Media Roll Call

6) Once Upon A Valentine by Stephanie Bond, Leslie Kelly, Michelle Rowen - A surprisingly charming collection of romance shorts based on the concept of "fairy tales" that made for a fast and easy read. All three authors had cute stories and some skill. I might have to look for longer works by them all.

7) A Model Marriage by Jo Ann Ferguson - I suppose the best way to describe this regency romance is... mediocre. Like many others I find, there is potential but things are muddled by too many glitches or mistakes. Like abrupt changes of character. Ummm, devoted sister to OMG NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN SNUB SNUB SNUB? So back to the used book store it goes.

8) Dracula by Bram Stoker - Believe it or not, I have never read this before. For shame. I'm a vampire story lover, after all. I had been warned it was dry but I actually found it to be a smooth, interesting read (once I got the knack of getting through bloody Seward's entries in the right manner and got my eye used to the stilted wording of Van Helsing). I'm really glad I read it and now I'll probably have to get my own copy for future use. Though it did give me bizarre head theories and hilarity as I finished it late into the night...
