I LOVE this book!!!!

Yes, I stayed up until 4:00 am to finish MY LADY JANE by the Lady Janies. And it was so very worth it!!! This is my new favorite book! The Lady Janies have taken the tragic, horrific story of Lady Jane Grey and made it something hysterical to read. It is very clear that this a work of historical FICTION. There are details that are true to history, too, which makes a book like this that much more fantastic. I LOVE historical fiction and since I have always been uber fascinated with Lady Jane Grey, this book fed my love of reading like nothing else has! This book is simply delightful!

What makes this book even more super-fantastic are the wonderful

references to modern-day movies/stories!!

It is a clear tribute to one of my all-time favorite movies, LADYHAWKE--"always together, eternally apart." I hope this book sends millions of people running to watch this movie because it's fantastic!!!

There is a reference to The Red Wedding in GAME OF THRONES!!!

To my great delight, it is also a wonderful tribute to the amazing and super-fantastic THE PRINCESS BRIDE!!!! 

Lady Jane is described as a Hermoine-type character with a love of reading, loving libraries, and wild [red] hair!!!

Elizabeth (yes, THE Queen Elizabeth) is a Professor McGonagall-type character!!!

Lady Jane uses a frying pan to beat up soldiers, just like Rapunzel in TANGLED!!!! That's quite possibly my favorite part!!! "Frying pans! Who knew?!"

G reminds me so much of R in WARM BODIES! He's also portrayed as a would-be, possibly-could-have-been William Shakespeare! And his constant, "Oh, that's good. I need to write that down," is wonderfully reminiscent of the fantastic DRAGONHEART!!!

There is even a reference to JAWS!!! "We're going to need a bigger sword!"

I know I haven't even come close to mentioning all the wonderful stories the Lady Janes have referenced in the wonderful MY LADY JANE, so if you see others, I'd LOVE to compare notes. This book was worth the impulse buy, reading it all in one day, and staying up until 4:00 am!!!

Is your Body Warm?

I had no earthly idea that WARM BODIES was a book before it was a movie.  Because I love watching the extras on a DVD, I quickly learned the truth.  It did not take me long at all to purchase a copy of the book by Isaac Marion--or to finish reading it!

Just like the movie, the book is fun, quirky, weird, and everything else in between.  It has romance for the romantic soul.  It has blood and gore for the horror fan.  It has a father/daughter relationship for those who like family-oriented stories.  There are simple friendships as well as complicated friendships and even the oddest friendships ever written about.

My favorite part of the book has to be the oxymorons throughout.  They're in the movie, but I found them funnier in the book.  Of course, a couple of the ones in the movie had me laughing so hysterically that I realized quickly that if I had seen the movie in the theater as I'd originally planned (I just never made it), I would have been thrown out!

It was the same way reading the book.  I laughed out loud.  I cried out in disgust.  I spoke to no one listening because no one was in the room with me.

I loved every word and every minute of reading it!  What was most surprising about the reading, I have to say before bringing this to a close, were the difficult/challenging words throughout!  Thankfully I read it on my Nook, so all I had to do was click on the word to look it up, but that was completely unexpected!

If you like zombie stories, you'll love WARM BODIES (book or movie).  If you like love stories, you'll love WARM BODIES.  If you like horror flicks/stories, you'll like WARM BODIES.  If you like to laugh, you'll like WARM BODIES.

BTW:  there is already a Prequel:  THE NEW HUNGER (you can only get it online (an ebook)--let me know and I'll send you a link) and Isaac Marion is currently working on a sequel.  I can hardly wait!

If you don't like WARM BODIES, then your body obviously isn't warm!!!!!!  :)
