The Bookworm Review

Well all in all life here in my hometown is going well. If you subtract the fact that I really have the need to crawl into a hole and not come out for a while. Things at both jobs are going well! I know that life can't be perfect all the time and sadly I bet this is as close to perfect as I will get for a long time, but at least I'm not absolutely miserable these days. But enough about me; I am not the point of today's blog(s). At one point in this blog process I said that I would be reading and reviewing books each week. Well I finally earnestly committed to that thanks to this great service called Booksfree and here I am with my first post!

I used my first month of Booksfree membership to start the Undead series by MaryJanice Davidson. I ran across the first book a few years back (Undead and Unwed) and found it lighthearted and interesting. Well since it had been a while for the first book I decided to start all the way at the beginning of the series. I was hoping my memory of the book would not disappoint and I would not regret re-reading the chapters I had already read. I indeed was not disappointed. I found this book just as charming the second time. I will say for those of you that don't like cliche chapters or saying, I would stay away from these novels. It is full of cliche moments and lots of cliche sayings, but for the most part I thoroughly enjoyed it just as much as the first time.

This is a different take on the vampire lifestyle that has enthralled the world. Written some years before the Twilight series, it is not what some would expect when reading a vampire novel. It is instead a lighter, more comedic take on the whole situation, In the first book we are introduced to a executive assistant named Elizabeth Taylor (who goes by the time Betsy). One night as she is leaving one of her favorite restaurants she is attacked by an unknown assailant. A few days later she finds herself laid off and alarmingly undead. Throughout the book we meet her best friend Jen, the alluring and wonderful Eric Sinclair. As Betsy tries to come to grips with her new lifestyle she finds herself thrust in the middle of a centuries old vampire politics and has to chose one side or the other. While she struggles to find her fit in the world she is being pushed and pulled in two different directions. One tribe of vampires finds her a threat and the other tribe wants to make her the queen of the vampire world!

If your looking for a humorous and different take on the vampire life definitely check out this series. I have made it through the first book and can say without a doubt I will be patiently awaiting for my next one to arrive.

Up Next: The Hunger Games: Hype or actually a good book?

Same Blog...New Posts...

For those of you that might follow my blog you may have noticed that some of my posts are missing! I decided to delete them and start fresh. I want to be more purposeful with the things that I write, I want to make my blog worth reading!

There has been a lot that has changed in my life. But for the most part I'm in a good place! I'm happy with the way things are going in my life and the path that I'm on. Sure there are a few minor things that I would love to change, but who wouldn't! For the most part I'm trying to stay focused on the big picture and be happy with the life that I have and the people I'm blessed with! As the year quickly comes to a close with Christmas literally peeking its head around the corner I want to make the most of the days and months to come! I realize lately that time is starting to fly and if I'm not careful, I will blink and miss some of the really great things in my life. I have already missed so much in the past two years and I can't get any of that time back, its gone and I don't plan on letting that happen again.

For those of you that may be looking for an update on my life here it is...I love my dogs, my family and the friends I'm surrounded with. I'm currently in a relationship that keeps me happy and I couldn't ask for something better! I am working in two places at the church and couldn't be happier about it! I am still trying to finish school and finally get my degree, but slow and steady will win that race!

Now on to cover my plans for this blog: this blog will hold my musing and thoughts about anything and everything! I also plan on sticking to some of the plans I started before! One of those plans was to read a book a week...this time I'm serious! I joined this service called booksfree. If any of you are interested in checking this service out let me know and I'll send you a referral!

Now that its 1:30 in the morning here I think I should wrap up this post and try and get some sleep! It is going to be long day tomorrow!

Until Next Time!
