What can I say? I love to read. That's why I am here, right?

Along with reading, I love to belly dance. Belly dance is a passion of mine.

    A tale of magic, romance and fangs.

    This MIGHT be a little like Dracula if written by J. K. Rowling. It’s a place where magic and vampires interweave for an exciting adventure. Dracula: HEARTS OF STONE
    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 new novel by A. J. Gallant. If it sounds like the recipe for you then you must read Dracula: Hearts of Stone. Dracula commands it.

    Hi Vonnie ! Happy New Year !

    I have a question or two about the winter challenge. I read It will be Different Next Year, by Maeve Binchy in December. It was the longest on my To be read shelf, but I read it well before your mini challenge. It is a short story compilation and all the stories are about Christmas, but I am not sure it fits under the winter title challenge. It also could fit under family, since at least 2/3 of the stories have to do with family, but "family" is not in the tags.....

    Anyway, I was hoping to use it for the challenge since it is the one book of 8 in December that might fit, and I am scurrying around getting others for the challenge. Let me know. Thanks !

    Hey: I have a quick question regarding the winter challenge. I have a whole stack on my bedside table and I was hoping to use as many books as a can from the stack I already have...... so with that being said for the 'winter theme' I was hoping to use a book entitled Angelfire becuase it has the word Angel in the title. is that stretching it too far?

    Oh yeah, I didn't think of going to the book page! That would prob be easier (if I recognize who the members are).
    I didn't have a particular book in mind yet, just for when I do.
    Thanks!

    Hey Vonnie - about the "winter challenge" -
    Is there an easy way to figure out if a book is on a members bookshelf?
    Like if I have a book in mind, is there a way to see if it is on anyone's shelf without clicking on each person and looking all through their shelf?
    Is there a trick?

    So I saw you liked the Peach Keeper and I must say I loved it as well. Sarah Addison Allen has got to be one of my top five favorite authors. Which book of hers is your favorite? Mine has to be Garden Spells, it was just so good!

    BANNED BOOKS??! Excellent theme!!! I am constantly amazed that we are still BANNING books in America! Way to raise awareness, Vonnie. I added a reply with those books that were most challenged (not even banned) in 2010. 20freaking10! Idiots.

    No problem, I think I caught on after copying over from the first thread. I think I have only one left - a BOTM, and then an Oprah selection if I can get one before Aug. 16th for the new mini challenge.

    Vonnie,

    I thought I had finished Sizzling Sixteen in time, and I found it on the list for a year or so ago. Did I miscalculate ?? Just wondering. Let me know. Thanks !

    Hi Vonnie
    I have a question regarding the summer read theme. I just finished Mermaid and was wondering if it would qualify as a summer read theme book? Mermaid swim in the ocean...before I post my review I want to make sure it qualifies.
    thanks
