Another day on the boyfriends laptop...

Well, here I am, another day computerless. Some of you may be thinking "Uh.. you're clearly not computerless if you're using your boyfriends laptop" and while that's obviously true, I feel really weird about using it.. lol. So I only get on quick to check emails or facebook or yknow... whatever needs checking.





I've been reading a book called "Dawn of the Dreadfuls" by Steve Hockensmith. It's the prequal to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I'm about halfway through it and finding it difficult to put down -- so difficult in fact, that my back and neck hurt from sitting and reading all day. I don't easily get sucked into books, but I'm really enjoying this one.

The back reads;
 'Readers will witness the birth of a heroine in Dawn of the Dreafuls - a thrilling prequal set 4 years before the horrific events of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. As our story opens, the Bennet sisters are enjoying a peaceful life in the English countryside. They idle away the days reading, gardening, and day dreaming about future husbands - until a funeral at the local parish goes strangely and horribly awry.
 Suddenly corpses are springing from the soft earth - and only one family can stop them. As the bodies pile up, we watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. Along the way, two men vie for her affections. Master Hawksworth is the powerful warrior who trains her to kill, while thoughtful Dr. Keckilpenny seeks to conquer the walking dead using science instead of strength. Will either man win the prize of Elizabeth's heart? Or will their hearts, be feasted upon by hordes of marauding zombies? Complete with romance, action, comedy, and an army of shambling corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; Dawn of the Dreadfuls will have Jane Austen rolling in her grave - and just might inspire her to crawl out of it!
If you're a zombie fan, I'd check it out!
