While sorting for our upcoming book sale...

...I found these two gems.

This one, which looks like it should actually be titled VAMPIRES ON ICE #3: HI-CUT OR GO HOME:

And this one, which made me laugh so hard that I cried. (Literally. I couldn't even talk, I was laughing so hard. Rather than try to explain myself, I just threw it across the room to the woman who was sorting books with me. Happily, she's already WELL AWARE of my crazy, so it didn't even faze her.)

I don't even know why I find it so hilarious. I think it's the look on his face:

So that's what's going on here today.

OMG I am dying!

Ice Princess. I ADORED this book when I was a kid. I not only owned it (and the prequel - that's right, this is the sequel), but I KEPT THEM when I weeded and boxed my childhood books, because I had loved it so much.

I read it so many times that I can tell you, he's dressed like a vampire because their ice dancing routine was to the theme of a blockbuster movie.

When the Disney movie Ice Princess came out, I was devastated that it wasn't an adaptation of this.

@Claire: You are NOT ALONE in loving this book! I've heard from people on Twitter and Facebook who ALSO loved it growing up! And so now, OF COURSE I have to track down a copy of the first one! :)

I don't think the library lady needed to know about your crazy to laugh heartily and until breathless at that last cover. Charlie's big secret is not constipation??? Really???

Annnnd now that you've said it, I can not unsee Constipation Face. *snerk*

Haha! Those are fabulous. I remember reading a lot of books with similar looking covers when I was a kid, though none that I can remember had an ice-skating vampire on the cover... Clearly I missed out big time.
