Billy Burgess Sunday Post ,

The Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Kimberly hosts a weekly meme called "The Sunday Post"!

Weekly Tidbits

I'm not sure whether other book lovers experience this, but I become quite frustrated when I can't locate a single book in a series. I dug through bookcases and closets for my Annie Rice novels after viewing the first part of the second episode of AMC's Interview with the Vampire, and for some strange reason, I don't own the tenth book, Blood Canticle. I thought I had a copy, but evidently not since I checked through my books twice and couldn't find it.

Knowing How to Treat Yourself

Billy Burgess

Different people take different attitudes toward the prospect of treating themselves. While some may do this on a regular basis, others might be less willing to, and the act of pulling away from that habit can be difficult. The end result, if you’re in the latter camp, is that treating yourself might start to feel like a negative – as if you’re spending on something unnecessary or it’s something you shouldn’t be doing.

[Review]—The Cursed Vampire Falls in Love Again in "Barnabas Collins and the Gypsy Witch"

Billy Burgess books ,

After a little break from the world of Dark Shadows, I'm back with my review of Barnabas Collins and the Gypsy Witch, the fifteenth book in the series, first published in March 1970 and written by the late great Daniel Ross, under the pen name Marilyn Ross. Like the other books in Ross's series, the story takes place in a parallel universe to the soap opera series.

[Review]—Melissa Koslin's "Dangerous Beauty" is a Riveting and Enthralling Story

Billy Burgess books ,

The cover for Melissa Koslin's Dangerous Beauty is exquisite and incredibly melancholy—that alone lured me to it—and I purposefully skipped reading the blurb because I wanted to be completely surprised by the story and characters. I went into the book utterly naive with hopeful expectations and came out enthralled, astonished, and profoundly impressed.

Billy Burgess books ,
