A giant of a book!

Well it’s books again: “Jacob” by Jacquelyn Frank is the first book of The Nightwalkers series. Jacob is a demon and not any demon either, he is the Enforcer, the one who monitors others of his kind and protects humans from his people’s advances. But one cold night when he is out on a mission, a human girl falls from a window five story high and right into his embrace. Well, who’s gonna protect whom? That’s the question. I liked this book so much I’m going to find the second book of the series “Gideon”.
Then it was “Beneath the skin” by Savannah Russe. It is the third book of Darkwing Chronicles. In the first book “Beyond the Pale” we know Daphne Urban, daughter of a medieval pop and a vampire. Daphne has lived these last couple of centuries in solitude and away from vampire community and her political mother Mar Mar. Now she is invited to work at a governmental anti-terrorist agency in a team of vampires, team Darkwing. She meets Darius a spy/ vampire hunter and falls in love, saves the day (or night!) and turns Darius into vampire. In the second book “Past Redemption”, team Darkwing is investigating a new drug and the mafia who sell it. Daphne loses a team-mate and befriends a new guy, a black Irish cutie. In “Beneath the skin” Daphne is trying to get over Darius, know that Irish guy better, investigate a strange Countess and steal some important document for Mar Mar, and oh yes; help prevent an assassination. She is uber busy, but not enough to avoid a couple of mouth full of someone’s blood! The fourth book of the series “In the Blood” will be out in November.
Next it was “Wyrd Sisters” by Terry Pratchett turn. I love love love his Disc World novels. So funny and entertaining. In this book Granny Weatherwax and the other two witches of Ramtop are trying NOT to meddle in the affair of kingdom and they certainly are NOT helping anyone to be the new King. To know more about the Disc world and its characters check his website. Terry Pratchett is one of my favorite authors. He mixes humor, political and philosophical views, and references to classic literature and mythology into amazingly deep and funny stories. His latest book of Disc World series is “Making Money” which should hit the book stores pretty soon.
After all these great books, I checked a few Feng Shui and Astrology books, got my birth chart sorted and finished and am planning to start the latest book of Jennifer Crusie “Manhunting”.
I received my first text book of this quarter today, a massive 1100 page giant of a book on Advanced Engineering Math. I’m loosing my nerves and panicking really bad just by looking at it! I need to go shopping!
