#re3 - Glass Houses

Another day, another #re3. And today, I am starting my first book in my Morganville Challenge, Glass Houses. I first read this last year (review's here if you wanna read it) but here is my reread of it, so... here we go!

WHY DID YOU REREAD GLASS HOUSES?
I reread Glass Houses as I won the near-complete Morganville Vampires series and I decided it would be fun to try and read the series. But this would mean rereading Glass Houses. I was planning to read it at the end, but decided to read it first.

WHAT WAS YOUR HONEST OPINION WHEN YOU FIRST READ THIS BOOK?
I liked it, but I didn't love it. I didn't like how the issue of bullying was tackled and, I think at the time, I had my fill of vampires so I liked it less than I think I would have been.

WHAT IS YOUR HONEST OPINION NOW THAT YOU HAVE REREAD THIS BOOK?
I much prefer reading Glass Houses this time round than when I read it last year. I'm not sure why, but I think I'm ready to read vampires again so reading Glass Houses is a nice step back into the fanged world. It felt more gripping to read it this time round.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY?
The last 50 or so pages were fast-paced. I lost sleep reading those pages. And the last chapter! That last chapter!

I still get Shane and Michael mixed up. Hopefully, reading The Dead Girls' Dance will help me get them straight in my head.

BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK, WILL YOU READ ANY OTHER BOOK WITHIN THE SERIES?
Yes, I will. After reading that last chapter (that last page! I remembered this ending halfway through this book, but I forgot how tense it was when I reread it!), I'm pretty certain I will be reading Dead Girls' Dance sooner than I thought.

Morganville Challenge

So, if you visit the blog every so often, you may have noticed that there's a new tab on the top of the blog that, for the past month, has just been ???. I should have just said it when I decided this, but I was a little unsure on if I could do this challenge. But am going to try!

Due to me winning a competition to win the near-complete series, I am going to try and read the whole Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine! And for those wonder why I'm a little unsure of myself, here is why:

Fifteen books! FIFTEEN! I know some of you guys who have been with the series since the beginning or halfway through so you're probably going "That's not a big deal". But I have never read a series this long before. And some of these books are THICK! 

But then I won a competition (thanks Devil's Library!) of books 1-14 (with Fall of Night being signed by the author! And a signed copy of Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan) and I thought "I think I wanna try and read these. Even if I get half way through and stop, let's see what Morganville is about!"

So, from September 2013 to the end of 2015 (so am giving myself over 2 years!), am going to try and read all 15 books. By the time you're all reading this, I should be reading/have just finished rereading the first book in the series, Glass Houses (which is technically a reread [#re3] as I read Glass Houses back in June 2012). 

And I haven't got the whole series (books 5 & 6 [Lord of Misrule & Carpe Corpus] are on their way to me and book 15 [Daylighters] isn't out yet so it won't always be one-after-another but I should read them if/when the mood takes me. 

So if you wanna join me on this mad quest, COME! Though no spoilers! But come, it'll be fun (hopefully!). But 15 books in 2 years... WISH ME LUCK!!!
