Just finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Excellent read! Now I have to go get Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter and Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters (not sure that one is out yet).

Now I have to go get Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter and Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters (not sure that one is out yet). They're both out, I've seen them at the library. Also, in the same vein (so to speak) is Mansfield Park and Mummies: Monster Mayhem, Matrimony, Ancient Curses, True Love, and Other Dire Delights by Jane Austen and Vera Nazarian

I just finished Jane Slayre. I'm a huge fan of the original Jane Eyre, and I really enjoyed the vampire additions

Just started reading Under the Dome by Stephen King and so far it's good. Very "Stephen King" and 1072 pages so it will be my "summer reading"

I've stayed away from Stephen King's books - cause recently they haven't been as good as his earlier ones. Is this as good as his ealier books?

I think more along the lines of his earlier stuff - Carrie, The Stand, the Shining, etc....

Just finished Darkfall by Dean Koontz and about half way through The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephanie Meyer. I'll be sending the latter to Agnessa once I'm finished, as I'm well aware of how much she lerrrrvvss SM.

about half way through The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephanie Meyer. I'm trying to decide whether or not to bother reading that. Is it worth the $9 at Walmart? Is it better than The Host or Breaking Dawn? It certainly can't be much worse.

It's an easy read. I started reading it yesterday on the train and my commute is just under 20 minutes. While it's good and reveals some new little twist, I'd go out on a limb and suggest getting it from the library. Unless you really need to complete your personal SM library.

Thanks for the heads up. I may see if I can borrow it from one of the resident Twilight fanatics (FWIW, I no longer count myself among this number. Breaking Dawn ruined the books for me, and that gawd-awful movie just put the nail in the coffin.)

A terrific book- just don't rent the movie- totally different including the ending- Summer on Blossom Street - Debbie Macomber- currently reading Just before finished the lastest sisterhood series- those get better with each read although I cringe more and more at their revenge methods. Have a ton of Sheryl Woods books - series to read- hopefully enjoy during the summer months.
