Vacation Check in!!

First let me say I miss you! It's Vacation time for Mel B and it's wonderful! I've been trying to figure out this ice skating thing, not doing too bad there and I hit the book store hard core....if anything about a book store is hard core. I've knocked back three books and starting book number four. Fun fact, I keep all of the books I read so I have this crazy collection I like to think of as my library. Nothing about it overly sophisticated, and I like it that way!

First up, Books number 1


Coveted By J.R Ward, she has an entire series about "The Black Dagger Brotherhood". Sexy, brutal, and passionate, each book in that series is the story about another one of the Brothers and his struggles, and his discovery of his life mate. Watch the naughty parts it's gets pretty steamy! But this book is a departure from the series. It's about a man who dies and finds himself in the middle of a fight between good and evil. Not your typical story as you get into it, The Main character is a perfect anti-hero. He has a mysterious militaryish history, which actually comes in pretty handy. They way the book ended leaves room for more souls for him to save so watch out for more in the series. I like JR Wards writing I have been enjoying for a couple of years and If you're a reader, or think you may want to try a book on for size, I say go for this one. Oh, if you've been following the Brotherhood the next book drops on 2010 and it's about John Matthew.

Book 2



This is the third book in a series by Dakota Cassidy. The series is about a trio of friends who "accidentally" find themselves in life changing situations. The first book is about Marty who is accidentally bitten by a werewolf and of course, they fall hopelessly in love. The there is Nina, the confrontational potty mouth who trains to become a Dentist Assistant and is accidentally bitten by a Vampire,(who knew they went to the dentest) the two...you guessed it end up falling hopelessly in love. Then there is Wanda. She's the peacemaker of the three constantly making lists. Wanda finds out some horrible news and for most of the book you get a look at how it must feel to be given just months to live. Right on cue a handsome stranger walks into her life. As the story goes on you find yourself pulling for Heath, and waiting for Wanda to give the news to her ultimate besties. Lots of colourful language including great new slang and curse words from Nina. A fun read knocked it back in a day. Plenty of Laugh Out Loud moments in all three books.

Book Number 3



Nothing supernatural in this book so if that isn't your thing, keep an eye out for Out Of Character by Vanessa Craft. She lives in Toronto. And the book is about a girl who is the daughter of a very wealthy playboy father. Daddy doesn't really pay that much attention to her and you could call their relationship awkward. Dad is getting remarried his first wife walked on them both and for most of the book you see the main character trying to understand why. She's mousy, prefers books to people and works for a magazine. The idea for a story is pitched during a meeting, the story is about a very exclusive "gentleman's club" of course our main character offers to go into the club under cover as a stripper. Hilarity ensues for the first couple shifts at the club, epic fail you might say. Father and Daughter eventually find themselves connecting in a very unusually way. Its crazy how far and what it takes for some fathers and daughters to finally see each other. The best news....this one was in the discount section!! and if you have a Chapters card it's under 5 bucks shaweeeeeeettttt!

Book 4




Venomous, I've just started this one only a few chapters in and its interesting. The main character has Anger issues. He calls it Venom. When I left off this socially awkward teen was at a party where there were Goths, Rude Boys, Metal Heads, Punks all gathered together for a out door party there was a Goth Girl who kissed him and ran away and a boy who is the "leader" of this crazy mixture of stereotypes kissed him too after the two share their common stories. Needless to say I'm excited to see what comes next and to find out if he ever gets control of this Venom.

I'm off for the final three days of Vacation!! A Couple of Mooseheads games over the next couple of Days, I'll see you at the Metro Center.
