Started two new mystery series

Finished some more since the last update.  A few of these were of the can’t-put-it-down variety (not because I just had to know what comes next, but because reading about ghosts at 4am means I’m not going to be falling asleep anyway), and so were finished in just a couple of sessions.

4. The Miracle Strip –  Nancy Bartholomew
5. Grave Sight – Charlaine Harris
6. Grave Surprise – Charlaine Harris
7. Snapped – Pamela Klaffke

#4 is about Sierra Lavotini, crime solving stripper.  Yes.  Today I picked up the rest of the series.

#5-6 are the first two Harper Connelly mysteries by the author of the Southern Vampires/Sookie Stackhouse/Trueblood books.  I read those last year.  Turns out I’m far dorkier than I thought because in both books, I predicted the killer and most of the motive fairly early on.

#7 is about a style guru who meets her midlife crisis.  A bit more  vulgar than I expected, but fascinating and terrifying like a trainwreck.  It also caused quite a bit of anger/depression in me this afternoon.  Quite odd.

Next on the list will be the next three Sierra Lavotini books, then the next two Harper Connelly.  After that I hope to finish a few things that I started sometime in 2009 and just left hanging.  Semester starts tomorrow (technically today, but day classes were canceled due to power outages – finally, a bright side to the week of rain), so the next update probably won’t be for a week or more.

In other news, I got my younger brother playing Diablo I.  I played it again myself, too.  I’d forgotten how it ended, so afterwards I felt like such a chump.
