The Gun Seller

First off, I will admit that I only bought this book because I'm completely off the deep end for Mr. Hugh Laurie. That being said...

I was hooked from the first sentence, "Imagine that you have to break someone's arm."
The book is -from what I understand- supposed to make fun of Bond type books/movies. And it certainly does it's job. But underneath the amusing take on todays spy circle is a brilliant story about our hero, Thomas Lang.

Poor Thomas finds himself in a lot more trouble then he bargined for, and paired with fiesty Sarah Woolf. It's action packed, quick paced, and chalked full of laughs. Well done. Though I would probably borrow it before buying it, it isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Special Announcement!!

So I happen to love the Chloe Neill series Chicagoland Vampires. There are a total of four books (as of 9/20/11) out. First being Some Girls Bite, the second being Friday Night Bites. Third is Twice Bitten, and the fourth installment is Hard Bitten

This series has it all. Love, laughter, family, friends, enemies. It's beautifully writen. You will fall in love with the characters and be left wanting more.

Speaking of wanting more...the fifth installment Drink Deep release date is November 1, 2011. I for one will be special ordering to make sure it shows up on my door step that same day.

Give this one a chance, I know you will love it!

Go to Chloe Neill for more info.

(and I also just noticed I haven't posted reviews for any of the first four books. So...I'll get right too it first thing in the morning. I have them on goodreads and librarything. So look out for them!)

101 Tips for Traveling with a Vampire by Joleene Naylor

This only takes about 20 minutes to read. It's basically just common sense travel tips, with a vampire twist. Very amusing. And it's just like the title, tips, it's not an actual story, keep that in mind.

3/5

Getting Rid of Bradley by Jennifer Crusie

Had the perfect amount of romance and action. Jennifer Crusie is becoming one of my favorites!

[Note: I plan to come back to this and write a better review as soon as I get more settled in with the blog]

This Will Not Look Good on My Resume by Jass Richards

Wow. This book was great. Brett Laramie has just about every job you can think of...and she's been fired from just as many.
The way this book is done, you really feel like you are there, or...at least a the bar hearing all the juicy details!
Wonderful read, funny, sarcastic. Loved it!

3/5

DEAD[ish] by Naomi Kramer

A very quick read, took me about an hour to get through it. Strong language. Linda is a ghost who wants to find her body so she hires Trent, a private investigator. Trent goes to her ex, who is the one who killed her, and humor ensues. I can’t think of a polite word to describe this book, but it is mildly humorous.

1/5

Ask Again Later by Jill A. Davis

This one was a very quick read, but I will admit that I had to push myself to do the reading. The characters didn't really do it for me. Not only was it confusing to keep them all straight, but they were introduced in such a way that they were very forgettable.

The idea of the book was a good try, and it had a bit of good humor, but all and all, I wouldn't read it again. Give it a try, though, and see what you think...

2/5

The Next Thing on my List by Jill Smolinski

Wow, there are some mixed reviews about this one. I, myself, got this book from my sister who just raved about how wonderful it was. So I thought I would give it a try and I thought it was wonderful. Unlike some of the other reviews, I think you should waste your time on this one.

Jill Smolinski takes you into the lives of 34 year old June Parker, who is just going through life, but after a car accident where her passenger, Marissa, gets killed, she decided to finish Marissa's "20 things to do before my 25th birthday".

June meets interesting people along the way, including herself. This book will have you in tears as any chick-lit book would, but Jill doesn't keep you there. This book has some very amusing high points that will have you laughing.

Give this one a try, you might be surprised, you might even find yourself writing your own list!
