The Radley's - Matt Haig

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would read a book about VAMPIRES!  Seriously... who does that?!?!  Well, now I know. 

I won this book on GoodReads and thought I would give it to my grand-daughter because she read all the Twilight books and liked them. Before I could get it to her, I thought... what the heck, I'll check it out to see exactly what she sees in this type of book.  What have I been missing!?!?  I couldn't put this book down.  It was about a nice, loving family with two normal kids... until all H - E - double hockey sticks breaks out! There were some gorey parts, but they were handled very well and didn't gross me out.

What did I learn from this book?

1. You can't judge a book by it's cover.
2. Don't rule out a book because of it's genre.
3. I will be looking for more books by this author.
4. That grand-daughter I talked about.. she's one smart cookie!

Whew! That was my first review of a book. It isn't very long or detailed, but I'll get better.

Do You Want to Know What I Think?

Alright, maybe that's not quite the right title to start out. Most people don't know me and couldn't care less what I think. That's fine... but THEY will be missing out on learning about some fantastic books that are soon to hit the shelves.  Of course THEY will also miss out on learning which ones to stay away from (IMHO).  I will tell you whether or not I liked the book, but more importantly... I will tell you WHY! 

I may not like a book because it has non-stop erotic scenes, but that may be exactly what you are looking for. It may be geared for someone much younger than me, but just right for your age bracket. I may love the book for getting to the point right away so I can enjoy it and get on to the next adventure, while you may want to know each and every detail of every person or location.

Most of the books I will be blogging about are ARC's (Advanced Reader Copies). A lot of them I have won from GoodReads, some are from The Story Plant. 

This is my first blogging experience, so come on along in the next chapter of my life!
