Journal Entry 1 by Firegirl from Annandale, Virginia USA on Monday, July 02, 2007

From inside jacket: Being dead sucks. Make that being undead sucks. Literally. Just ask Thomas C. Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody -- the woman of his dreams -- is a vampire. And surprise! Now he's one too.

For some couples the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy and Jody are in love, and they vow to work through their issues. Like how much Jody should teach Tommy about his new superpowers (and how much he needs to lean on his own). Plus there's Tommy's cute new minion, sixteen-year-old goth girl Abby Normal. (Well, someone has to run errands during daylight hours!)

Making the relationship work, however, is the least of Jody and Tommy's problems. Word has it that the vampire who nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting any new members into the club. Even worse, Tommy's erstwhile turkey-bowling pals are out to get him at the urging of a blue-dyed Las Vegas call girl named (duh) Blue.

And that really sucks.

Journal Entry 4 by dnsvm from Longmont, Colorado USA on Saturday, September 15, 2007

I just finished this book today and really enjoyed it! It was the perfect amount of satire of the goth/vampire culture and the wit that Christopher Moore is famous for. I forgot that this was a sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends until I started reading and went "Wait! These characters are familiar!"

I will mail this off this week! 

Journal Entry 5 by MoonBeam056 from Pawleys Island, South Carolina USA on Saturday, October 06, 2007

Arrived safely for a brief stay at the beach. I'll read this and get it back on its way soon. Thanks for sharing! 

Journal Entry 6 by MoonBeam056 from Pawleys Island, South Carolina USA on Monday, October 22, 2007

This one didn't quite live up to my expectations, but maybe I should have read Bloodsucking Fiends first. Or, maybe my expectations were just set too high. I tend to do that a lot. Overall though, I enjoyed the humor in this book. Thanks for sharing. As soon as I get an address from the next participant, I'll get this one back on its way. 

Journal Entry 7 by ivylibra224 from Kimberling City, Missouri USA on Friday, November 16, 2007

Just received today. This one is 4th in line. Not too bad considering I usually read 2 at once. 

Journal Entry 8 by ivylibra224 from Kimberling City, Missouri USA on Friday, December 14, 2007

LOVED IT!! This is a laugh-out-loud story! I will definitely be reading more of this author's works! Thanks for sharing!

mailed out to tenneh today. 

Journal Entry 11 by tenneh from Verdon, Nebraska USA on Monday, January 14, 2008

Received today - will get to it asap!

I enjoyed this book but I think Blooksucking Fiends was much better. I thought the ending was a bit lame. But many thanks for letting me read it. 

Journal Entry 12 by ariesgirl29 from Cordova, Tennessee USA on Tuesday, January 29, 2008

Yay! This looks good! I'm reading a book right now and I'll get to this one next. Thanks for including me! 

Journal Entry 13 by ariesgirl29 from Cordova, Tennessee USA on Tuesday, February 05, 2008

LOVED it! I am going to have to get more by him as they are hilarious! I wish I had known about the first book before reading this one but I had read A Dirty Job and there was a tie in with that one. I have the next person's addy and will get this out in the next day or two.

Thanks for letting me join!

02.16.08 - Just got this out yesterday, I had to buy some packing tape for the package as I was out. I did DC but will post if it look lost :) Enjoy! 

Journal Entry 14 by blackadder75 from Lebanon, Pennsylvania USA on Tuesday, February 19, 2008

I can't wait to start reading this book. I loved Practical Demonkeeping and Fluke. I hope to enjoy this one too. 

Journal Entry 15 by blackadder75 from Lebanon, Pennsylvania USA on Friday, February 22, 2008

I love Christopher Moore's books! They're always funny and witty and slightly off-beat. I'm not a huge vampire book fan, but this book was easy to read and very enjoyable. I will contact the next in line.

Journal Entry 17 by pzarks from Portland, Oregon USA on Monday, March 10, 2008

The book arrived safely today. I plan on starting it tomorrow and sending it on its way next week. Thanks! 

Journal Entry 18 by pzarks from Portland, Oregon USA on Friday, March 14, 2008

What a great book! I read Bloodsucking Fiends (the book that started the whole story) a couple of weeks ago, so I was able to get right into this one. Although I wish there had been more scenes with the Emperor and his "men", I laughed a lot at Abby's narratives.
I have PMed the next in line for this ring and I will be sending this book on its way ASAP!
Thanks again for sharing!

Mailed to SilverFlame with an extra surprise included 

Journal Entry 20 by SilverFlame from Salt Lake City, Utah USA on Tuesday, March 25, 2008

Yay! I got this book in the mail yesterday, and along with it came Bloodsucking Fiends, which I am so excited about! I like to read series books in order and didn't know this was book 2 until I read all the participants in this bookring's comments... Now I get to read them both! :)

Amy has included instructions for me to do whatever I like with BF, and I do believe I'll pass it along in the ring with the second book. If anyone comes after me in the ring who has also not read the first book, I think they'll enjoy the surprise as much as I did. At the end of the line, I think Carlissa will get the honors of figuring out what to do with it.

Thanks a bunch, pzarks! :)

Journal Entry 23 by chambejd from Worcester, Massachusetts USA on Thursday, July 17, 2008

I've had this book a couple of weeks now and I'm sorry I haven't journaled it earlier. My boyfriend snagged it immediately and he just finished it a couple of nights ago. Now it's my turn to read it. I'll get it on its way soon! Thanks for sharing it with me! 

Journal Entry 24 by chambejd from Worcester, Massachusetts USA on Saturday, August 02, 2008

I really, really enjoyed this book. My favorite part was Abby Normal. She really made the book great for me. I also love how the story entertwines with A Dirty Job.

This will be going in the mail to nightraine56 on Monday, Aug. 4 along with Bloodsucking Fiends. 

Journal Entry 25 by nightraine56 from St. Louis, Missouri USA on Monday, August 11, 2008

I got this along with Bloodsucking Fiends. I will read Fiends first and then You Suck. I hope you will be patient with me. I am a slow reader, but I will try to get them read as soon as possible. They both look like a fun read. Thanks for letting me read them! 

Journal Entry 26 by nightraine56 from St. Louis, Missouri USA on Monday, September 08, 2008

Very good and funny book. I liked this one better than the first, which is Blood Sucking Fiends. I am waiting for carlissa to send me her addy so that I can return it to her. 

Journal Entry 27 by nightraine56 from St. Louis, Missouri USA on Monday, September 08, 2008

I liked all the characters in this book. They all had their own unique personality. It's on it's way back to carlissa. Thanks for sharing. 

Journal Entry 28 by carlissa from Miami, Florida USA on Wednesday, September 17, 2008

came back in the mail today!

Reserved for Azuki from lovemylife. 

Journal Entry 29 by azuki from Miami, Florida USA on Thursday, September 25, 2008

Received this from Carlissa, as a book from Lovemylife for the Chapter 12 Book Exchange on BookObsessed.com. Thanks Carlissa, thanks Lovemylife.
Carlissa also passed along Bloodsucking Fiends, which I understand is supposed to be read first.
Incidentally, before meeting Carlissa and without a clue I will be getting this book, I have taken A Dirty Job from the audio bookbox I was to bring to Carlissa. So, all of a sudden, I am attacked by vampires everywhere! 

Journal Entry 30 by azuki at Miami, Florida USA on Sunday, July 18, 2010

A very funny read with some laugh aloud moments. It's also a delight to bump into some characters from A Dirty Job. Looking forward to the third in the series, Bite Me.

I had originally reserved this for Macaufan, to whom I gave Bloodsucking Fiends. But unfortunately he damaged that book. As I don't know when he'd get another copy I will send this to my BookObsessed birthday partner instead, as this is on her wishlist.  

Journal Entry 31 by teachie at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire United Kingdom on Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Thank you so much for this wishlist book. I look forward to enjoying this as much as his others .
