I don't stop into this thread very often. My last post said:

Here's another case where the most recently published books are available, but the backlist is missing.
I finished In the Company of Others on 2 September, then picked up Dead to the World for the Kindle. This is the 4th in Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series. My mother-in-law had brought me #5 and #6 in paperback and I had promised to send them to one of my bookswapping friends, so I needed to read #4 quickly so I could read the others before mailing them off.

After Dead to the World, I picked up a really good "contemporary" or "mainstream" novel: Thursdays at Eight by Debbie Macomber. Then I plunged into several vampire novels: Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse #5), One Foot in the Grave and At Grave's End, both by Jeanine Frost (#2 and #3 in her Night Huntress series). I'm now about 100 pages into the sixth Sookie Stackhouse book: Definitely Dead.

On Wednesday, I leave for two weeks in Ireland and I'm busy queuing up electronic books for the trip. Top of the list is Septembers Book Club selection -- The Mysterious Affair at Styles -- and then I'm thinking about checking out some of the freebies I got in the past couple of months.
