I'm one tired chick, but it's my own fault. I've been staying up way too late reading. In preparation for the new season of True Blood, I decided to start the series by Charlaine Harris that the TV show is based on.
In the past two weeks I've read through the first three books (Dead Until Dark
, Living Dead in Dallas
and Club Dead
). I checked out the fourth, Dead to the World, yesterday and I think I'll be finished with it tonight. The fifth, Dead as a Doornail
, is reserved at the library and I should have it in a few days. I've heard the books and the series referred to as Twilight for grown ups. Since I didn't read the Twilight series, I can't confirm, but based on what Twilight haters have said, the comparison makes me laugh.

While I was waiting for book four, I read the new one from Carl Hiaasen, Star Island
. A former co-worker turned me on to his books and I've really enjoyed going through his body of work. If you saw the Demi Moore move Strip Tease, it's based off his book (which I have a feeling is way better than the movie). I like that he has the same character pop up in different books. Hiassen also writes young adult books. I've read both Hoot (which was a movie, too) and Flush
. They're cute. Tyler didn't get through Hoot
, but I think if he tried again and saw the movie he'd like it.

, loved it) and I have Breathing Lessons
in my library queue (Anne Tyler, I really enjoy her work).
