Random quote: "No matter what they may have done in life, they must have started out innocent, as do we all, so don't be too hard on them. It was your fault for making them Human, which was a dirty trick. If you are out there somewhere, you ought to be ashamed of yourself." Valiha's remarks over 13 dead humans - John Varley (Demon)

Location: Middle TN, USA		A Bit of an eclectic mix this month:

I'm Currently reading "Marie Antoinette's Head" by Will Bashor (a completely wonderful biography of Leonard Autie, Marie Antoinette's hairdresser. I am about 1/2 through and am absolutely in love with it.)
Next on the list is" American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis (just because I liked the movie)
"Zom-B Angels" and "Zom-B Baby" by Darren Shan (These are a bit of a mixed bag as far as series go, but I am so far in the series and each book is hit or miss on weather I will like it so I just stick with it. they are audio books so they don't tax my mind)
"The Twelve" by Justin Cronin (I read the first novel in the series "The Passage" and I just loved it. A wonderful and different take on vampire literature.)

Location: Great Lakes, USA		I am almost finished with Jack Glass by Adam Roberts - pretty good so far. I have Burning Paradise by Robert Charles Wilson and Spillover by David Quammen (about animal viruses that jump species and infect humans) that I just got from the library. I have Under the Dome by Stephen King sitting on top of the TBR pile. Everytime I try to start that one, library holds become available or I go out of town and don't want to take a heavy book with me.

I got a bunch of potential books to try from the WOGF Challenge. Too many books...

Location: Middle TN, USA		January turned out to be a very productive month for me.
I am currently reading:
Drood by Dan Simmons for RYO Grand Masters challenge, and man, is Charles Dickens a tool or what!
I am also reading "Madame Du Berry" by Hugh Noel Williams, as a follow-up to Marie Antoinette's Head by Will Bashor which I also finished this month

I finished:
Corruption: Grumpy Old Wizards 2 by John O'Riley
Empty Mansion by Bill Dedmen
Quantum Spirit by Sallie Haws
The Twelve by Justin Cronin
Rest Not In Peace by Mel Starr
American Psycho by Bret Ellis so very very disturbing
Cravings by Liz Everly
Devil Brigade by Toni Odell
Abarat by Clive Barker (RYO Young Adult Challenge)
Sorcery and Cecelia by Patrica Wrede (RYO Young Adult Challenge)
Zom-B Angel and Zom-B Baby by Darren Shan
And the Short Story Extraction by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston

It looks impressive but 3 of them were short story size so not as impressive.
