This one I held off a bit (due to being busy Saturday) and I read on Sunday - from 5-10:30pm to be exact. Lots of suspense, still can't put these books down once i start them! I think I like the way this one ended and I'm looking forward to the next one (there was a sneak peak of chapter 1 at the end!).
Now i'm in a dilemma, I have books 5,6,7 in audiobook form to listen to but I think i like the paperback form so I may have to go buy them??? another friend owns 5 & 6 so I could borrow them from her but i'm not sure when I'd actually get them. So i may just get them at the bookstore...

Club Dead
by Charlaine Harris
Started Saturday at 12:00am, finished Saturday 5:00am. Yup still addicted! I couldn't help myself and as soon as I finished working friday I picked up the third book in the series!
The third brought in a lot of relationship turmoil and some new main characters to get to know. I'd have to say the second is still my favorite but I loved this one too!

Living Dead in Dallas
by Charlaine Harris
This is just sick - here it is only 14 hours after finishing the first book and I've already finished the second book - in the meantime I've also slept for 5 of those hours and worked a bit (estimating 4). These are impossible to put down. I really just wanted to read a chapter or two while my code was building and I couldn't put it down after that.
This one continues the Sookie Stackhouse mystery series with two adventures, one at home in Louisiana and one in Dallas. In order not to give much away I'll just say it was great!
Now i have a good 5 hours of work ahead of me before the weekend can officially start. I think I'll hold off on book three until saturday evening/night but I'm sure i'll be finishing that one this weekend as well. It's probably better to just finish all 4 before monday :)

Dead until Dark
by Charlaine Harris
These books should come with a warning! OMG!
So a very close friend loaned me the first 4 in the Sookie Stackhouse series, I read a few pages that first night and it was a winner but I was able to put it down and go to sleep. Then last night at 11, I had just finished working and decided I would read a bit to distract myself before bed (so i don't dream about work all night)... BIG MISTAKE. I couldn't put this book down, AT ALL! I hardly wanted to tear myself to pour some water at 2AM!!!! when my throat was parched.
Finally I finished the book at 4am! And then I could hardly sleep because I wanted to start the second... very very bad.
These books are ADDICTING. I can not say that enough, they are great, the characters are so much fun. It's fantasy but people are still people and are realistic so it's easy to relate to. It's got vampires and the main character is telepathic. I won't give away more than that but what a GREAT book.
So now i'm seeing how long i can put off starting number 2... I may have to just read a chapter or 2 really quick :)

JD Robb In Death progress
Hmmm.. well i have continued listening to the JD Robb series.
I finished Imitation in Death which I really enjoyed.
I believe after that was Divided in Death - some more interesting character development in that one.
Now I'm on Visions in Death which includes lots of references to crafts! It's great!
These go so quickly during the car rides but make the car ride so much more enjoyable at the same time!

The Island
by Victoria Hislop
Another great read! This book is about Spinalonga, an island off of Crete where lepers were forced to live during the early 1900's (through 1950's).
It was filled with historical information about Crete, through WWII and also filled with very deep relationships. I really loved the main characters throughout and this book went quite fast.
I love learning and I learned a lot with this book (about Crete, leprosy, and other things). It was extremely touching and well done. I would happily recommend this book to anyone!

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
by Lisa See.
This was an excellent book. It really captured my attention and made me feel like I knew the characters. It was rich in characters for that matter, as well as chinese history. I love books that have some history in them with good characters and this was truly one of those books.
I've already loaned this out with high recommendations I loved it so much :)
I also found the friendship trials and tribulations very easy to relate to. As a young girl I had a very best friend, we did everything together. As we went away to college, we stayed close - sometimes not as close but close none-the-less. Then as we continued to grow and mature and our lives changed, we grew a little more distant. We stay in touch but it's usually for bigger events (new love/love lost etc).
I do see in the future after life has settled and slowed down that we'll become close again. This is very similar to the friendship of a lao-tong as described in this book. It was very easy to relate to and all the more enjoyable because of it.
