I'm the Vampire, That's Why by Michele Bardsley

I don't typically read two vampire romantic comedies back to back, but this had been on the pile for a few weeks so I gave it a shot. Single mom Katie takes out the trash one night, gets attacked, and wakes up a vampire. A paranormal group called The Consortium turned Katie, and ten other single parents in her small town, after they had been attacked by a vampire with some sort of supernatural plague. The Consortium is working on a cure for the plague and buying up Katie's town in order to set up a community where creatures of the night can safely reside. Aside from dealing with her new lifestyle, Katie is also dealing with a hot vampire named Patrick who claims they are soulmates.
This story was cute. This doesn't seem like a series that will get boring because each volume focuses on a different recently turned vamp. I am looking forward to reading book two.

I finished my first challenge book. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
Meg Cabot's heroines are nutty in a good way. Lizzie is a well meaning chatterbox who can be a tad bit naieve. After graduating from college (-ish) she goes to England to spend time with her boyfriend. But she doesn't know him as well as she thought and ends up going to stay with a friend in France. The vineyard they stay at is a great backdrop for this romantic comedy. Can't wait to read the sequel, Queen of Babble in the Big City.
