It’s about three in the afternoon, and technically, I should be asleep right now. That was my plan, anyway. Apparently, I would make a pretty lousy vampire (well, at least the old-fashioned kind who sleep all day and are up all night and don’t sparkle in the sunlight.) The reason I was hoping to be asleep right now, is because like an old-fashioned vampire, I will be up all night. Tonight is the night of the library lock-in and I will be bravely donning my chaperone t-shirt for a night of fun, games and sleeplessness. Wish me luck! Something tells me that tomorrow, I will have no difficulty whatsoever in being asleep at three in the afternoon.

I love to get book recommendations. I try to keep my little brown book of books to read beside my computer because these days most of my recommendations come via the computer in one form or another. Of course, sometimes I stash my little brown book in my purse if I am headed to the library or bookstore. Though, like my grocery shopping list, I usually forget to bring it with me. Not long ago writer, blogger and book recommender Heather McCorkle recommended Sucks to Be Me: The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton, Teen Vampire (maybe) by Kimberly Pauley and I added it to my list. I’m so glad I took Heather up on her recommendation. This is a fun book that turns the whole vampire genre on its head. Forget everything you thought you knew about Vampires....
