What's On Your Nightstand is hosted at 5 Minutes for Books.Kiss of Life by Daniel Waters. I am reading the second Generation Dead novel. I hope to get to the third, Passing Strange, soon. The books star a diverse cast of
Fire by Kristin Cashore. YA Fantasy. 18 chapters in.
Knightley Academy by Violet Haberdasher. Alternate Victorian historical setting. The synopsis (borrowed from B&N): In Violet Haberdasher's Knightley Academy, the first commoner accepted at a prestigous boarding school uncovers a conspiracy that could lead to war. 6 chapters in.
Venetia by Georgette Heyer. Regency romance novel. I am listening to this one and reading it. It is such a great read so far. 8 chapters in.
Emma and the Vampires by Jane Austen and Wayne Josephson. Paranormal retelling of Jane Austen classic. It releases mid-August, I believe. 4 chapters in.
X Isle by Steve Augarde. YA Dystopia. Synopsis (borrowed from B&N) Ever since the floods came and washed the world away, survivors have been desperate to win a place on X-Isle, the island where life is rumored to be easier than on what's left of the mainland.

Sometimes I think I'd be much more productive if I read multiple books at once but it just isn't a forte of mine sadly. These re-tellings of the Jane Austen books all look so fun! Great list!
Differently biotic individuals? Is that the P/C term these days? LOL!
I'm not sure what to think of the Jane Austen remakes--I'm somewhat of a traditionalist and zombies, sea monsters, and vampires don't really float my boat.
I am so terrible at juggling multiple books... but if I had all the time in the world, I would love to just go through a book each day! :)
Enjoy your reading this month!

I am a one-at-a-time kind of reader. I only have my current read on my nightstand....
I admire how you can read books "at the same time". The most I can manage is two--and even that's pushing it! :)
I just read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It was not excellent but it was fun. :)
Hmm. I have Fire and Kiss of Life on my TBR pile at the moment, can't wait to hear what you think about them!
