Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

This week I chose my latest guilty pleasure read to feature here. Hit List by Laurell K. Hamilton is the 20th in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. I am always eager to catch up with Anita's latest adventure. I even stuck around during the "man, there's a lot of gratuitous sex" phase of the series. I have heard that this one has moved away from that story arc. But, since I have just picked up the book, I will have to wait and see.

Beginning:
The main piece of the body lay on the ground, on its back in the middle of a smooth grassy field.
Friday 56:
"Take care of Edward for me and the kids."
I am really hoping that Edward does have a role to play in this one. He is one of the most intriguing characters in the whole series for me.
