Books

Tuesday, I finally finished a book I had designated to read only when I was on my lunch break at work.  Let's just say I couldn't get enough of it!  The book I'm currently raving about is Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith.  He is also the author of Pride Prejudice and Zombies, which is the next book on my list to read.  The Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter book is a combination of true historical facts, and fiction.  As much as I love history and hate history being skewed, I loved this book!  It starts with a young Abraham watching his mother die from an unknown illness, to his discovery that his mother was killed by a loan-shark vampire.  It is this event that catapults young Abraham into a vengeful rage where he professes to kill every single vampire.  The story follows his political aspirations from the very beginning to the absolute end of his political career.  The book is full of accurate historical facts that is meshed with a vampire agenda to take over the whole of the United States.  If you enjoy the amazing story of Abraham Lincoln, and secretly enjoy stories about vampires you will love this book!  I definitely recommend reading this book.  
My book on my desk w/my Trueblood book mark!



Current read:Pride and Prejudice and Zombies:Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith.  This is suppose to be a prequel to the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith.  So far I've only read about 3 chapters of the book.  It does not follow the story that we know as Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen.  But since I am a avid horror lover this book should be right up my alley, even if it doesn't follow the story that I have proclaimed to be my favorite.
