A new “novel” endeavor

So I finished the Twilight series – all four books in less than three weeks – despite the fact that the saga in total spans almost 2500 pages. Gah! I don’t know how I sped through so efficiently as I am a slow reader.

I managed to read Columbine by David Cullen immediately after finishing Breaking Dawn. While significantly shorter than my recent accomplishments, Columbine had me seriously enrapt. I had to concentrate to absorb all of the information. I both loved and hated the book. Actually, I didn’t really hate it at all, I just hated that April 20, 1999 destroyed the lives of so many people.

Moving on – I already wrote a brief review of Columbine so I won’t dwell here. Instead, I focused my sights on the books that inspired one of my favorite television shows: Bones, which stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel.

I found via Bones credits that the show is based on the novels written by Kathy Reichs, a forensic anthropologist from North Carolina. I fell in love with the show within the last year, so I was anxious to delve into the novels.

I picked up Reichs' first novel, Déjà Dead, last night at the local library and I look forward to getting into it. There are eleven novels following Dr. Brennan that I know of, and I hope to read all of them in the near future!
