2017 Reading Challenge: a book with a title that's the character's name

The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Poor Fred was your stereotypical nerd - a bit on the cowardly side, no real social skills, liked to be left alone and play with numbers. But then he became a vampire, which really didn't change much for him. He was still nerdy, cowardly (to the point where he used blood bank blood so he wouldn't have to fight or attack anyone), socially awkward and liked his job as an accountant.

But when he decided to be brave and go to his high school reunion, despite his condition, life got interesting. Regardless of what he wanted, he found himself having to be the vampire. And in the end he got a girl, an assistant and a group of friends.

I enjoyed this book and found myself both laughing at/with as well as sympathizing with poor Fred. I do believe I will be looking to continue with this series.

Questions 9 and 10 of 365

Question 9: Was today typical? Why or Why Not?

Today was a typical Monday. Into work by 6:30 (though would have liked to have gotten in earlier), time sheets, time sheets, time sheets. The only non-typical thing was that I actually made a homemade dinner. I had chili. Been craving it for a couple days and it's been cold out so I gave in to the craving and made some.

Question 10: Write down something that inspired you today

Many of my friends have been dealing with financial or medical stuff lately. But they inspire me because they are not letting it beat them.
