Zi’s favorite Books through the years
The Book Cat
No I do mean cat not worm… My cat will actually read with me!
So I thought I’d share our favorite reads with you on this page, besides trying to make it a little more organized than it was on the No Bummer Summer Reader lens.
I was at my Nana’s where they have a few bookcases & went rummaging through to see if there were any Ineeded or any interesting. When they got home.. Sully was sniffing them all out, I wonder if that’s how she decides which ones she’ll read with me.

My favorite Series
Witchling is the first book of my favorite series, Check out Yasmine Galenorn’s Otherworld series
I also have a page on J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood & an upcoming one for any Janet Evanovich books I read. But just to note… I may have yet to publish (& only will once I have enough information and reviews)
I’ve read Dark Lover & Lover Avenged books once before but I will re-read them (so far I have Read Dark Lover but & am currently re-reading and while I read the first 6 books I’ll read the insider’s guide alongside them.
You want my reviews and usch on that, I have to appologize but you will have to check out J.R. War’s Black Dagger Brotherhood. (Tehre should be a link somewhere on this page or you can find my 2014 Reading room lens)
The Other world series (which I’ve also heard called The Sisters of the Moon or the D’Artigo sisters)
is by Yasmine Galenorn . There is a variety of reasons I love this series which for one Its many genres in one.
Hexed, Inked & Never After are anthologies but have a story by Yasmine Galenorn in them that go with the Otherworld series.
For more, You will ned to check out Yasmine Galenorn’s otherworld (I had to make a seperate page for this series as well.)
The Savannah Vampire series I think this was called by Raven Hart.
This is just one of I think 6. (I thought there woudl be another but I have yet to find It.
I remember not wanting to put them down but as far as being able to wright a plot summary It’s been too long.
My favorite book from the series. The main character of this was a whip! Sarcastic & Sassy & none f the other books came close. (The character in this should make more apperances in the others! I may have had a laugh or more each chapter. The other books were still cool but this to me was the best.
Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich
— Edgar Allen Poe- The Raven

Biographies & Memoirs
my Favorite Bio or Memoir ever! The book is written as if Sully is actually sitting there telling you, not like you are reading it. There’s a favorite quote as well as a favorite part I can see perfectly (in my own way) in my head!
I love the art of it, it looks like a graphic novel. I did enjoy reading it a well but do not remember much about it
Not many Comediens make me laugh but ‘Dun-ham’ just clicks the tickle switch with me. Not to mention I love the unique act he has. He’s jsut not stand up there walking back & forth on the stage. The book pretty much is the same.. and Peanut, Ahkmed & walter even chime in here & there!
Beyond the Crease Martin Brodeur
Still To read

Misc faves
Ruby by V.C. Andrews
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto by Chuck Klosterman
Recommended 2 me
the following are 3 referrals I received
Nikki Sixx the Heroine Diaries … I Love the art in the book
Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs. which is a book of essays that though,I was sceptical on reading something like that, was pretty interesting and funny. Loved the Questions in the middle of the book. Good for ice breakers & to get a conversation going) so thank you to Viki for a great recommendation.
Dracula Undead was Recommended by my friend Jane & writes
“‘Dracula-the UNdead’. It’s apparenlty the official sequel to Bram Stokers Dracula, it’s co-written by Ian Holt and Dacre Stoker. So far, really enjoying it, very dark, as it should be! The twist in this tale, Bram himself is in it, and putting on a show of Dracula at the Lyceum, people thinking it’s pure fantasy, and the son of Jonathon and Mina Harker, Quincy, is an actor who wants to work on the play. However, he finds out that it’s all true and the charecters in it are his parents and their associates. That’s about as far as I have got so far. There is also another twist in it, in that the police think Van Helsing might be Jack the Ripper, although it’s some 25 years after those murders. It’s a good read, and I love the Jack the Ripper connection” I was finally able to read it You can find the review on my 2013 year of the book series (quest) .
*Christopher Moore books Read a few you will find them on the Quest Posts
