The Awakening & Other Short StoriesThe Awakening & Other Short Stories by Kate Chopin

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

37% into the book, I give up. It was interesting in the beginning, but now it just bores me. I know, it is supposed to be an important feminist novella, but snoooore.

Last weekend I started this one....

A Taste of Crimson (Crimson City, #2)A Taste of Crimson by Marjorie M. Liu


I worked late every day and I had to play a lot with my new toys, but still-- I should have made it further than page 49. The first book was ok. Perhaps I should have a rule of thumb--if the first book in a series is only "ok", don't get the next one...

This might be the touch of death for Crimson City.... The next Sookie was in my mailbox this morning:

Dead in the Family  Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris


I am now debating the next book with myself. I could get it as a regular paperback in a month or wait for a year to get the mass market paperback for half the price. The Kindle edition costs a ridiculous 23 dollars. Do they not want people to buy ebooks or what is the deal here?

On the next Charlaine Harris: Is the exchange rate that bad? Amazon lists the Kindle edition as $14.99; the hardback pre-order is $14.70 (I have ordered it.)

I'm in the US -- and Amazon shows the price at $14.99 for "Dead Reckoning" -- which is the next book, due out in May. "Dead in the Family" which has been out in hardback and Kindle for a year shows a Kindle price of $12.99 and a paperback price of $7.99 when it is released in paperback on Tuesday.

I suspect that the Kindle edition price will go down once the paperback is released.
