Tick tock.....time is ticking....

So far so good!!!!!!!!! I know I won't be saying this later on, but non stop reading has been AMAZING!!!!!! I have been a reader ever since I could read, (get my schoolwork done so I could get a pile of books from the shelf in elementary school, raid my mom's book collection) and all that jazz.
The first book I read was The Bride Collector by Ted Dekker, I have read many books of his, not really that surprised about what I was reading. Like any good author though he made it not too much like his other books. His books do vary a lot, but I would put them in categories. This one is from his serial killer thrillers. Its his newest one and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He is a Christian author so his novels always mirror that and that is part of the reason I like him so much. This book is about a serial killer who drains the blood of his victims and then glues them to a wall with a veil over their faces. As usual the FBI is on the case and the main guy character named Brad is trying to track the killer. The book takes an interesting turn when a lead takes them to a center that specializes in intelligent, mentally ill people. I really like that aspect because I haven't read many books that go there. Moreover, I feel like he mixes God, the Bible and fiction in such a way that doesn't make it cheesy.

Next book I read was Pride, Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, the prequel by Steve Hockensmith. I find it rather amusing how this genre has taken off to now include made up books that were prequels to literature with a little spice. I kind of like some of the newer versions of the old classics, it makes me laugh. Talk about an interesting book, I really doubt that it was something that Jane Austen would have written or sanctioned. Her writing is so proper with a hint of scandal. Now its turning into full blown modern times writing, there were many things that were inappropriate for that time period to talk about. They try to make an appearance of it still being proper and true to the time period, but they lack in that department. If I don't think of it as having anything to do with Austen then I just think of it as an entertaining zombie book with the names of characters that I recognize. It was gory, it was action packed and it makes me want to learn how to be a ninja. I also want to have a dojo in my backyard.

Ouran High School Host Club by Bisco Hatori #2 was my first graphic novel. I had first seen the host club as a english subtitled cartoon show. I loved it, thought it was hilarious. So to throw a little fun in there I chose to read it and get some laughs. Pictures are always fun. The novels are about a group of guys and one girl. They are part of a host club that is run by males except for one. She broke a vase and works for them to decrease her debt. Its funny, just like the cartoon.

I then read Bad Apple by Laura Ruby. It was about a girl with green hair caught in a scandal. She did nothing wrong, she is just an artist with regular teenage angst. It was mildly entertaining, she does come from a broken home, can't really say if that is why she sometimes acts out. I found the characters interesting, a pretty good read. There was a part where she stole a fetal pig from biology and hid it, by that time I was cheering for her. I want to pull a prank like that. I'm too nice.

I am now reading Lois the Witch by Elizabeth Gaskell.
