All hail the new Vampire Queen!
I started reading MaryJanice Davidson's "Undead and Unwed" this morning, and finished it this afternoon. It was a fun read, and I absolutely enjoyed it. I don't love it as much as I do my Terry Pratchett books, but still, it's a great new find, and one that I'm glad to have on my bookshelf. At times, it was a little too ludicrous, not that the notion of being a vampire is far-fetched, I mean, come on, I read Terry Pratchett, it's got the whole range of fantasy stuffed in them, but the fact that you become a vampire, and friends and loved ones just embrace you like it's any normal thing that could happen, that was kinda weird for me for a while and I didn't really buy it. But I still think it's a pretty good story.
The main character, Elizabeth "Betsy" Taylor, she cracks me up. Her obsession with designer shoes reminds me of Carrie from 'Sex and the City', I wonder if the author found a bit of inspiration from the TV show. I do like pretty shoes myself (although I don't think I have it as bad as Debbi :p), but I certainly will not pay $450 for a pair of Manolo Blahniks (according to Carrie), and that's in US dollars too, YIKES! I think it's good that my love of shoes isn't that deep, cross-stitch alone can cripple me, LOL. Anyways, I think Betsy is a fab character, I'm really looking forward to the next one, "Undead and Unemployed", I think it's gonna be another great one! For now, I've gotta bring Banzai for a walk, and when I get back, I wanna do some stitching. Her Drama-ness will be back later....maybe...*grin*

Tsk tsk, you and your shoe fetish :p Like I said, I don't have it as bad as you, but once I start working, maybe I can explore that avenue, LOL. I think Terrence will kill me first *grin* And yes, I love these books, I think it's just these 2 at the moment, but if you find any more, don't forget to let me know!
