If the Cal Macdonald Mystery reminded me of the Buffy/Angel world, then 30 Days is more Xfiles. Not the alien conspiracy episodes, the some of whoo-whoo episodes that had a more 'real'/thriller feel to them.vanessa jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059178422559443067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1154788614984455772006-08-05T10:36:00.000-04:002006-08-05T10:36:00.000-04:00Sela, the Cal MacDonald books sort of remind me of...Sela, the Cal MacDonald books sort of remind me of the Buffy/Angel universe, lots of smart ass wise-cracks, etc. Not really scary and worth the read. The Mulvany books are romances with a very suspence line tinged with the paranormal (usually centering around some magical jewel.) I really loved Run No More and the second books sounds just as intriguing.<BR/><BR/>I am enjoying the 'quiet'. ;-)vanessa jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059178422559443067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1154788429019330722006-08-05T10:33:00.000-04:002006-08-05T10:33:00.000-04:00Cece, all the books listed are good reads.

Mostly revisions/edits--primarily to get my head back into the story. <BR/><BR/>Today, after I go get a pedi-mani & my eyebrows done, and groceries... lol...

I agree on the 'skimpiness' of the first book vs the money, *when* compared to regular novels. but graphic novels cost $15-$30 here, and comic books around $5. When I made that comparison, the book was a bargain! lol. <BR/><BR/>Aside from the Guns, Drugs and Monsters I think I saw a Cal MacDonald Mysteries anthology with several different authors (including Steve Niles) contributing.vanessa jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059178422559443067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1154784393049742592006-08-05T09:26:00.000-04:002006-08-05T09:26:00.000-04:00Can't ready scary books, can't watch scary movies....Can't ready scary books, can't watch scary movies.

Because if it is, I need to pick it up. I actually liked that book, even if it had acres of margins and was probably a novella stretched into a single title book. ;)Jordan Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437563784716604402noreply@blogger.com
