Second book in the Sookie Stackhouse series

I recently became a fan of the True Blood show on HBO. I decided to started reading the books. Dead Until Dark was well written with it’s Southern themes, vampire themes and romance themes.

Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer’s book tells stories of heartache, self-destruction, friendship, the effects of drug use on loved ones and redemption.

The sequel to Once a Runner focuses on the main character in his law career and dealing with the death of a friend. The sequel is well written and inspiring like Once a Runner.

Arthur Laurents’ book about his career first as a Broadway playwright then as a screenwriter and the struggles that came along of being in the entertainment industry. Very well written and it gives readers a feel of how writers navigate through the industry. The book is also inspiring.

It’s about a teenage girl dealing with the aftermath of a school shooting that her boyfriend carried out based on her hit list.

Very good non-fiction book about a non religious liberal college student who enrolls at Liberty University for a semester and changes some of his views on religion and evangelicalism.

Very good non fiction by Albom which is about he reconnects with Judaism through a dying rabbi and a black Detroit minister.

I read this book mainly because the movie that is out. It’s written in a unique style. It is a heartbreaking but inspiring book.
