Reading Books

Love the condensed books. Excellent idea. Just add imagination.

Maybe reading is a dying art because there'll be a film sooner or later???

I thinks therefore I is

Where has the reader gone? well to tell you the truth she's been so busy working in her bookstore she's has no time for NAO! y'all can slap me later...

what have i read lately? hmmmm

i've fallen in love with stephenie meyer. Twilight and New Moon are fantastic. the rekindled my love of literature. Edward Cullen is the most endearing sexy vampire i've stumbled across in some time.

Also Phillipa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl is quite good. I'm a fan of historic fiction based in tudor england so this scored thumbs up from mel

The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic... well it was part of a promo at work and it's good i suppose as far as utterly brainless chick-lit revolving around shopping and men goes...

Anything by Janet Evanovich still cracks me up everytime. Hilarious girly crime fiction. it's all good kids.

Scott Westerfeld writes in a similar style to Stephenie meyer with slightly less memorable characters. I think he lacks the obvious empathy and love of his characters that meyer so obviously has.

i re-read a bit of Bryce Courtenay the other month. The Potato Factory, Solomon's Song and Tommo and Hawk are a magnificent trilogy. You cant go past The Power of One and it's sequel Tandia, though my personal favourite of his is Jessica - it will wrench every emotion out of you by the final page.

Dracula remains one of my all time must read though... and all lovers of the drac should definitely check out The Historian by Kostova. set across three generations of historians researching and reliving the mystery surrounding dracula.

there's a couple of bits and pieces to keep you busy :P

Also, there's pictures of my last promo i set up at work on my myspace (myspace.com/wokgurl) of mel's sexy looking store and of mel dressed as a wampire (i couldnt decide whether i was a witch or a vampire)...

more news in a journal to follow sometime very soon hopefully.

much love
