About meMy name is Karin. I am an Asst. Professor at East Central University in Ada, OK. I teach in the Library Media Department. Before taking the position at ECU I was a library media specialist at a middle school in Norman, OK. I have been married for 15 years and have two dogs, two donkeys, and multiple Longhorns. I enjoy reading, watching TV and movies, and working on the computer. I have my Ph.D. in English Education and love making my husband call me Dr.

About my libraryI love reading books written for young adults. I have too many favorites to list.

As far as books I read not in the YA category, I enjoy paranormal romance, particularly vampire and werewolf. Authors like Laurell K. Hamilton, Maggie Shayne, and Charlaine Harris. I also enjoy the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher. I tend to go in phases. I'll get on a kick with a new series and read everything I can get my hands on by that author, but then I'll move onto something else.

Dr. Perry have you read the Maximum Ride books?

Great! Thanks so much :)

Mrs. Perry,

I have set up an account here, still have not located the join group button(?) if that is what I need to do so. Maybe a little help is required on my part, would you please tell me how to join? I have much to say on children's literature.

Sincerely,
Rachelle

Noticed you liked Lovely Bones, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here, as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it also contains a young female narrator struggling with a series of tragic circumstances. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Hey!

You're one of my Top 50 so I thought I'd stop by and say hello :D I loved Twilight too. I'm reading Jessica's guide on dating the dark side right now but I haven't had the time to read much :S
So anyway...hello :D

Hi Karin,

You're one of my top 50 similar libraries and I decided to have a gander at your books. I see you like your vampire fiction and was wondering if you'd read the Blood Books series by Tanya Huff? I LOVED them. Thought, I'd make a recommendation should you care to check them out.

Hi.. I liked An Open Vein, in particular the simplicity in the way it was told. I felt I was there with him, and could feel all that was happening. But then I do know the author, so I may be a little biased! lol How did you find it?

posted by michelle_bcf at 3:57 am (EST) on Aug 3, 2007

I had to say hello, as you're the only person with An Open Vein listed that I don't know. So, hello. :)

Did you see that the second Morgansville vampires book is coming out in April? I can't wait. I had an interesting email from Rachel Caine about the end of Glass Houses too, apparently she didn't mean for it to be that much of a cliffhanger.

Sorry about the delay on hearing back from me, I haven't been on lately. Anyways, there is a website called the Twilight Lexicon (http://twilightlexicon.com) and if you haven't heard of it you defintaly should check it out. Anyways, it's something that the admins there set up, and we ended in a local Hampton Inn rather than a resturant but there was just a pizza party and what not, definately a fun time ^^

Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

They seem to have a lot of different covers for the Geogia Nicolson books. I also liked the cartoony type ones, especially the one with Angus' kitten on the cover with the glasses. The live model ones are okay too. I think the model they picked to represent Georgia was pretty dead on.

I finished Snatched by Pete Hautman. It was a good book and although it was set in high school I think that it would probably appeal to grades 5-middle school more than high school. It was a cute mystery, very easy to read and I didn't guess the end (but then again I never figure anything out on my own LOL).

If you have a myspace you should send over a friend request :-) I think she was willing to take pics with everyone that had brought a camera...she's just nice like that. You'll have to let me know how the book festival goes!

I'm reading I am the Messenger now. I've just gotten past his finishing the first card. It's very different than what I usually read. Nary a vampire or a demon in sight LOL I haven't read the other books you mentioned, but I have heard of the Adventures of Fan Boy and Goth Girl (I think that's what it was). After Messenger Glass Houses by Rachel Caine and Snatched by Peter Hautman are next on my list.

I just finished The Last Days. It was pretty good. I don't really think you would need to read Peeps to understand it, except that reading Peeps would allow the reader to be more knowledgable than the characters about what is going on. It is a completely separate story. I did like Peeps a bit better, it was a bit more personal. I didn't really connect as much with the characters in this book although the story was interesting and strong enough to compensate for the loss.

posted by Jenson_AKA_DL at 7:10 pm (EST) on Oct 15, 2006

I'm starting The Last Days tonight. I read Peeps about a month or two ago and it's still relatively fresh in my memory. I'm looking forward to it :-)

I really did like A Certain Slant of Light, except as you said, the ending. I felt really bad about the hosts being left with the repercussions of what the ghosts had done with their bodies. But, on the other hand, it wasn't as though they were better off before the ghosts used them as hosts. It was kind of a catch 22 situation. Had they never been used, their spirits would probably have just faded away. But, now they are left with an unchangable situation that they can't remember the cause of. (I'm trying not to give too much away in case anyone else reading this wants to read the book as well).

posted by Jenson_AKA_DL at 11:46 am (EST) on Oct 12, 2006

Hi! Yes, I do think we have very similar reading tastes. I also love the Sherrilyn Kenyon books, although they are not in my catalog. Although I havn't read any Anita Blake, I've heard good things about them.

I saw you have A Certain Slant of Light on your list. I'm curious, what did you think of the book?
