Blackwood Farm is brill, i have no idea where the actual book came from but i found under the sofa so kept it :lol: yeah -_-
haven't read it in ages!
Oh another book i've recently read is Empress Orchid - that is very confusing, loads of characters, but got a good moral story to it in the end...you have to be patient with it though

Wait, you refuse to read Twilight yet you read Karen Chance? Despite of the difference in vampires that might be there (have read neither) they're much of the same thing to me. I have tried to read one of Karen Chance's books, started it, yet put it away after a few pages thinking: god no not another one of those horribly cheesy and predictable urban fantasy novels. ;) I mean.. no. :lol:


I know, I'm a hypocrite. :lol:
It wasn't AS cheesy as it probably promised to be- some of the vampires are nasty, and Chance even managed some plot twists.

Twilight vampires: Sparkle
Chance vampires: glow in the dark. KIDDING!!! Chance vampires actually are normal skinned... Well, as normal as the walking dead get. ;)

^^ Lol just try it, I was cynical at first too, but it is really good, and it only takes couple of days to read.

I've been reading Lolia by Vladimir Nabokov and I'm halfway through, but I think I'm going to give up on it, it's just gotten so boring. It doesn't take 3 pages to describe something!

I'm reading/just read couple of books by Slovak authors that were never translated and it makes me sad, because they were such amazing books. <3

I'm going to start In The Springtime Of The Year by Susan Hill when I finish the book I'm reading right now, too.

^Good book, good book.

I just finished reading some Finnish prose-poetry by Arno Kotro. The book is called Sanovat sitä rakkaudeksi. Damn that man can say what I can't. Witty and fun, deep and sad. Interesting. I think I'll be reading more poetry from now on.

right now I'm in the middle of Charles Bukowski's 'Hollywood'. I love the writer; he really knows how to express the reality in a true, blatant way, without beating about the bush.

Just finished Eclipse earlier today...or last night...depending how you look at it (3:30am, before I went to sleep). Still hate the way the books are written...but still enjoy the story. Another quick read, a good distraction from the craziness of schoolwork...

Returning to Villete next...in need of some good 19th century writing :)

^ I love the Twilight series, too, and I've read all four of the books. I'm actually working on re-reading New Moon at the moment.

As for my favorite book, I don't have a favorite. Well, I do, but not just one single book; it's a long list.

But I really enjoy the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, by Laurell K. Hamilton. I've just recently started reading it, and I'm loving it to pieces! ^ ^ I'm on the third book right now, Circus of the Damned.

I'm reading a version of The Egyptian Book of the Dead translated by Normandi Ellis. Usually, books take me only 2 days to read, but I'm taking my time on this to pick up some kind of good message.... I want to understand what I'm reading, not just breeze through it. So far, I'm enjoying it. ^^
