I don't often participate here because it seems many who contribute read a lot of the same material and I seem to read a lot that's quite different. However, I did just finish Just One Damned Thing After Another, which a lot seem to have read and enjoyed. I thought it was a lot of fun and blasted through it quickly. I'll pick up the sequels - they're available at Kobo and they're cheap!
I also just finished The Casual Vacancy. It was much better than I had expected, particularly after reading many poor reviews shortly after it was published. There wasn't a single character that I liked, but I did want to know what horrible thing each would do next. I'm a huge David Adams Richards fan; a Canadian author who writes rather dark novels that take place in the Mirimachi area of New Brunswick. Rowling's book reminded me of a Richards' book set in England.
