The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore Hi-larious. Zombies, Santa, it is my kind of Christmas tale.

I was really surprised they got rid of Lori so quickly too. I keep wondering if they are going to have her show back up somehow?

I hope you get a chance to finish it this time. It is one of my very favorite books with great characters in everyday life situations.

I can't wait to read this I gave it to my sister for her birthday.

I recently finished reading/listening to Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe. This was a really fun autobiography, I find I like listening to Hollywood autobiographies especially since the last two, this and Carol Burnett's This Time Together have been narrated by the authors. Rob Lowe is a few years older than me so much of what he talks about sounds familiar from growing up in the 80's. He was moved out to California after his parents divorced and was smack dab in the middle of every Hollywood actor and ioconic happening I remember reading about all through my teens. He was like the Forrest Gump of Hollywood. He seems to have known everyone and been a part of everything. His neighborhood buddies were the Sheen's and the Penn's. He auditioned and or starred with most young actor's of his generation in films like The Outsiders and St. Elmo's Fire. He even had a relative who worked on the original Star Wars. It was a nice walk down memory lane and he tells his story in an even and engaging manner.Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography This Time Together: Laughter and Reflections

I'm not a big time travel reader it is usually incidental to the story. Probably the last thing I read that included time travel was Prada and Prejudice by Mandy Hubbard a fun YA loose retelling of Pride and Prejudice.

I am currently reading Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich. Wonderfully light and funny I am only on page 42 and Stephanie has already picked up a geriatric vampire who has dentures and found a body under the dumpster.

I loved Robopocalypse too and have told everyone to read it! I just want to say I knew that self parking cars were intrinsically evil!
