snugglekittyBook twenty was Dhampir by Barb and JC Hendee. It's rare that I find a vampire fantasy-type book that I like, but this one was really good. The characters were very believable, the plot wasn't too predictable, and some of the language was awesome. Best of all, it's the beginning of a series. Four stars.
Book twenty-one was Tiny, Tiny Houses by Lester Walker. I read about this book in A Place of My Own and was intrigued. This has pictures and floor plans of tiny houses (most 30 square feet or less, and that's not a typo) and includes descriptions of what they were used for and how to make them. Wow!! I loved it. It was really fun to look at the pictures. I'd love to inhabit a tiny house someday.
This book also reminded me of how much I enjoyed the book The Hand-Sculpted House. I may re-read that. My sister is determined to someday build her own cob house, and if that works out for her, I may build one of my own. :) I've similarly been meaning to read The Not-so-big House, so now that I'm done with TTH I will request that one from the library.

*huge grin*
