The days of this December have gone by rediculously fast. In approximately 13 days, I will be taking my last final to finally, yes FINALLY, graduate from College. Of course it's just a two year degree, but hey a degree is a degree so YAY! I will gain an Associate's in Liberal Arts: Humanities and Social Science. I won't be stopping there though, next fall I will be attending University at Albany to start all over again to get my Bachelor's in Sociology. I am thrilled to be at this point, and thrilled for a lonnnnnng break from school. I plan on reading lots of books. Here are some books that I am eagerly waiting to be released(some soon and some way down the road): Phantoms, Evil Thirsts, Creatures of Forever By: Christopher Pike This is three books in one, the last three books out of the six book series about vampires. I read the first set of books when it came out last year(another 3-in-1 book) and absolutely loved it. Here is a description of this one that is coming ...

Thirst has won me over

So I finished Thirst by Christopher Pike. It contains the first three books in The Last Vampire Series. I wasn't impressed at first but grew to like the books. The main character, Alisa or Lara(she has multiple names), whose real name is actually Sita, is very hard core. She has to be to survive hidden in the world, seeing as shes been in it since the beginning, she was born 5000 years ago. The author is very good at tying up the loose ends and at answering all of the questions I had as the books went on. He was good about spacing everything out so that I stayed hooked. It has a lot of the feel of numerous books from now a day, but of course it came out many years before most of the books on my shelf did(1994 to be exact.) I fell in love with most of the characters, the good ones at least, and even a bad one turned good. It definately had its sad parts, this is'nt some sappy vampire tale. I will definately be picking up Thirst No.2, which contains the fourth through sixth books...

Thirsty for more!

This week I am reading Thirst by Christopher Pike. It's three books in one so it's quite long. I finished the first part of the book last night and I enjoyed it very much. If I didn't sneak a peek at the publication date to see that this book was made in 1994 I would have thought it was from somewhere in the 2000's. The author in the beginning of the book just starts by having the character tell us all about herself, at first I didn't really like it but then the main characters straightforwardness started growing on me. I'm on the second part of the book now and I will probably be done with all three sections by tomorrow night. I'll post a full review when I i'm done! -Sherry
