More books to read and a progress report

In Barnes and Noble today, I discovered several more books I definitely need to read.

Plum Lucky, Janet Evanovich
This is another Stephanie Plum novel. This one is a "Between the Numbers" book about St. Patrick's Day and I can't wait to read it!

Death Star, Michael Reaves and Steve Perry
This Star Wars novel goes back to the time of the original trilogy and tells the story of the Death Star from the point of view of its creators and operators.

Ravens of Avalon, Diana L. Paxson
This is another novel in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon series. Although Bradley died a few years ago, her collaborator, Paxson, has continued the series. These books are among my favorite ever and they really started my interest in Arthurian legend. I especially like that they are told from the point of the women involved. This one is the story of Queen Boudicea and her efforts to drive the Roman invaders out of her homeland. I am incredibly excited about this book.

Additionally, I am thoroughly enjoying The Choice. My favorite thing about it so far is that it is set here in NC and describes places that are as familiar to me as the back of my hand: the lovely town of Beaufort, my beloved Chapel Hill streets, and other places that are a part of my home.
