I Am Number Four... no wait, that was the last book.

I just completed book number 4 of my 2011 reading challenge. This one was considered one of my free choices as it doesn't fall into any of the categories of my challenge. Lord of Misrule by Rachel Caine is the 5th book in the Morganville Vampires series. This series has not lost it's appeal to me yet and I don't think it will. The author has kept up her standard of writing and continues to shock and excite me. I'm still in love with Shane's character, still invested in all of the characters lives as well.
For whatever reason, I know this sounds odd, but I have always had a tough time reading mass market books. I don't know if it's because there are so many words crammed onto very little pages or something else, but since as long as I can remember I have had trouble reading them. I always prefer to buy hardcovers or regular paperback books. I have found recently that I can push myself to read them but mostly only if I am already in love with a series or really really want to read the book in question. This series is hard to find in regular paperback now and seeing as the next omnibus isn't out until March, I picked up the mass markets so I could continue reading them. It did take me a little while to get moving into the book but once I really fell into the world of Morganville, I was fine.
Funny thing about these books is that I actually have scary vampire dreams while reading them. I have never had frightening dreams about vampires no matter what books I am reading at the time. Whenever a bloodsucker is in my dreams at night, I always wake up with a smile on my face. (Yes I know I am a bizarre person). For some reason these books bring me to a mindset where vampires are dangerous. Hmm Go figure. I should probably read a book that is on one of my challenge lists next. Even though I would love to make sure my Shane is ok. Harumph!
