I read voraciously (books can be just as delicious as a perfect cake) and I try to update my shelf at least once a week.

Some time ago, I started blogging weekly about one, or two, (sometimes more) of the books I've read. Oftentimes, those reviews don't make it onto my Shelfari page. If you're interested in my reviews (and other... more »

    Hello LadyDraconix,

    Cloudy and cool out there this morning, another dull day. Interesting shelf.

    "This was an interesting take on the typical Dracula story, and I loved it. I am not a fan of this genre. The only other vampire tales that I've read was Twilight. And, let me tell you this is nothing like it. I was interested in the premise of a suicidal Dracula." L. Collins

    Dracula: Hearts of Stone (Dracula is a good guy)

    We start with a shiny new pot of boiling water and add too many evil vampires, and not enough of the good biters. Toss in one suicidal Dracula; add a cup of mayhem and a dash of romance. Oh yes, and a pinch of mirth. Stir lovingly and you have a novel by A. J. Gallant. If it sounds like the recipe for you then you must read Dracula: Hearts of Stone.

    Please check out my author page for excerpts:

    Unrealistic or not my writing gives me hope. But with something like 50 000 books published a month it is a little discouraging. I can just picture my book underneath that pile being crushed. I didn’t think there were that many writers out there. Must be a factory out there producing them like peanut butter cookies.

    I Just finished it mere seconds ago and like all Maria V. Snyder's books I loved it. Which I'm very glad since I had high expectations. I fear the day that I pick up one of her books and am not instantly lost to the world she's created. I think this one would be my second or third favorite book of hers, Poison Study will always be the first it seems.

    Hey, just browsing and I saw your bookshelf. Some good Dean Koontz. He's one of my faves and a super-cool guy as well. I actually dedicated a book of mine called RUN to him because he's been such a great guy over the years (he's friends with my dad, so I get to call him once in a while and gush about him). Anywho, cool shelf; thanks for letting me browse!

    What is it about? And this Magic Study book looks good...I'm always looking for good fiction about women healers/witches and whatnot.

    How are you enjoying The Thirteenth Tale? I read it last month. Very dramatic. There are some excellent quotes in there about the magic of books and stories.
