What I'm Reading Monday - Comics Crazy!

I managed to get some reading done this weekend.  You know, in between helping move my sister, visiting with Kellee, and cleaning.  So I did a lot this week.

So I finished You Suck in the middle of last week.  I loved it and immediately started the next one.  :)  But back to You Suck.  I still could not believe that the reader was able to have so many different characters voices that actually sounded individual!  The story kept moving and I just couldn't decide which way I thought it would go!  I also didn't see coming how the story would keep going because the city was saved, but....

I am finding out how!  I am even almost all of the way through the third and final book in the series, Bite Me.  This one focuses on the newest vampire terrorizing the city.  I hate to ruin it for those that have not read it so I won't.  Tommy, Jody, the Emperor, the Animals, Rivera, Cavudo, Abby, and Fu, are all still in this story.  And the reader is still freaking amazing!  There are even more characters than the last book and her voices are still consistent and different from each other!!!  I have decided that I have to listen to the other books she has narrated because she is just that good.

Anyway.
I am still reading Alibi in High Heels.  I am actually past chapter 3!  I am reading this one faster than the other one.  There is a killer on the loose who is copycatting a past attack with Maddie's brand new line of shoes!!  Her man Ramirez knows about it and is on his way to Paris!  I can't wait to see what happens next.

BTW, these are out of order.  I took a shot from here and edited it in PicMonkey.

Then Sunday I went comic reading crazy.  Jon had laid out (mind you a year ago) some comics that he thought I would enjoy.  A set about Spider-Man and another set about the X-Men.  Well it took me this long to read them, but I liked the ones I read.   I read issues 1-3 of Ultimate Fallout: Spider-Man No More.  Basically it picks up after Spider-Man has been killed.  It is focusing on who was involved and how people are dealing with the loss.  And since I have been watching all of the Marvel movies I know how pretty much all the characters are!

Missed out on seeing a friend this weekend.  I'm really bummed about that.

Regardless, have a great Monday!!

What I'm Reading Monday - Another book filled week!

I have no idea how but I had another crazy reading week!  I was finishing books left and right.  I don't know how long I can keep this up but I like it!

The first grouping of books I read were the latest three issues of Fairest.  I have no idea why it wouldn't let me make them side by side, but anyway.  I love the Fables books, but these are a little bit of a tease since they are so short and you don't get to read the whole story non-stop like the trades.  Yes, I am so spoiled thanks to Jon.  So far the only Princess being focused on is Briar Rose.  I just got the 5th issue so I should be checking that out soon.

I managed to finish Bloodsucking Fiends fairly quickly.  I absolutely loved it.  Like I mentioned last week I loved the readers voice and how she voiced each of the characters.  I enjoyed the personalities of the characters included in the book and could not wait for it to end.  Luckily Kellee did me a solid, and gave me the other two books last week. :)

Soooo, I am about 1/3 of the way through You Suck.  Again I love the reader.  But I don't like how the beginning and end of each CD has weird music.  Aside from that I am totally enjoying this story just as much as the first one.  It continues with Jody and Tommy and I like how they are using pretty much all of the characters from the first book and I can't wait to see how this one turns out.  Oh and making a trip to Tampa this weekend certainly helped me move my way through it.

I finally finished Undercover in High Heels.  I ended up really really liking it.  It had an ending that I was not really expecting and it made me like the characters even more.  I decided that I might at well start the next in the series (since I bought them all on my iphone).

So far I like it very much.  Several of the unknowns from the previous books in regards to the main characters relationships have been discussed.  I am not very far in, but I have an idea of where all of the drama will take place.  It's Paris (and no, I don't think that is a spoiler).  OMG, I want to go there so badly.  This will be the second book in two months that has partly taken place in Paris.

Alrighty, if I go now I might be able to get a few pages in before I have to head to bed...

Sweet reading :)
Oh and P.S. Happy Birthday to Shaena!!!
