Frost Bite and Shadow Kiss

One of the few plusses of the power being off for most of the business day is that I have plenty of time to read and write. So I finished reading Frost Bite. Great summer read. I enjoyed every minute. I've never seen the movie or the TV shows. I only saw one commercial for the TV show and it didn't seem anything like the books. So I ask you readers, do you like the TV show or the movie? Is it worth the time to watch it?

I've only read one page of Shadow Kiss so I'll have to write more about that later.

Vampire Academy Book

Hi gang,
I'm behind in my reading goals mostly because I got really bogged down in Game of Thrones. I am about 3/4 of the way through it and when I needed to renew it I couldn't. Someone else had placed a hold on it. So I turned it in and requested it again.

Vampire Academy Book by Richelle Mead

In the meantime, I started reading Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.  I'm just loving it. It flows like butter into my mind. After picking my way through Game of Thrones, it's nice to just read and have a flow and not have to reread every other page in case I missed something. It's the perfect 'take to the beach' kind of a book. I love the main character Rose.  She is curvy, feisty, independent and smart. Judging by the illustration on the cover, the illustrator screwed that part up. On the cover she looks thinner than the co-star. That's Hollywood for you.

Happiest New Year 2014

Let the reading begin. The first book I've chosen for week one is Destined by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. It's part of a vampire series that I'm well in the middle of. I just finished reading the Shattered Vine, which I was kind of bogged down in, so I'm happy to get back to the vampire books. They just flow for me. This book makes reference to Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. Maybe I can find time to read that one as well.
