Dead and Gone, the 9th SS, is coming out in May sometime...I'm really looking forward to reading it.

Connie, I see that you have recently read the Sookie Stackhouse books. Are you exited for the next one?

ConnieK, I know what you mean about wanting to read everything from an author, as you can tell. Now that I read all the Dresden Files books that are out, I'm sort of at a loss...oh well, I'll find something new tomorrow. The Dresden Files is a highly entertaining and interesting series that is the first person perspective of a male wizard. Because it was told by a man it was very different for me to read. If you like urban fantasy and mysteries, I'm sure you will enjoy this series.

Ok, so while February and March were a little thin on the reading front, April has made up for it... thanks to Jim Butcher.

So far I have to say its been a slow reading year. I'm getting stuck on certain authors and am not able to dredge up much enthusiasm for many other authors. This reading funk wasn't there in January, plenty of books coming out by old favorites...though the enthusiasm over the Carrie Vaughn and Casey Daniels books are fairly recent.

This list is complete (or will be complete) though I didn't include anthologies in this list because I didn't read all the stories in them, just those by the authors I have previously read.

I also don't plan on including those books that I've reread...there will be a few of those.
