It has been forever!

Okay, once again I have been slacking! I need to start reading again...but FIRST! A new poll. Since I have read so many vampire books, I want to know...which author of vampire books is your favorite?

What color is your blood?

Yes, I read more vampire books. I just finished Blue Bloods and Masquerade both by Melissa de la Cruz. They were both so good that I needed to get through them today. One review for Blue Bloods says:

"De la Cruz introduces a conception of vampires far different from stake-fleeing demons in traditional horror fiction, coupling sly humor with the gauzier trappings of being fanged and fabulous."--Booklist

The main character is Schuyler Van Alen a teenager who attends a ritzy private school in New York City only to realize that she is a vampire. Throughout the books Schuyler discovers the vampire ways and vampire histories...all the way back to the settling of Plymouth Rock!!! There is mystery in these books as well as: suspense, romance, confusion, and lots of other emotions as well. The books really are well written and great to read if you are a fan of vampire books.

There are only a few drawbacks to these books (in my opinion of course!):

1. A few of the main characters have [you guessed it]
GREEN EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Schuyler lives in a very ritzy place so there is lots of talk of fashion
and other en vogue topics
3. The third book does not come out until Fall of 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[*le sigh*]

Still, I am glad that I read these books and just have to hold out for 9 months or so!!!!!!! What other choice do I have?! ;)

Sweet

Finished boy meets boy by David Levithan! I had a hard time reading the first twenty pages of the book. There were situations that the reader is supposed to believe such as a five year old knowing how to read and understand the word"definately" and a full on high school drag queen who is also a quarterback. Plus the main characters live in a town where most people are bi-sexual or gay and being straight is the minority. I am sure there are places like that but I guess I have not travelled enough or ever lived in such a place so it was hard for me to relate to the setting.

Anywho, once you get past the first twenty pages it really is a sweet love story. It is nice to read about a crush coming to fruition (regardless of gender) and not have the whole thing corrupted by raunchiness. I think I am starting to show my age again but I get so sick of reading Young Adult novels where the only focus is SEX. HOORAY for a book that is about love and crushes!!!!

On the topic of books....

I am excited that I will be getting to some adventure/outdoorsy books soon.
Man vs. Wild would be so proud!

MAKE MY BROWN EYES GREEN?

Okay, finished boy meets girl. Have to say that it was pretty much torture to get through but I feel proud that I finished it. I really do think that Meg Cabot is just WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY too girlie for me. Also, as I mentioned in an earlier post, the style of the writing was not enjoyable. It would go from a letter format, to a diary, to an email, to IM and even the different formats were not very accurate. The flow of the story was just not there.

About the only thing I realized from this book was GREEN EYES. I swear, why it is that every main love interest has to have green eyes?! It just seems crazy and silly. I mean, are green eyes that much of a hot commodity? There are only a handful of books that I can think of that contain a love interest with brown eyes and those books are all from one author, Stephenie Meyer.

What say you my beloved readers? :)

P.S. I have green eyes...:) hee hee!!!!!
