Books on the shelf!

Finally got and finished “Armed and Glamorous” by Ellen Byerrum. It is the sixth book of Crimes of fashion series and featuring Lacy Smithsonian a reporter from DC.
The story was a little repetitive and boring as every one was asking Lacy about Fashion Clues. But the fashion columns were better than other stories!
As Shadows Fade” The Gardella Vampire Chronicles by Colleen Gleason was not a historical supernatural romance, more like a Sci Fi! OK, if you took out their gowns and carriages and put in normal twenty first century clothing the story can make sense! I mean these characters are not behaving like a 17 or18 century people, their dynamic is too modern! And so with a lot of disappointment I put the book down half way through chapter four! This was the first book I was reading of this author and from this series and am not going to read the book or follow the series!
Three little books about supernaturals during the World War II: “Bloody Good”, “Bloody Awful” and “Bloody Right” by Georgia Evans was fun. The series is not very exciting or action packed, even the fight scenes are kind of mellow. But I liked it! It was so peaceful! I know, it was supposed to be about war! A bunch of supernaturals in a sleepy country village of England find out that Germany has sent some vampire spies. As they try to discover the identity of the spies and neutralize them, they learn more about their supernatural friends, fall in love and survive bombings.
Am reading “Fool” by Christopher Moore, “Martyr” by Rory Clements and “The Tale of Applebeck Orchard” (The Cottage Tales of Beatrix P) by Susan Wittig Albert. Love love love this last one! The Cottage Tale series is funny, peaceful and full of amazing characters. I’m thinking of buying the whole series!
I am checking Ms. Wittig Albert’s website for her other series and putting hold on them in the library! I adore her simple humor and description of beautiful scenery. So good, so relaxing!
