Friday night Lexie and I made a stop at Barnes and Noble. Browsing the science fiction stacks I found a book that sounded like something she might enjoy. Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. Small town girl meets vampire. Nothing serious.
Lexie agreed that it sounded fun and we bought the book. Lexie finished it last night. I think it may have taken her about three hours total to read all 260 pages.
After she and the kids left for her mother's place this afternoon I read the book. Took me about seven and a half hours, but I did it in one sitting. It was as expected. Fluff. "Candy," Lexie called it. Kind of told as a murder mystery, but given the lack of clues, really more of a suspense.
The author has written three more in the series so far. We might pick up another just because it took so little investment.
