Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion

Mark Cotta Vaz

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Wonderful addition to the Twilight Series
I am not one to write a review but I just couldn't help myself this time. I am in love with the entire Twilight Saga and this movie companion is no exception. The photos are magnificent! This book will give the reader a whole new outlook on the upcoming movie (I can't ...

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

Amazing
The author captures a passion and longing that I think exists in all people, for some of us in the darker more hidden places of our hearts. We all wish for a commitment that is truly unending, a love that not even death can touch, and this book encompasses that idea in ...

Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 1)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2008

Delicious Southern Charm
I started reading Dead until Dark based on the suggestion of my mother and also because she knew I loved the Twilight series. I found the first novel to be just as addictive as the Twilight series, but nothing like it in a good way. I didn't have HBO so I didn't know ...

Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007

Once you start it, you can't put it down!
Another winner in the Twilight series. I had heard these were written for teenagers, but but that's certainly not the case. This book is appropriate for young adults through Senior citizens. The plot is engaging, the characters so real and the author's style of writing ...

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Kudos to Meyer, still leaving us wanting more
As opposed to others who did not enjoy this book, I felt it started to tie things together and further explain how the Cullens and other vampires kept themselves hidden and how the Volturi were able to keep control of everyone from a distance. To say this is just a ...

Club Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 3)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2003

Gripping Story - I can't get enough of this series
I liked this almost as much as my favorite so far in this series, (book 4 - Dead to the World). Sookie's boyfriend, Vampire Bill goes out of town on business and turns up missing. Sookie agrees to help find him and works with Eric (Bill's Vampire Boss) and ...

Inkdeath (Inkheart)

Cornelia Funke

The Chicken House, 2008

Excellent book!!
By far the better of the 3 books. Definitely didn't exspect it to end the way it did. But figured it had to end with a twist....lol If you enjoy the 1st 2 then you will definitely enjoy this one as well. But if you haven't read them in order don't bother because you ...

Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2002

Read with caution - This series is addictive
I read the first in this series, "Dead Until Dark" and loved it. This installment "hooked me". Sookie finds herself seriously attacked by a "creature" and is saved from a certain death by the vampires by a quite unusual approach. Sookie and Bill find themselves ...

Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3)

Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008

My Son Loves It
My son loves this book. He is a teen and is really into this series.

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)
Excellent book. The entire series is outstanding! I wish the author would continue the series.

The Graveyard Book

Neil Gaiman

HarperCollins, 2008

Page-Turner
I generally find Gaiman not to my taste--especially the alphabet book! Who would give that to a pre-schooler???--but this one had just the right blend of his trademark "weird" and a follow-able story line. He gives credit to Kipling for some of his inspiration; maybe ...

Dead to the World (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 4)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2005

My favorite book in the series so far
I haven't read the last two books yet, but this book is my fav so far.

Dead as a Doornail (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 5)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2006

ckendrick
I read this book in one night. You will not believe what happens to Sookie.

The Twilight Saga

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

The Complete Hardcover Twilight Saga
This set includes all the books from the Twilight Saga, which includes; Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and lastly Breaking Dawn. The books themselves are exactly likes the ones you find at any bookstore, in hardcover. The case it comes in has all the book covers ...

All Together Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 7)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2008

Another thoroughly enjoyable chapter in the adventures of Sookie Stackhouse
I have now read all but the most recent Sookie Stackhouse novel, FROM DEAD TO WORSE (which I just ordered from Amazon -- I had intended to wait for the paperback in March 2009, but after the big events at the end of this one, I decided I couldn't wait until then), and ...
