STARTING A NEW BOOK TONIGHT!

Living Dead in Dallas

Waiting tables, sweeping floors, reading minds and solving mysteries for the undead. It's all in a day's work for Sookie...

Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is on a streak of real bad luck. First, her co-worker gets murdered and no one seems to care. Then Sookie is attacked - and poisoned - late one night by some weird and apparently mythical beast. She only survives because the local vampires roll up and graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it). But in return the blood-suckers need a favor.

Which is why Sookie ends up in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire, on the condition that her undead friends don't do anything, well, vampiric while she's there. Easier said than done. All it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly...

Thank you Staci for letting me borrow this book. Can't wait to get started on it!

Changeling



Finished this book tonight. It was pretty good.

Goodreads Quotes

Changeling

I am just about to start reading this book. Can't wait to get back into this series again. It's kind of hard going from one series to another. I was reading the first Sookie Stackhouse book, then Skinned, and now back into these books. I have the next few books in this series from the library, so time to get reading!

"I couldn't seem to look at him straight when I thought of how this -- okay, man---had seen more of me that I'd ever let anyone see, including my doctor. "Have you missed me?" he asked, his hands unbuttoning my shorts and peeling them down."



p.166 from Dead Until Dark

The Blue Notebook by James A. Levine


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a story of a 9 year old Indian girl who was sold into prostitution by her parents. What the girl, Batuk, had to go through was terrible and made me very sad for her. Batuk has a terrible life, but she has a blue notebook where she writes stories. It really opens my mind up and made me more aware of what some children have to go through in their everyday lives just to get through day to day. It was a good book, but really makes me wonder how many children actually have to live their lives this way and makes me thankful for my upbringing. I thought I had rough days, but it's nothing compared to what Batuk had to endure.
