Samples Readathon Today

As promised, today will be dedicated to reading all the many, many samples I have lingering on my Kindle.  As the day goes on I'll be updating this page with the books I plan to read, or not to read, based on the sample chapters.  Will I read every word of every sample?  Probably not- some books I can tell right away are a perfect match, while others I can tell right away aren't going to be a match made in Reading Heaven (where all the good little readers go). 

I do have other things to do today, which is my only day off this week before Readathon, but I will try to do as much damage as I can in the attempt to tame my ever growing samples pile.

Books To Read:
1. Favorite by Karen McQuestion- awesome author last name, no?
2. Green Witch by Alice Hoffman- have no idea why I had the sample, I already know I want to read this.  Sometimes I download samples as reminders to buy though.
3. You by Charles Benoit- the style is intriguing, willing to see if it holds up for an entire novel.
4. Nothing Like You by Matteo Trisolin and Lauren Strasnick- so far, so good.
5. The Love Goddess' Cooking School by Melissa Senate- yes, more please!
6. Alice I have Been: A Novel by Melanie Benjamin- very interesting so far.
7. Ravens by George Dawes Green- again, I dug the sample.
8. Mermaid Park by Beth Mayall- not sure what this will end up being about, but I already like the characters.

Books to Maybe Read:
1. Juliet by Piers Anthony- love his Xanth novels, but the sample was way too short to tell if I'd like it or not.
2. Elixir by Hilary Duff and Kevin Twomey- not really impressed by what I read, but I'd maybe check this out at the library someday.  Close call, as I almost bought it at Borders a few weeks ago!
3. The Tutor by Hope Tarr- another maybe.  I can't remember how this book ended up in my samples pile, and I honestly can't tell what it's about, although I liked what I've read so far, just not enough to buy it.
4. City of Dreams & Nightmare: City of a Hundred Rows, Book 1 Cby Ian Whates- I'm a bit lost so far, but it's entertaining.  More of a library pick up then a gotta-read-gotta-own for me though.
5.

Books To Skip:
1. Elixir by Hilary Duff and Kevin Twomey- Yes, I know it's in the maybe pile, but I really don't feel like my life will be less if I miss out altogether on this read.

Also here's my daily entry in to Dollar Bin Horror's Movie Challenge!

Day 15 - Your favorite horror film involving serial killers:

The Deliberate Stranger about serial killer Ted Bundy.  Mostly because the nightmare of Ted  Bundy is very, very real. I know it's a tv movie, but this is the movie that started me on my life long interest in serial killers.  I was still in grade school when this movie came out.  It might explain a lot of why I'm so twisted....  It also explains my unreasonable dislike of Mark Harmon (that and the fact that his character on Moonlighting tried to come between Cybil Shepard and Bruce Willis).
