Book 293 Walking Dead # 17 by Robert Kirkman

The Walking Dead: Something To Fear, Vol. 17

707 books to go!

This latest volume has some seriously sad stuff going on after Maggie and Glenn decide they want to move to the hill top community and Rick agrees to escort them by car from where they are currently living.

Book 292 Fifty Shames of Earl Grey by Fanny Merkin

Fifty Shames of Earl Grey: A Parody

708 books to go!

If you're pretty bored of fifty shades and books similar to the story, then this parody will provide you with a comedic retelling of epic proportions. Some of my favorite parts of the book range from Earl Grey owning everything under the sun, to him flying Anna in his helicopter across the street from her place of employment to a Starbucks that was a few feet away by walking.

Book 291 Fables #18 Cubs in Toyland

Fables, Vol. 18: Cubs in Toyland

709 books to go!

I'm blogging out of order, because I also read #17 but didn't blog about it yet. In this volume Therese and Dare get stuck in another world, while they are missing in their world. What happens to both of them is interesting, but also shocking and a little sad.

Book 290 Best Friends, Occasional Enemies by Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Serritella

Best Friends, Occasional Enemies: The Lighter Side of Life as a Mother and Daughter

710 books to go!

Another amusing book of columns by Lisa Scottoline and her equally talented daughter Francesca Serritella.

I give major props to Lisa Scottoline for sticking to these new books with her daughter. Her mystery writing wasn't really working out, the last mystery I read by her I didn't like all that much, although I liked her earlier works that I've read so far. I enjoy these books and hope her and her daughter write more, I still have to read my next isn't empty I just have more closet space. 

Book 289 I hate everyone...starting with me by Joan Rivers

I Hate Everyone...Starting with Me

711 books to go!

Joan Rivers talks about her pet peeves in a comedic amusing style.

I thought I wasn't going to dig this book but I ended up liking it a lot, Joan Rivers surprised me with an enjoyable read that had me LOLing. 

 

Book 288 International Harvester by Matt Erickson

International Harvester

712 books to go!

Philip Gant AKA Leonard Schlenk AKA Carl Heiderburg (sic) leads a few different lives. His most terrifying life is the one in which he is a serial killer/organ harvester.

The book had an interesting concept, something I'm surprised I haven't read about in regards to fictional serial killers yet.

 

Book 287 Forbidden Sister by V.C. Andrews

Forbidden Sister

713 books to go!

Going through my scraps of notes so I can catch up a little with all the books I've read but haven't posted entries for.

Emmie remembers her big sister Roxy from when they were younger. Roxy was thrown out of the house for being a rebellious child and ended up working as a high priced call girl. Emmie wants to know more about Roxy, the sister she isn't supposed to contact or talk to. When devastating circumstances bring Roxy back into the family what will happen? Will the girls get along as the sisters they were meant to be?

Despite the fact that I made this book sound a little exciting it really wasn't all that good. The writers who write for V.C. Andrews don't know how to add a shocking twist to a story at all. The previous two novels I read ended up being very peaceful. Yet I still keep reading every time a new one comes out in hopes that it might end up good and juicy. Read her earlier works pass this one on by. I'm also a little miffed because I spilled coffee on the library's copy and ended up paying for a crappy book I didn't like.
