...and I should think of better titles.
Firest up, a few reviews. The Reformed Vampire Support Group by Catherine Jinks, is about Nina, a modern day vampire, who is part of a support group for vampires. However, the group isn't just there to stop them biting people; the vampires themselves are always sick and can't heal themselves like normal people.
The story starts when they discover that someone has decided to go and kill vampires, from believing all the horror stories about them, wheras these vampires are almost useless.
I thought this was a great twist on what "normal" vampires are like. I would reccommend this to people who like comedy, and vampires, and don't have a huge interest in teen romance novels.

Pink, Blue and Ugly
So, yesterday, I bought a box of pink horrors and the changeling for WH40k. I got them mainly so that I could do something on the turn I deep strike, and to stop some shooting using the Changeling. I would like to see a 50-man platoon squad of guardsmen shoot their own team. Also, it seems that even a baneblade can be affected, since Glamor of Tzeench is not a psychic power, but an ability. So now I'll be saving up for Fateweaver. I'm starting to like Tzeench because of their sneaky abilities.
In other news, I've found an artist I like, named Anne Stokes. Her website is here. Have a look, see if you like it.
Also, I've started listening to My Chemical Romance. My favorite songs are:

Shapeshifters
Well, I first saw this book as a MASSIVE book, 900 pages long. Then I found one of the individual books at a different library, and I thought "That sounds interesting" so I borrowed the omnibus.
I read the first few books and thought that they were good, but when I got to Wyrvenhail, I noticed it had a significant difference. It took me ages, until I realised that this was the only one where the main character isn't in love. I mean, in the first two, Hawksong and Snakecharm, Danica and Zane are in love, and in Falcondance Nicas wants to help Hai and Oliza. I'm not going to spoil Wolfcry by telling you who falls in love, but it was my favourite book in the series. Wyrvenhail seemed interesting at first because Hai is an interesting character, but the whole story seemed sad, until the end, like the Harry Potter books. I think this series is a must read for fantasy readers, and I wanted to read The Den of Shadows series, but I can't find it. I'm also reading Persistence of Memory and Token of Darkness.
