3. I've been back in the Shetland Islands.

I'm about 20 pages from the end of White Nights, the second book of Ann Cleeves' Shetland Island series. And I'm totally bummed that I haven't got any other books coming in from my library.

I got books 3 and 4 of the Shetland series a couple weeks ago and devoured them. I thought they were really wonderful. I finally got books 1 and 2 last week, and once I finish #2, I'm stuck again. the 5th book in the series wasn't in the library system yet when I ordered the first four. And now there's a 6th book in the series - but who knows how long it will take for that one to be available.

Anyway, besides reading Raven Black last week, the first of the Shetland series, I finished the 4th book in Nele Neuhaus' Bodenstein & Kirchhoff series - the only 4 books by this author currently available in English translation, apparently. There's a 5th book in the series slated for January 2015 - but that will take ages to make its way to my rural linteribarary sytem.

It's a terrible thing, being both a book addict and a fast reader - I generally go through 3-4 books a week. My tiny local library simply can't keep up.
