[books 2011] more Charlaine Harris

I'm still doing nothing but working, coming home and reading trashy novels before going to sleep at 8. It's all rock and roll here.

5. Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Harris

The next Sookie Stackhouse novel. Entertaining enough, but although a lot happens, it felt a bit like the wheels are spinning but the overall series plot didn't advance very far in this volume. Or that might be me. I'm also getting the later books confused with the new series of True Blood, which by now has veered well away from the source material.

6. An Ice Cold Grave by Charlaine Harris

Yet another supernatural detective series - in this one, the protagonist was struck by lightning as a teen and as a result can sense dead bodies, and what they died of. I read one of the other books in this series last year (ish) and enjoyed it but said it was the least substantial thing I'd read in a long time.

That's pretty much true. It was OK, but talk about candy floss for the mind.

I have been working on a huge non-fiction book which I was hoping to be done today, but I'm not, so January's reading looks a bit thin:

Books read: 6
Non-fiction: 1
Library/borrowed: 2
Purchased:1

So I'm ahead of the game, but only if you don't count all those books I got as Christmas presents.
