I have been on a reading frenzy this week and I’ve sorta forsaken all other things in order to catch up on a few books that have been piling up on my desk. A few weeks ago, I was sent an advance copy of Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill so it’s been on the top of my reading list for a while … I finally started reading the book this week and I didn’t want to put it down:

The book is excellently written and features just enough pop culture references to make the story feel fresh without overdoing it (Nine Inch Nails gets a shout-out, which of course endeared the book to me even more). The book is the first in the Chicagoland Vampire Series and focuses on a female protagonist named Merit who is no timid woman and brings a fresh perspective on the vampire craze that is going around these days. The book has a little bit of Harry Potter in it (ie. different Vampire Houses), a little bit of The Southern Vampire Mysteries in it (ie. the Sookie Stackhouse novels which True Blood is based on) but with a voice and perspective all it’s own. No offense to the Twilight fans out there but the writing from Chloe Neill is IMMENSELY better than that from Stephenie Meyer. I just really enjoyed the book and I am very much looking forward to Book II Friday Night Bites which is due out this Fall. If you are a fan of vampire novels, I think you should give this one a try. I loved it entirely and am now very anxious to read more from Ms. Neill.

Because I finished the book a bit early in the night, I started reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen & Seth Grahame-Smith. OMG, it’s freaking brilliant! I suspect I’ll get thru this book very quickly … it’s really hilarious. I must admit, I’ve never read the original Austen novel in its entirety but I may read the book after I finish this version of the tale. If you’re a fan of Austen or even if you’re not, this book is really entertaining. I’ve gotten thru the first few chapters and all I kept thinking was that I hope they will turn the mash-up book into a movie!

I don’t think I’ll get much reading done today … David and I still have to pack for our trip to Chicago and we have decided to see two movies today. Hahahaha … yes, we’re a bit nutty.

Yesterday was another chill day for David and me around these here parts. While he was bizzy working on an exciting new project, I was bizzying myself with doing a whole lotta nothing. I’ve let my reading pile get way to big so I’m really trying to devote as much time as I can to reading so that I can finally get thru some great books that I’ve been dying to read. I’m in the midst of reading Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill and I am enjoying it immensely:

Next on my plate is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. Since David and I are flying out to Chicago this weekend, I’m hoping to get in as much reading as I can while I can.

This afternoon, tho, I think we’re gonna try to get out and see the new Disney film Earth. We are big fans of the Planet Earth DVDs so we’re hoping this new film will be just as entertaining. Yeah, not much exciting news to report … but life is good :)
