Started to work my way through Karin Slaughter's books. So far so good, although I somewhat wish my imagination was not this good.

...if he finishes it in time!
5 years between A Storm of Swords (2000) and A Feast for Crows (2005)...then 6 years until A Dance with Dragons (2011)...

The books I reserved at the library are still 'on their way' (have been for what seems like eternity) so with the movie out decided to give How I Live Now a go. We'll see, we'll see.

I've just reviewed 'Remains of the Dead' by Iain McKinnon. This is his 2011 follow up to 'Domain of the Dead' and is more or less a straight-up action horror tale.

As it sometimes takes a long time to get reserved books from my library, I'm working my way through several different series. Done with book one of Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli & Isles (so different than the show! but I like it) and now reading first Jack Reacher by Lee Child. So far so good, more reservations made :)
