# 70 -- Pedro and Me

This book by Judd Winick is one graphic novel everyone should read. I was unaware of the title until it was pointed out to me as a GN that is not shelved in the 745.1 section.

The book is a story of two men from totally different backgrounds, their friendship, and the loss one has to live with when his friend dies. You wouldn't believe the power behind this "comic book" story.

Everyone should read it!

I give it 5 penguins....I'm using my iPad to post this so I will have to go back and create my links and add my penguins!

# 69 -- Insatiable

OMG! I LOVE MEG CABOT! Okay, so I'm a late bloomer! I didn't read any of the Princess books, I've not read her kid books either because they were getting popular AFTER I left the elementary library, BUT her Adult books are totally addicting to me! I LOVE THEM!

I got this one on loan from our public digital library and could not put it down! I'm dying to read some of her other adult novels, but I just found out that the sequel to this one is out....Overbite! I may have to break my rule of waiting for the book to hit the library and buy it for my Nook!

This is an adult vampire love story and so much fun to read! If you like the vampire genre, but have outgrown the YA novels, pick this one up! You will not be sorry!

# 68 -- The Black Echo

My father and husband read Michael Connelly, and specifically the Harry Bosch stories. I've not read any of them before and truthfully only picked this one up because Audible was running a special on the first in several series. I'd heard about them from the men in my life and thought I would give it a shot.

I really liked it! I'm ready to read more Bosch and see where his life takes him. I'll be setting up a stack to read through soon.

Harry Bosch is such an interesting character and the twists and turns that this story took me on did not prepare me for the ending! If you haven't read Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch, start with this one!
