This was a cute story...quick easy read...got it free on my Kindle.

MARCH 2011

13. Candle in the Darkness by Lynn Austin.
Great Historical Fiction taking place during the Civil War.

14. Darkness Dawns by Dianne Duvall
I really enjoyed this paranormal romance...however, it is the first in a series that hasn't been finished yet...I don't like waiting. I am trying to read all free kindle downloads this month...so far so good.

19. Kiss of Midnight by Lara Adrian This one was just ok for me...I enjoyed it, but it was nothing special. I will probably eventually read the next in the series, to see how it goes.

20. Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts I really enjoyed the first half of this book (the descriptions of India's people and places was amazing)...the second half (of this 1000 page book), not so much.

21. Vamps and the City by Kerrelyn Sparks This book was not as good as the first in the series...hope the third one gets back on track.

22. Be Still My Vampire Heart by Kerrelyn Sparks I am reading these for a reading challenge (3 in a row froma series). I was desappointed in the last one, but this one redeemed itself...I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next in the series.

23. The Undead Next Door by Kerrelyn Sparks Not as good as the last one. Seems to be hit or miss with this series...not sure if I will continue.

MAY 2011

24. All I Want for Christmas Is a Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks This was one of my favorites in the series so far.

26. Kiss and Tell by Cherry Adair Just OK.

JUNE 2011

27. The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett Awesome book!!!

28. A Knight in Central Park by Theresa Ragan Free Kindle book...just so so for me.

29. Secret Life of a Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks Another good one in this series.

30. Napoleon's Pyramids by William Dietrich This one started out a little too heavy on the history for my taste...second half picked up with much more action...might read the next in the series.

JULY 2011

31. Stingray Bit My Nipple!: True Stories from Real Travelers by Erik Torkells A few of the stories were funny...not as hilarious as I thought it would be though.
