The Editor and I met Linda a couple of Sci Fi Conventions ago. Really liked her. The book was good. I'm finding that I really enjoy fantasy fiction better than science fiction. This was a bit inbetween.

Julia is part of the Yard Dog Press gang. I liked this book. I liked the boy in the book fighting off monsters behind the doors but the monsters kinda ran together. But I'm not real fond of spaceships and monsters. I like my Sci Fi more on the line of fantasy....not spaceshippy or aliens! The Editor and I met her also at a Sci Fi Con and liked her alot. This book is two books combined in one! Now I'm turning the book over and reading Jaguar Moon by Linda L. Donahue and will rate it after I'm finished!

I liked this book. I had a bit of a problem because three of the vampires in the book had very similar names which was confusing for me. The vampires were very scary! I liked it enough to want to read the 2nd and 3rd book. It was the first in a trilogy. The Editor and I met Selina at a Sci Fi Convention. She owns Yard Dog Press and she is really cool. I'm interested in reading the rest of the series.

This book was beautifully written. It's the first in a trilogy....I'm going to get the 2nd and 3rd soon. The Editor and I met him in Tulsa at a Sci Fi Convention. He was very nice and signed this book for me.

This was not one of my favorites of hers but I did enjoy it. Lots of typos in it though. I still don't understand why they don't do a better job proofing her work!

BOOK RATING

AUTHOR - LOIS MCMASTER BUJOLD

ON A SCALE OF 1 THROUGH 10 =

This book was really good. It was a fantasy love story and what I loved the most is that the male and female (Dag and Fawn) liked each other from the beginning. No resentment, no fighting their feelings...and Dag was just a nice guy. But somehow was not boring. Really a cool book. It's the first in a serious of four and I'm going to read them all. The Editor and I are members of a science fiction group and they suggested I read this series. We are all going to a science fiction convention in September and we are going to have breakfast with Lois McMaster Bujold. I can't wait to have her sign my books!!!!!!!

BOOK RATING

TITLE - BITE ME!
AUTHOR - MELISSA FRANCIS

ON A SCALE OF 1 THROUGH 10 =

10

Yes - The Editor and I do know the author.

Yes - We have been patiently (well, maybe not so patiently) waiting for her book to be published.

No - I am not exaggerating. This book is good. It's about a female teenager who is a vampire. Her mom marries her boyfriend's dad and tells her she cannot date him anymore. That they must consider each other brother and sister. It's funny, witty. Just a good read. It's geared toward teenagers but I really liked it. Great twists and turns. Well written.
