Otherwise Engaged by Suzanne Finnamore: for the first half of the book or so I didn’t like the character much and couldn’t get into the novel. Towards the end, though, she became more human to me and I started liking the storyline. I actually liked it once I got past the first eighty pages or so. Not sure if I would try other books by this author, but I think it was her first novel, so others by her might be better.

The Bibliophile
: Kymberlie, 29, Pisces - a neurotic bibliophile that can never read enough, particularly in the vein of horror and mystery, but has begun to read more main-stream fiction lately. One of those peculiar readers who prefers anthologies to novels and regards a good short story as a precious gem.
: Favorite Authors - Stephen King, Laurell K. Hamilton, Clive Barker, H. P. Lovecraft, David Eddings, Pam Houston, Douglas Adams, Janet Evanovich, J. K. Rowling, David Sedaris, and Christopher Moore.
