I am going to see about getting that Thursday off from my "real" job, but won't know if I can for another few weeks!

I requested the audiobook to review and LOVED it! The author was so good at blending the real history of the times, and Abe Lincoln's actual life, with Vampires that it all seemed so believable. I'll be having a giveaway for the audiobook this coming week so ENTER! <br /><br />What a great idea for your book club! I haven't read Edgar Allan Poe in a long time, but always enjoyed his stories!Suzanne Yesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340451897624838384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-57966860786298820702010-04-26T06:34:28.291-04:002010-04-26T06:34:28.291-04:00Hi Helen!

So many p...Hi Suzanne,<br /><br />Enjoyed reading your blog.<br /><br />So many people have mentioned this "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" book on line that I guess I am going to have to break down and buy myself a copy. (I resisted a similar urge awhile back with Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, but I don't think I will be able to hold out any longer!)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the link to the Edgars as well. My book club had an Edgar Allan Poe month last October, and we read a couple of his mysteries, after which I really got into them for awhile.<br /><br />-JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-18924370234075918702010-04-25T15:22:11.740-04:002010-04-25T15:22:11.740-04:00I just finished Breathing Water by Timothy Hallina...I just finished Breathing Water by Timothy Hallinan. I liked it, but it took me a long time to get into it. It was a setting that I didn't want to go to and the character names confused me. I did finally get into it and came to like the characters (most of them).<br /><br />Helen<br /><a href="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Straight From Hel</a>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-90404965408136471222010-04-25T14:42:21.847-04:002010-04-25T14:42:21.847-04:00Hi Michelle & Leslie!
