What are you reading?

I just finished Dead and Gone - the latest in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I must say, I like Eric better in the books than in the show, TrueBlood.

I also just finished a lovely read called Shanghai Girls by Lisa See. It is a lovely look at the 1930's and a beautiful story of the bond of two sisters.

I just started Namah's Kiss by Jacqueline Carey. For those who aren't familiar, her Kushiel series is probably in the top 2 of my all time favs. Doesn't hurt that the heroine in the Kushiel's is an anguisette (pain bearer = masochist) and that Carey creates a very tangible world. Its not often I can get absolutely absorbed in a book, and I literally could not put the first six down.

I am also reading Angel Time by Anne Rice. If I am not mistaken, its her first novel since her husband's death and I'm not quite sure it has the same "voice" as all her previous works.
