I know I know... always a vampire novel (#54)

I finished yet another book before the year is up. This one was very special because it was not only a Christmas gift from my husband but it was also personalized. The book is titled Vampire Kisses and my husband and I were the stars of the book. Also in the book was my close friend, Michele and my cat, Peanut Butter. Because the company who makes the book only asked for one pets name, my husband used our dogs name when asked for a restaurant name... McFly's.
Though it was a lot of fun reading a book that I was in, it was a bit corny. I found it hard to picture my husband as the main character because he  didn't have nearly the same personality. The Michael in the book was way too old fashioned to be my husband and also... way to suave. The main character... me... was easily believable because, not only did she look like me but she was a book worm who spent most of her time at the library reading and studying. Michele is nothing like the character that was portrayed in the book, except that she was a really good friend. I felt like they were always trying to show off the fact that it was personalized by constantly saying what each character looked like every time they mentioned them. Regretfully there were no real good love scenes or "vampire" scenes. I did enjoy reading it because I had really wanted it mostly for the novelty of it. (Though the picture above is a paperback.. my husband got me the hardcover)
