5. Real Murders by Charlaine Harris
A quick read. I started it around 6:30 this evening, when I got tired of sitting in front of my computer and wanted to do something else. I finished it a few hours later. It wasn't a "omigod I've got to know who did it!" sort of thing-- I put the book down to eat dinner, and a second time when I decided that I wanted a shower tonight instead of tomorrow morning. It was good but not the gold standard of excellence. The heroine was more "real" than many, and I may pick up more books in this series just because of her (though shame on her for not telling either of her beaus that she had accepted a date from the other).
Incidentally, murder mysteries are books that I consider not-worth-keeping, in that I can't be bothered to read them a second time, knowing who did it. So if you're local and interested in a free book and like mysteries, let me know. Otherwise it will end up in a library book sale or something.

I did an amazon search and read the description of the book and it doesn't really sound like it's my thing. Plus apparently it's a series and I'm not sure I want to follow yet another series (I'm already following like 5 of them!). Thank you for offering the book though!
