Talk to me!

puddingcatTalk to me, please! I'm going mad with boredom here - I can only do so much "researching potential targets" before I get distracted and end up looking at second-hand cars instead of Toyota's corporate website.
Amazon has decided (on the basis of buying WK) that I have appallingly bad taste. The synopsis of its top recommendation reads as follows:
Until the Full Moon
Vol 1
Marlo has a problem. On the night of the full moon, this half-werewolf, half-vampire undergoes a mysterious and terrifying transformation: He turns into a girl. Desperate for a cure, his parents call on Doctor Vincent, a long time family friend. But Marlo wants to keep his condition secret from Vincent's son, the vampire playboy David. Unfortunately, the secret gets out, and a new problem surfaces: David is interested in Marlo's female form! If a remedy can't be found, their parents believe the next best solution is marriage - a marriage between Marlo and David!
Vol 2
Who would have thought that there was anything worse than changing into a woman on nights of the full moon? Marlo certainly didn't. But now his engagement to David Vincent, the handsome skirt-chasing vampire, has been jeopardized by threats from the past. When one of David's former flames sends for him, begging for help, she neglects to include all the details. then a glass of "special" wine causes some childish complications. And to make matters worse, it seems that David's father has a few secrets of his own that may very well tear David and Marlo apart. Can Marlo and David overcome these pitfalls, or is their love doomed to fail?
Gosh.

Umm, don't hate me but I'm getting a shitload of Richard Armitage DVDs, a 12" Cyberman, lots and lots of scary maths books and a few books on Frank Whittle & Jet Engines back in my results. O.o Though, weirdly, they only ever send me 'you might like' e-mails for stuff I've already bought from them. *scratches head*
