My not so dead series


I started reading the series through a co-worker who can't seem to put the book down because of her common traits with the heroine. They both love shoes, and because she sensed that I love books and i love a good laugh she recommended me the Undead series by Mary Janice Davidson and next thing I know I am collecting the books myself. This is my first Vampire series book.
Since I knew that my guilty pleasure is reading books and could not resist exiting a bookstore without a book on hand I made a book list which keeps getting longer, so one of things listed there are books number 7 and 8 of the Undead series.
I recently bought book # 7 Undead and Unworthy which has a new cover (if you are reading the US cover)and I'm really glad MJ Davidson wrote a disclaimer to its readers. I noticed that the book became more adult, more cursing from the characters and more gory than the previous books.
Another more are names of designer shoes who are very much in season (very good update for me). Sinclair for me is getting wiser as well as sexier. I think he is compensating to act more of a traditional King of the Vampire that we know because Queen Betsy isn't what old schools think of.
I am looking forward for more of their enemies, and more powers for our Queen as she discovers more about herself through the journey, more reason for us to wait for the other books.
If you want to read this book, I suggest you start with book 1, to appreciate the characters, the storyline and the development of the book.
This book I think is not your usual young adult book so parental guidance is recommended.
The 8th installment is already out Undead and Unwelcome, but I think I will wait for the paperback. For now, book #7 is Shelved with the others.

Home is where the Heart is

You can take the Pinoy out of the Philippines but, you can't take the Philippines out of the Pinoy. In the case, food... - Nicanor David Jr. from "Kwentong Tambay", 2006 Ah this one is true, I've heard of it. I came from a family who works abroad, halos lahat sila, actually konti na nga lang kami dito sa Pilipinas e. Anyway, back sa topic. My sister lives in UK been there for quite some time and she went here in the Philippines after 5 years and the first thing she asked me to do is Dial 8-7000 (singing: Jollibee Delivery). My Dad is in USA for, well, a very long time now and once in a awhile if there is a family friend visiting Philippines we will ask them to bring my dad several frozen tapa from the famous Maty's in Prañaque which is in a microwavable container. Filipinos can endure the work and long hours abroad but they can't really resist not to look for Filipino food. I remembered my cousin who's in Singapore she was telling us how she craved for ric...

The Reading Challenge

At the start of the year there were two reading challenges I committed myself to The Goodreads Reading Challenge where you will decide how many books you can read for the year. The other one I got from my cousin but upon searching in Google it's a Popsugar Reading Challenge.  I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...

Weird of the weird

As you know, reading is the thing I love most and I can say things I know, like bits of trivia that I suddenly blurt out comes from the things I read, so there's a big chance that I dreamed of them as well. You know I'd like to dream about the handsome leading man in my Chic-lit books, or be the witty heroine from the magical world I once in a while read. But what are the odds of dreaming about a vampire. Nope. Not Edward Cullen but, traditional vampire, the blood sucking cruel creature we know. From my dream, he chased me, someone I know became a vampire and I really look succulent in his eyes so he attacked me and pin me down to suck the blood out of me,but not in the neck and looks sexy just like in the movies, no, he sucked my blood through my stomach, and I wonder if Vampire ever get High blood pressure, there were lots of fats from my belly. If you think that's th e weirdest of things, the next day I dreamt of a chimaera, a mythical creature who has a lion's head,...
