The Thin Man

I enjoyed this book. It was recommended to me by a librarian. Not a large book, very easy read. It's about a rich, sophisticated couple who solve mysteries between drinks and parties. It's an older book and takes place during Prohibitation. (seems like there is always alcohol available though) I enjoyed it enough that I am planning on getting the movie to watch. I think it is an older black and white film.

The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love

You will either hate it or love it. I laugh out loud over it. These are real women down south. They even have a website. www.sweetpotatoqueens.com. The women have interesting ideas about love, marriage, and children. They have a huge following. There is a St. Paddy's Day Parade down south and they march every year. They wear around a size 28 and stuff the top and bottom and take in the waist. They say that satisfies everyone. The men who like big chests and the men who like big behinds.

There are only so many Queens allowed, then there are the Wannabes, (the women who are waiting in line, in case a Queen dies or moves away) then there are the Wannabe Wannabe's, (the Wannabes have their own following) the men in their lives are called Spud Studs, and their children are called Tater Tots. There are several different books, they even have a cookbook. I do highly reccomend the ladies. I just finished reading it for the 2nd time and still laughed outloud. (Kevin says he is afraid of them)

Blood Noir

I have read all of the books in the Anita Blake series. This one is the latest. Not her best. The only thing that kept me reading was the tiny bit of story line mixed in with all the sex. The first books in the series are really good. A story line that is not the norm. About a woman who when she was a child raised her pet from the dead. (It wasn't pleasant) It's about a time when vampires are citizens with rights, there are werepeople, (wereswans, wererats, werebears, etc..) and she becomes a Federal Marshal who has to keep them all in line. She is also a Necromancer. She raises people from the dead so their family, lawyers, etc. can ask them questions that need answering and then she puts them back to death. Really fun books. BUT.... the last couple have been more about sex than good story line. I would recommend the first ones, but I can't say I would recommend the last 2.

Children of God

I FINALLY READ IT!!!!! I know that most of you have already read this book, but I just got around to reading it. I either always checked out The Sparrow by mistake(I checked that book out 2 times thinking it was the one I hadn't read) or it wasn't at the library when I looked for it. (I know there is such a thing called reserving, but my mind didn't go there at the time) Anyway I fell like I have completed something left undone. Now I just have to read the These are my words series. NOT ENOUGH TIME!!! Also look I figured out how to put the pictures of the books up. (I just hope I'm not doing anything illegal.)

If you havn't guessed by now, my kids stay hungry, my house dirty, and clothes unwashed. I have been reading a little too much. I also have read "In the Courts of the Crimson Kings" by S. M. Stirling and "Many Bloody Returns" a collection of short stories.

Devil Who Tamed Her

Okay, I am prepared to receive much ridicule about this choice, but I love this romance writer. Her characters are usually so funny I laugh out loud. This is the only romance author I read and usually can't put down her books when I start them. Her best are the Mallory series.

Shakespeare's Landlord

Another Charlaine Harris series! This series does not have vampires, but has it's own kind of darkness. I love her easy still of writing.

From Dead to Worse

I must admit I am a Charlaine Harris junkie. (The Dead Series) It truly is like potato chips for me. Most of you have heard me talk of the Sookie Stackhouse books. (You know Elvis as Bubba) Well this is the 8th in the series. Fun books.
Warning: R rated, not so much this one, but in general.
