Something I notice about myself (about reading, but also in general):
I go on jags.
I can eat the same lunch (Boloco black bean burrito with extra salsa and lettuce, in case you're interested) 25 work days in a row.
I can listen to the same album (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, in case you're interested) so many times on repeat that I dream about the lyrics.
And, apparently, I can easily fall into a pattern of reading (and more notably, forgetting to keep up with) mystery series.
I got the most recent Lisa Lutz book, Trail of the Spellmans (part of the wonderful Izzy Spellman mystery series), and I was ~15 pages in when I realized why I was so confused: I had never read the previous book in the series. SO, I went back and got The Spellmans Strike Again, and read that, and enjoyed it, and am now actually ready to read the most recent book in the series.
But, has anyone noticed that the last two novels I read were installments in series?
In mystery series?
In mystery series I had forgotten to keep up with?
I'm leaving this particular jag. (For the moment, at least.)
