Yeah!

A long holiday weekend is upon us and I am all set to enjoy it! In between festivities I have about thirteen books to read. While I am known for my passion of reading in my family and have finished books in one sitting, even I am not that good with only three days.

I am planning on reading Charlaine Harris' newest Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampires series installment Dead In The Family. I have two other series books to read as well Spirit Bound from Richelle Mead's Vamp Academy series and Burned from P.C. and Kristen Cast's House of Night series. Will I get to all of them? A big NO will go here.

There is one reason for that fact. For some reason I have to go back and re-read all of the books in the series before reading the new one. Why? I think the biggest reason is the fact that I don't want to miss any little nuance. Since I am a fan of series books I tend to read a lot of them and being that I am so busy at times, I do forget certain items. It irritates me when I read the newest book and have forgotten something and I get lost in the story for a bit.

Now most author's will make an effort to remind their readers of the bigger plot lines, but they can't remind you of everything, otherwise it'd be the same book again :) So instead I re-read the series and refresh my memory of all those small things-hey now that reminds me of how much I adore Blink-182. See how easily I can be side-tracked?

So this weekend will be devoted Sookie, Jason, Vampire Bill, Eric, the twin Fairies and all of the other special characters that Ms. Charlaine Harris has brought to life in her Sookie series. I know I will be enjoying my weekend, and I hope you all enjoy yours!
