed.
It is bad enough I get nightmares very easily, but this book gave me goosebumps in broad daylight. However, if you are into this kind of mystery I really do recommend it! It is wonderfully written, with a couple plot twists you do not see coming and a couple you can see coming. All in all not a terribly book.

Book Review Time!

This blog today is just for Erin!
I am a librarian so it is only fitting that every so often I do a book review. I have read A LOT of books the past month and will try to read at least 10 more in the next two weeks. Only because then I start school again :( and :). It is happy because I am well on my way to finishing my life goals in school and sad because I have to start homework again.
But the book I am reviewing today is "Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story" by Christopher Moore. I am too lazy to try and pull the cover art off of Amazon so there is a nice little link for you all to go there and read their review and purchase it.
First I am a little biased because I LOVE Christopher Moore. I think he is the cats pajamas.
Anyways, Bloodsucking Fiends is about an average girl living in San Fransisco and no really enjoying life. She is made into a vampire, whom she does not beleive in until she has turned, and for a good 3/4 of the book she really seems to hate what she has turned into. She meets a man who is younger than her and easily manipulated, but they fall in love.
Now this book is not really all that long, and it is written in very large type, however it is truly hilarious so I really do recommend you get it from your local library.
I was stupid, and not very librarian and purchased the book from Colagate University. Mostly because I feel bad, I am giving away a good chunk of my books before I move.
Read this book. It is hilarious.
