2. Flesh House - Stuart MacBride

The fourth in the series and it just gets better! The crime scenes are incredibly vivid, better than CSI could ever do. The mystery comes together at the end, the 'Flesher' is identified, but a few loose ends are left, leaving more than enough room for several more books to clean everything up.

1. Bloodshot - Stuart MacBride

This was number three in Stuart MacBride's Logan McRae series. I finished it on 11 January and am just now getting things posted. I am so horrible about that! Guess I'd rather be reading than writing about reading...Anyway, this installment was even better than the last. MacBride is getting more and more bold in his character development, and his descriptions of the crimes are more and more vivid. I love it and hope he keeps writing. Very similar to Mark Billingham's DI Thorne series, which is one of my favorites.

Happy New Year!

Ahhhh, a new year is upon us once again. Where did 2009 go? I signed up for all of these really great challenges and hardly finished any of them! I did manage to read 41 books though, so that is about 40 more than the average American reads. Guess that isn't too bad then. I have signed up for a ton more for 2010 and am really, really going to try to do better this year. I also finally joined the bandwagon and signed up on Facebook! My roommates are on it all of the time, and they love it, so I figured why not? Still trying to get all of the challenges that I've signed up for posted on the blog, so keep checking back to see what I've been reading and my (hopefully) stellar progress in the challenges.

Have a wonderful New Year!
