More or less useless

Reading a bunch of different books:

A few psychology books, some style and fashion books, a couple on “how learn French” and:

“Streetstyle: From Sidewalk to Catwalk” by Ted Polhemus is about meaning, history and the cults who shaped the different styles, from Zooties to punk to Goths. Very interesting reading!

“Bullet” the latest in Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. Hamilton. Have I told you about my masochistic tendencies and how I like to poke a painful tooth? Yeah, here is another proof to that theory!

This whole Anita story with her power getting stronger and her lovers getting more numerous and Mommy Dearest wanting her more and more has become worse than ridiculous. Why do I read it, o god; why?!

And just to feel a little better, the latest book of Jayne Castle “Midnight Crystal” (Book Three of the Dreamlight Trilogy). This book can also be part of Ghost Hunters/Harmony series, happening in the same timeframe and location as the “Obsidian Prey”. Two powerful figures have to join forces in order to save their city, their friends and ultimately each others’ lives. What makes the whole plot going is the bad blood between the two families going back thousands of years. Ooh, just you know, it is happy-ending; so no worries!

Royal Blood

These days I’m doing more writing than reading. But I can say with absolute certainty that “Royal Blood” the fourth book of A Royal Spyness Mystery series by by Rhys Bowen was the best I’ve read this month.

The story was funny and Lady Georgie’s character as endearing as ever. The handsome Darcy was charming although the whole mystery was a little tame. If you must know, Georgie goes to Transylvania to be bridesmaid in a royal wedding but all everyone asks her about Romania is whether she will encounter any vampire or werewolf.

What had me a little disappointed was the present of Belinda and Georgie’s mom in that castle in Romania. Were their presences really necessary to the story? I think not. Aside from that, the book my dears; is simply marvelous!
