Being in Barnes and Noble the other day, I saw some sequels to the series' I follow. The ones I need to get from the library are, Brisingr, Christopher Paolini. Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox...Allan Poe. Frankenstein, Mary Shelley. Dracula, Bram Stoker. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Washington Irving. The Meloncholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories, Tim Burton.
paranormal romance, erotica, anthology I think a big part of my disappointment with this short story collection is that I was expectingurban fantasy but most of the stories turned out to be paranormal... I like reading anthologies to find new authors. In this case, three stories I liked the best were all written by authors I already like very much. The only new author I picked up is Keri Arthur.

And let me tell...I can spend way too much time on the Never-Ending Book Quiz, reviewingbooks, meet others with similar reading interests and searching for new books to read. I am a bibliophile and proud of it!
Please Do Feed the Cat - Marian Babson. Bah. This overly-cutesy mystery was annoying as hell. First of all, the premise of the series (of which this book is number who-knows-what) was just too precious...about breeding & champions & stuff was really tiresome & stupid. I was amused to find that an animal communicator figures in the story, & her insights are actually crucial to wrapping up the mystery

Most of all, I want to know if I'm right about who Kitty really belongs with. I give it:
