#28

So I feel like a library thief ~ I got the email that my library loan was about to expire on book #28, so I turned off the wi-fi on my Kindle.  I don't know if that's what held it there...or the fact that it was a USB transfer {another one of those is still on my Kindle ~ Why would they publisher restrict to USB transfer, when they can't remove it?}  BUT, I finished it two days after my loan expired.  The first Sookie Stackhouse novel, Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris was a better written Twilight.  There's a vampire or five {some good, some bad}, a shape-shifter {who becomes a dog}, a mind reader {Sookie}, lots of sex and murder.  It's an enjoyable story ~ with lots of interesting characters and the love triangle that made Twilight so popular.  A dead vampire or a live dog?  What a choice for romance.  It was good & I'll read the next one, but I would bet that I get tired of them before the end of the series {hello, Shopaholic}

p212 {TWO-TWELVE}~ Blue jeans seemed to be the answer, as they so often are.

fl: I'd been waiting for the vampire for years when he walked into the bar. ll: "Right," I whispered.  "Yeah.  Back to normal."
