Book 46 of 52

Another book down. And still a book a head of the game. Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris, book 9 of the Sookie Stackhouse series. I loved it. Still LOVE Eric, not so fond of Bill. Cannot wait to see what happens next

Book 45 of 52

Another Sookie Stackhouse novel down and two more to go (until the 11th one comes out). I am already half way into the 9th book but still didn't get to blog about From Dead to Worse. I find it very hard to constantly review books in a series because to me they all add up to one story and most of what I say for the first couple of books, holds true through out the series. Unless the writing style changes drastically or the author decides to collaborate with another author on one of the books. In this case Charlaine Harris has stayed very true to her writing style and has kept the books just as entertaining as when she started to write the series. I enjoy these books very much and read each one in only a couple of days (if I had time I would be reading a book a day).

Book 44 of 52 and reflections on the year

 I cannot believe this year is almost over. So much has happened, a lot has changed and so many great things have been brought into my life. I am now married to the love of my life, I have a new niece and nephew, I am getting closer to finishing school and because of that I had the opportunity to work at an amazing place, I am finally getting some of my health issues taken care of (even though the side effects have sucked). I managed to keep up with my reading and I believe I am still on track with the 52 books in 52 weeks, and somehow managed to begin learning about 5 new craft mediums.
Among all the great things that have happened there have also been some losses. I've had to say goodbye to an amazing woman who I never really got to know as well as I would have liked, I lost a cat I have known most of my life and a dog who I loved dearly. I also lost the first kitten I have fostered in a long time. I've taken a few risks and played it safe on many occasions. My knowledge, book collection and neurosis have all grown.. the good and bad in those are debatable. It has been one hell of a year and its not quite over yet.

I just finished reading All Together Dead, the 7th book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I am still really enjoying the series but I felt like a lot of this book was all filler material. There were a lot of major events that took place but the rest probably wouldn't have been missed if it had been left out.
