I have been very lax in updating my book challenges. I've managed to read quite a bit in the past 2 months, just not blogging about it.
Dusk Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Book 12 in the RYOB challenge and book 1 in the R.I.P. challenge. The third book in the watch series.
I finished this on my flight to Italy. Probably not the best of the books, but just as entertaining. It just opened up the lore of the others even more. You discover more about the others with Anton, and how similar both sides are. The lines between good and evil become more fuzzy with each consecutive book.
Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Book 13 in the RYOB challenge and book 2 in the R.I.P. challenge. I read this in 1 relaxing day in Italy.
This has been my favorite Christopher Moore book so far. I've been wanting to like him more then I have, and this book was the one that made it happen. It's the story of Jody who was turned into a vampire and Tommy who she enlists to help her with things that can only be done in the day. It's funny and sweet with some great characters. I will be picking up the sequel.
Under the Fang by Robert R. McCammon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Book 14 in RYOB challenge and book 3 in R.I.P. Challenge.
This is a collection of short stories based on the premise of vampires taking over the world. I have to say it was very hit and miss. some of the stories are interesting, but quite a few are horrible. I've discovered short stories are great to read before bed, I can finish one before falling asleep.
Night Shift by Stephen King
Book 15 in RYOB challenge and book 4 in R.I.P. Challenge. I'm actually going finish all of the books I said I would read for the R.I.P. Challenge.
