I know it sounds strange, but as much as I write, I hardly ever read.  Reading to me is a luxury that is afforded by time, that which I have not much of.  Boo!  But it was almost two years ago when I came across a book title while glancing through an issue of Entertainment Weekly that right then and there I knew I had to have.  That title was none other than Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.  All I have to say is wow!  I loved it so much I did what I never did before…I wrote a review about it (make sure you check it out here).  Okay.  Maybe that’s not too special, but it was my first book review ever.  That’s something to be proud of, right?  Well I think so!
