graphic novel and comic collections

The Long Way Home (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight) by Joss Whedon - Buffy after the activation of all the slayers. Graphic novel. Nice. (A to Z)

Sinfest by Tatsuya Ishida
Life Is My Bitch by Tatsuya Ishida 

Both of these are comic collections of the web comic Sinfest - which I love. Slick, Monique, God, the Devil... great stuff.

Two by Tanith Lee

Louisa the Poisoner - kind of a twisted Victorian romance story. Liked it okay. (TBR challenge)

Gold Unicorn - sequel to Black Unicorn. Tanaquil is pressed into service under her half-sister, the Empress, and gives life to the gold unicorn, a war machine. Probably would have helped to re-read the other first. Lovely writing, but just didn't grab me. (888 challenge A to Z)

both: 100 books

three romances

Sizzling by Susan Mallery -  3rd in th Buchanan series. Fun fluff. (A to Z)

Getting Rid Of Bradley by Jennifer Crusie - more fun fluff - hardcover reprint of older paperback original.

Tempting by Susan Mallery - 4th in the Buchanan series. More fun fluff.

all: 100 books

edited 2/28/08 to add third book.

4 thrillers

Duma Key by Stephen King - Oh, man, this was good. Starts off  with a slightly supernatural bent and heads out into horror land. King writes great characters and tells an excellent story. It's large, but not bloated - it pulls you along at warp speed (except when your hands get too tired)
I wouldn't call it his 'best', but it's definitely one of his better ones.  (The Pub challenge, Chunkster)

The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz - A golden retriever is rescued from an abusive owner by Amy Redwing and her architect boyfriend Brian McCarthy. Nickie becomes a key figure in a twisted duo's plan of sadistic revenge. I enjoyed it, but didn't think it was his best (actually one of his bests includes a dog too - Watchers).

A Wicked Snow by Gregg Olsen - Nice and twisty procedural thriller. Hannah's present as a crime scene investigator comes into conflict with her past as a survivor of a female/male serial killer team - the female leader was her mother. Now it looks like her mother may not be dead, so Hannah reopens the case. I can't believe such a thing would be allowed, but, hey, it's fiction - and good. (A to Z)

The Intruders by Michael Marshall - Go read the summary at Amazon - it's too complicated :)  Kinda X-Files, kinda twisty thriller - requires a fair suspension of disbelief, but good writing and characters. (A to Z)
