Guilty Pleasures ~ Laurell Hamilton
This is the first book in the Anita Blake series. I just reread this for about the third time, I love this series, it is definitely a sci/fi or fantasy because in these novels Vampires exist, as well as shape shifters or Were's (several species) and vampires are legal citizens in the US. In order to legally deal with criminal vampires the government issues death warrants and vampire hunters then hunt down and kill them, it is illegal to kill a vampire without a warrant. In this novel, we are just being introduced to the world of Anita Blake, we meet a few vampires, as well as Edward, a bounty hunter, and Rafael, the Rat King, he is the leader of the local group of wererats. I love these and reread them fairly often.

This has a typical Janet Evanovich feel to it, and has most of the usual elements of an Evanovich book. Boy, girl, dog, trouble. The only thing missing is the comedy, still a great book.

Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood ~ Ann Brashares
This is the fourth book in the Traveling Pants series, and the conclusion to the same. This one starts out a little slow, had a weird feel to tit for a while, maybe it was just me, and I wasn't in the right frame of mind. All the girls have their own plans for the summer, and none of them involve being home or with each other, Tibby, Lena, and Carmen are all staying at school for different reasons, and Bee is going to Turkey for an Archeology dig. They continue to trade the pants, but it just doesn't have the same feel as the previous summers, they all pull away from the others for one reason or another.
