Connection to what I am reading

As you all know, I am reading Monster High by Lisi Harrison. I believe that I told you that I chose this book because of some toys that I say at Target one day. Now, you all know that I'm a HUGE vampire fan and I'm really digging my book because it is really funny, very much set in the present and, well, as references to all my favorite silver screen monsters. I happened to be just surfing the web and came across this website:

www.monsterhigh.com

I don't know why, but I find this really funny and I wanted to share it with other readers because it is often cool to find websites and other miscellaneous connections to what we are reading. Especially if they include games!

New Book


I just started a new book this evening. It is called Monster High by Lisi Harrison (the same author of The Clique). Since I am only on page 3, the only things that I can say about the setting is that it appears to be in a labortory of some type. The reason why I say this is because the character - Frankie Stein - is listening to her parents talk about her being able to "wake up" and that her bolts are charged enough yet for her to do that. This, without a doubt, is a reference to Frankenstein by Mary Shelly.

I picked this book up mostly because when I was looking through the toy department with Adian, I came across some dolls that were great fun because they were the kids of famous horror movie icons. I totally wanted one almost immediately! I know that there are many more characters to come; Dracula's daughter, the Wolfman's daughter, obviously Frankie Stein (Dr. Frankenstein's daughter), the Creature from the Black Lagoon's daughter, the Mummy's daughter, and the son of someone else whom I can't remember at this time.
