I have been reading, I swear.

So apparently, I have been spending so much time reading that I have not been on in I don't know how long to update my reviews! But I have been reading. I promise. I really have.

I have read the ENTIRE Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. And I loved it! It is definitely a must read. You will laugh you tushie off, and get so wrapped up in the romantic relationships that you will not be able to put the books down. I have to admit that I read a book a day. My poor fiance had to eat nothing but sandwiches for 2 weeks! I just could not bring myself to stop reading and get my lazy butt off the couch.

In July, I bought myself a Nook, the e reader from Barnes & Noble (this just reminds me how long it has been since I have updated my blog). And Barnes & Noble had an amazing sale this summer in which owners of the Nook got free classics. So I scooped up as many as I could. And so far I have read three of them.

• Dracula
• Tarzan of the Apes
• Treasure Island

Let me start with Treasure Island since it was the one I liked the least. I will admit that this book took me a long time to get through. I am not sure why. I just couldn't get into the story. And I had a very hard time understanding the dialect of the pirates. I realize that the pirates are not going to speak perfect academic English, but come on! It was very hard to get through. The story did clear up some things for me. The "Black Spot" for one thing. You hear about it in every pirate movie that was ever made, but now I know the origin of it! And Long John Silvers is in the story. It gave me quite a chuckle to think that the seafood fast food restaurant was named after a character in this book. I feel as though this is more a book for boys as opposed to girls.

I LOVED Tarzan of the Apes. Disney got it wrong, and I feel like they let me down. I could believe all of the things that Disney left out of the story. I know that they did this for the sake of the children who were watching it because some of the scenes were quiet graphic, but I feel as though now the movie is quite lacking. The ending surprised me though. I would never in a million years have guessed how the story would end. And I was saddened by it. This book moved me in ways that I never could have imagined. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone! I have already recommended it to my Partner in Crime.

Dracula has always been a book that I have wanted to read. I was not disappointed. It was a little slow in the beginning and for a few chapters in the middle as well, but that could happen in any book. I will say that the ending was very abrupt especially after all of the hype. I think Dracula is a must read! But if I were to read it again, I would spend Halloween day reading it in preparation of the holiday.

The last book I finished reading was the first book in the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Its called Night Pleasures. Of course its a supernatural romance novel, but don't let this stop you. The scenes in this book are amazing. And unlike some romance novels the background story is clear and makes sense. As the reader you want the couple to be together and over come all the odds. There is one problem I discovered though. This book contains a lot of facts to provide the background story. It can get confusing, but its worth it. And because I got this book on the Nook it contained a few typos. The story is still understandable, but typos always bother me in books. That is why they have editors!

I think that is everything. I am currently reading the second book in the Dark Hunters Series. I will also make sure to blog regularly. I don't want it to be month before I get to share more books.
