I had a sick brat this weekend, so she and I ended up huddled in bed together for the entire weekend.  Not good on the move preparations, but worked quite well for my book reading time.  

I LOVED this series.  The author really found the perfect mix of snarky humor, ridiculous hijinks, and romance.  Then she topped it off with good writing and a satisfying ending.  And anyone who has read the Sookie Stackhouse series (which is a grossly inaccurate comparison to this series, not all vamp books are created equal people) knows how important a satisfying ending actually is.  

Anyway.  

As with any series, there are books that are better than the others.  I think with this one, the first one, Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs, is the weakest.  It just drug on way too much.  However, if you continue on with the series, the latter books most definitely made up for it.  After getting a firm footing into the world, everything seemed to flow and you kept reading just to see what other insane crap can happen to one person.  Jane is a trouble magnet and has managed to surround herself with a group of people almost as crazy as she is.  It makes for ridiculous, yet amusing read with all of the books.  And I can't reiterate enough how happy I was to actually have a series that ended well.  

Overall, this is just what I needed in a series this weekend.  It doesn't take itself too seriously and is incredibly enjoyable to read. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of this author's books.  

This one I am definitely going to attend.  My poor husband will just have to give my oldest kitty his thyroid pill while I am gone (catowners will understand how that's is a big deal).

See events for Lexington at Joseph Beth Bookseller's website.  

If you want and cannot attend, message me here on booklikes.  Unless more people ask than I can get signed, I'm happy to get books signed that you make shipping arrangements and purchase with bookseller or if not too many requests the bookstore might just do for you (just have them hold with "Debbie Rice's" books and tell them what you are doing) -- I do NOT want anyone's information other than the spelling of the name you want author to autograph to; any payment, credit card information, shipping address, etc. are just for the bookstore so please don't pm that to me or ship books to me.

I'm having a little trouble with the "Of the ten-thousand or so people who live in this town, I am on a first name basis with or related to half..."  even with the fact that she's a librarian.  On the otherhand, I grew up in a town with less than a thousand people, and while I live in a more populated area now I can't even tell you the names of all my neighbors.  So maybe being a rural basement troll skews my perception.

I am however LOVING the author's humor.
