Melancholy Musings: Circus Of The Damned

Circus Of The Damned

More weirdness courtesy of Bard Girl

I thought I'd go with the weird cover although this isn't my cover. What in the hell is that anyway? Yes it is another mystery cover. The one I have makes more sense since there is a big ass snake in the book. Not literally of course. If there was I'd still be running and screaming much like Cordy did when she escaped from the library in the season two finale of Buffy. Not a fan of snakes at all or boogers falling out of books. I guess it could have been a snack since someone people eat them. I'm not sure why but hey maybe they are low calorie snacks.

So I'm continuing my journey or rather rejourney into the world of Anita Blake and I'm already reading the fourth although by the time this posts I just might be close to reading the fifth. Since this is a series I suggest you go back to the first book since it's just better that way. Yes I'm a girl that reads books in order along with doing the walking reading thing. Sadly no one wants to pay me to do that even though it seems to impress some people.

Like the first two books this title is also the name of a place so there are clowns with fangs. Like clowns weren't scary enough without the fangs already. Come on you know Pennywise scares the hell out of you. It's just a good thing he isn't around here. And this is the book where Richard is introduced who Anita ends up dating. Well he is better than a dead guy. Come on we all know by now that vampires and humans are never a good combo and if there's a curse thrown in things get really bad. Jean-Claude why can't you just leave the poor girl alone.

Since Death never takes a holiday more murders show up but this time it reveals a master being in town with a pack. And speaking of Death Edward is back which means he wants to kill someone or rather something. Well if you want to know who he wants to kill you'll just have the read the book. What is it with Anita anyway and master vampires? Yes she gets into a bit of trouble and hell there's a lamia thrown in. What I found weird was the lamia who was a snake creature when it it usually another word for vampire.

So are there different types? In the Night World series by LJ Smith the born vampires are called lamias. And once again Anita gets marked. Oh what a pickle she's in but she's a survivor after all there are many books to go. It goes up to I think seventeen at this point so of course she won't die in her own series unless she does in the very last book. Yes I enjoyed the book otherwise I wouldn't be reading it again. It's just handy to finally have the books instead of having to rely on the series to enjoy it. Sadly the book fairy hasn't paid me a visit. Does someone know a way to get in contact with him or her?

Blogs To Check Out

Life: A Race To Run

There are so many blogs out there that it can be a bit overwhelming. When you have a blog you actually want people to stop by and read it at least I do. So if you're looking for another blog and you're a woman you might want to give this blog a read. And I'm sure you won't be turned away if you're a man although you might want to be careful to avoid setting off an alarm.

And if you happen to have some advice about using a Hair Iron to help control your wild hair I'm sure it will be much appreciated. Sadly I have nothing to say on that since I have straight as straight can be hair. So I came across this blog and urge you to do the same. I find it really handy when people point me in the direction of another blog. It's not like typing in a certain topic in the search engine is all that helpful. All too often you get too much or in my case things that aren't even remotely close to what I was looking for.

Technology Story

It seems like everyone has a blog today. Once you get a blog at a place that you like you start writing but there is more to it than that. At Joomla, Wordpress, Template, Tutorial & Troubleshooting you can get help with the other things that are involved in putting out a blog. Now one thing that has puzzled me are the AdSense Ads. Some people are actually able to make money with them but I never had any luck with them so I got rid of them.

Here at this blog you can find help on how you can get the right ads. When I had them up they usually tended to have nothing to do with my blog. Also another thing that people with blogs want would be a high PageRank. It is a necessary evil because this tells you how many people are visiting your blog. Of course we all want people to come because it's nice to meet other people and it can be pretty lonely in the blogosphere if no one reads your blog. This along with other things can be found in this most helpful blog.
