When lightning strikes

I admit that my seemingly speed-reading (I'm actually a VERY slow reader) reveals my lack of an exciting life, but oh well. Since my last post I've finished reading both Grave Surprise and An Ice Cold Grave. Both books - like the first - were read in one sitting and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who decides to read the Harper Connelly books, but I will say that many of my suspicions related in my post regarding Grave Sight were valid, and I'm looking forward to book four due in October of this year.

I should take back the PG rating I relayed earlier, although the books don't really become R-rated until the second half of book three (An Ice Cold Grave). Again, to avoid spoilers I won't expand here.

I've already picked up the first book of another of Charlaine Harris' series, Shakespeare's Landlord. The second book in that series is in my library queue but I don't know if I'll have access to it before the beach. I'll hold off beginning the first just in case as I'd rather read successive books back to back.

My recent reading frenzy led me to put several other books in my queue at the library. I'll be picking up Dry by Augusten Burroughs ("Running With Scissors" is one of my all-time favorite books) and Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt sometime in the next couple of days. I'm trying to collect as many desirable books as I can before I leave for vacation.

Any suggestions? Please send them along via comment. Happy reading!
