Just finished The Passage: A Novel by Justin Cronin.

Wow - this one's a page turner for sure!! I got a lot less sleep because I just had to read one more chapter for before turning in for the night.

It begins in 2018 asall hell breaks loose when a human engineered virus turns the majority of the population into vampires (and not the Edward & Bella kind). It then fast forwards 100 years to the post-apocalyptic world where the remaining humans are trying to survive.

It's the first book of a trilogy with the second installment due this year (2012).

I do read pretty quickly but these two are also quite "bite sized" ) I'm impatiently waiting for the third book now.

Just finished reading Elizabeth I by Margaret George and Itoo found itvery well written.

I do wish we could have had more of Elizabeth's early life included in it as I find her early struggles fascinating.

If you're looking for an antidote to "damsel in distress-ites" check out The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins . I just finished these adventures of Katniss Everdeenin her post-apocalyptic world and really enjoyed them. Of course, I'm also a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer so that may be why )

I've just finishedthe New York Times bestseller The Magicians: A Novel and it's followup The Magician King: A Novel by Lev Grossman .

If you like fantasy & magic, these books will probably appeal to you as theyare sometimes referred to as "Harry Potter for adults". Grossman has a great "turn of phrase" and I really enjoyed his contemporary references. I am hoping that there will bemore in the series!

That's interesting!

I've read & enjoyed The Autobiography of Henry VIII: With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers , Mary Queen of Scotland & The Isles: A Novel and The Memoirs of Cleopatra: A Novel by Margaret George but I didn't know that she had written Elizabeth I. I will be adding it to my list for certain. Thanks!

I just finished A Dance with Dragons: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Five myself having started the series earlier this year on the recommendation of a friend. All I have to say is GRRM better not die before finishing the last two books of the series

I just finished Dracula in Love by Karen Essex. It's the classic tale with a twist as it is told from Mina's perspective. I quite enjoyed it!

I also managed to finish The Help by Kathryn Stockett before the movie actually came out. I thought the book was great but I'm still undecided about seeing the movie.
