I do enjoy these books. Difficult to believe since I am reading them so slowly. I am now pretty much caught up with the tv show, but tv is about to zoom past me. But there is so much more in the books than is in the tv series. Exciting stuff, family stuff, terrifying stuff, and gentle caring stuff. Books are better, as always.
I have now begun and finished a book in a new mystery series (new to me) and I seem to have started with the second book in the series. I'll catch the first one eventually. Though it has a lot of 20 something sexual angst, which these days I find kind of boring, I thought the mystery was pretty good. Set in a New England seaside village known for a history of pirate activity, it is possible I loved it in part because I am familiar with the area.
I have now just barely started Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. It looks to be a whole new Vampire 'verse and a whole new series (to me.) We shall see how I did with this.
