13, 14, 15 - Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by J. Berendt, Finger Lickin' Fifteen by J. Evanovich, Outcast by A. Allston

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, John Berendt

Matt and I read this book together before we went to Savannah for our anniversary. It's a murder mystery and a marvelous character study...of both Savannah's most colorful citizens and the city herself. It was so much fun to explore the city and be able to say "This is where ___ happened!" We visited the Mercer-Williams house and Johnny Mercer's grave in Bonaventure Cemetery. It was great! The movie is also a good adaptation, given that the story is better told in chronological order on the silver screen.

Finger Lickin' Fifteen, Janet Evanovich

This was another fun installment in the Stephanie Plum series! I really wish they would make these into movies or a TV show or something! I love the characters. This one was better than some of the previous books.

Outcast, Aaron Allston

I am so thrilled to see Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, and Wedge back at the forefront of the adventure! I've enjoyed getting to know the next generation through the Yuzhaan Vong invasion and Jacen's regime, but I've been missing the old familiar characters. I think that Allston has done a good job of showing their age and the way they've changed...I hate static characters. I am really looking forward to the rest of this set.

Savannah vacation

I need to acquire and read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil this month. We are going to Savannah as an anniversary vacation in July! As I was ordering a map on Amazon, the most commonly purchased additional items were the book and DVD. It inspired a great hunger! I think I'll ask Mom if she has a copy I can borrow.

Also related to our trip, I made reservations for the Haunted Pub Crawl while we are there! The man who runs the tour company, James Caskey, wrote a book called Haunted Savannah which I might acquire while we are there. :)
