Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy #1) by Richelle Mead

Hey Tabitha!  Great looking blog!  Love the books too.  Am following you now.  Take a look at my blog...

My latest short story review is posted!! It's a murder among friends, but what was the motive?

http://www.rogoodman.com/2012/04/short-story-review_15.html

Below is the start of my review of Irish novelist Gerard Brennan's The Point

I decided to read this novella on my Kindle because, after a couple of excellent legacy-published five-hundred pagers consumed in the previous two days, I wanted a good, short read to bring the evening before yesterday to a pleasant close. I remembered badass writer Raymond Embrack's Twitter recommendation to read it. Ever since Embrack's comment about my novel,The Imitation of Patsy Burke, that "this is airport reading only if you are flying to Sodom", I've had immense respect for his literary acumen. 
Before I was five pages into The Point, James Joyce’s comment about Flann O’Brien came to mind: "This is a man with the true comic spirit".
The brothers Morgan, Brian and Paul are both Belfast born and bred. Hard-drinking womanizers, they emerge daily from the after effects of gallons of cheap cider and junk food to make a kind of living out of burglary and other ways of living off the community. Although they sometimes manage to pick up a "skank", a drunken woman in a pub, they don’t often get the anticipated enjoyment from their conquest. They are so pissed themselves at the moment of intercourse, that the exploit is only vaguely remembered, if indeed it ever happened. Had Brian managed to get it up at all last night before he woke up this morning to find himself in the woman of the house’s bath tub? That's about the limit of their philosophical inquiry. Brian’s occasional tendency to treat women like human beings--he has his humane moments, is cynically dismissed by Paul.

Newest review:A Night to Remember by Walter Lord

Legion of Bats by Shadow Stephens

Summary: 

Legion of Bats—They were all different, but together they changed the world

In a world governed by fear and corruption, a baby, Zoe Masterson, was born and immediately targeted for death. Hidden away in the rural West Virginia town of Tanner, Zoe grows up feeling like an outsider—always just a little bit different from the people around her. As bad becomes worse, she is arrested for arson and a murder she didn’t commit. She is taken to a mental hospital, where she discovers nothings is as it seems and her destiny awaits her. Zoe quickly becomes caught in a web of strange abilities, politics, murder, discrimination, and forbidden love. Will she be able to bring a government to its knees in order to have the one person who matters most to her?

I also got to interview Shadow Stephens which is posted here.

Prague Fatale by Philip Kerr is a fictional book in the Bernie Gunther series. This is the eighth book in the series which brings up the question: just how many lives does Bernie Gunther has?
