Oh oh oh! I Forgot!

Oh one last thing. Amidst my emotional despair and moving-madness, I've wanted desperately for so long to suggest a new series of books. It's the series of vampire/witch/fairy/pixy/werewolve books by Kim Harrison. They are great. I've given up on Laurell Hamilton because her "Anita Blake - Vampire Hunter" books have become less funny, less dramatic and more vampire erotica crap than anything else. I couldn't even get through the last one because Anita was having sex with anything and everything and it just was stupid.

But the Harrison books are wonderful. They're funny, they're unassuming, and they are page turners. I've just finished the 3rd book in the series, Every Which Way But Dead....the first two are; Dead Witch Walking, and The Good, the Bad and the Dead.

Rachel Morgan is the main character who is an earth witch, and she shares an old converted church with a living vampire and a family of pixies.

Anne Rice has gone soft over the years and I can't seem to find another purely vampire series that held my attention as much as did Rice's vampire chronicles. So I've started reading other things. Still in the horror/occult/supernatural genre, but less intense, less homoerotic (yes Rice's books always bothered me in that sense) and generally less sexual in nature. I'm by no means a prude, but I like a little less sex with my vampires and fewer societal implications thrown into the mix as well.

Ok enough....off to Borders for reading material for peanut and I.
