Nadia G'sBitchin Kitchen Cookin' For Trouble:

Nadia G'sBitchin Kitchen Cookin' For Trouble By: Nadia G
Non-fiction: cooking 197 pages
Book Count: 32

This book stays very close to the format of the TV show, for example some of the things are exactly the same things said on the show (if not most, I haven't seen every one.)  So if you like the show you will like the book.  Also, if you like maple syrup and kind of Itailian words you will like the book.  And the food looks good too.

The Nosferatu Scroll:


The Nosferatu Scroll By: James Becker

Fiction: mystery, paranormal 466 pages

Book Count: 31



This book is part of a series about a British cop and his antiques expert ex-wife. In this one they travel to Venice and get wrapped up with a vampire cult. The book intertwines both their story and that of a young woman kidnapped by the cult. Over all it is an interesting story, but there is some disturbing scenes as well as a Dan Brown feel of being controversial to sell book. (This story not as badly as the other in the series clearly are, but still it is noticeable.)
