Thursday 13: Books on my to-be-read pile

I've said many times that I'd read just about any book that came into my hands. Well, here's a sample of a few of the titles on my TBR list - everything from mystery to paranormal to horror. I've spared you a look at my non-fiction list... it's populated with titles to satisfy my love of biology and has quite a few scary-sounding books on forensic science and epidemiology. 

This current list isn't in any particular order, and it contains books from a few years ago that I haven't gotten to yet as well as books that haven't yet been published. The Dark Tower title here is projected for mid-2012, and I'm already waiting very impatiently for it! I especially love series because I get a deeper understanding of the characters and because I already know that I like the author's work. I'm also looking forward to trying a couple of new authors! 

If you have any recommendations, I'm always looking for new books! Who cares if I have piles of books in my library? You can never have enough! 

1. Gideon’s Sword by Preston & Child
2. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
3. Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris
4. Smokin Seventeen by Janet Evanovich
5. The Night Eternal by Guillermo Del Toro
6. Ghost Story by Jim Butcher
7. Hit List by Laurell Hamilton
8. Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs
9. White Witch, Black Curse by Kim Harrison
10. Spider Bones by Kathy Reichs
11. Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong
12. Spider’s Bite by Jennifer Estep
13. The Wind Through the Keyhole (Dark Tower #8) by Stephen King

Thursday 13: Things I'm looking forward to in New Orleans

(Note: This really was posted on Thursday before Blogger had its little hiccough!) 


John and I are renting a house on the edge of the French Quarter for a week. We leave in 18 days and 17 hours (but who's counting)! The last time I was in New Orleans was only a couple weeks before Katrina, and I'm so glad to finally be going back. Here's a few things I'm planning to do there:

1. Book research. My first book takes place in New Orleans, and I’m currently working on a sequel. What better way to capture the flavor of this fabulous city than to do a bit of writing while I’m there.
2. Drinking a hurricane. A little rum on Bourbon Street… okay, it’s probably more accurate to say a lot of rum.
3. Dueling piano bar. Pat O’Brien’s is also famous for their hurricanes. How serendipitous! And it’s always fun to make the pianists play “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
4. Hot tub!
5. Shopping at the French Market. Shopping... need I say more?
6. Ordering a muffuletta from Central Grocery. What is a muffuletta, you ask? It’s an enormous sandwich made with Italian meats and cheeses and topped with olive salad.
7. Live jazz music. You can’t sling a dead cat in this town without hitting a jazz musician. Not that I’d want to sling a cat, dead or alive, or hit a musician, jazz or otherwise.
8. Voodoo shops. Metaphysical stuff + shopping = happiness.
9. Beignets and café au lait. There is no other way to start the morning in New Orleans, at least as far as I’m concerned.
10. Aquarium. Have I ever been to a city with an aquarium and NOT visited it? I think not.
11. St. Louis Cemetery #1. Okay, potentially morbid, but it is a key location in my next book!
12. Karaoke at the Cat’s Meow. Yes, enough hurricanes (see #2!) and I have been known to do karaoke.
13. Relaxing!
