Have Pen, Will Travel: This Could Be A Problem

This Could Be A Problem

Okay, so here's the problem. I read really fast.

Wanna know how fast? I read A Lick of Frost by Laurell K. Hamilton in under 3 hours. Yeah, I've read it before, but still. 274 pages in under 3 hours. I was even a little horrified (by my reading speed, not the book).

I'm not going to recommend it, not because I didn't like it, but because it's probably not anything that anyone I know would read. If you ever want to know my opinion on LKH books, or even just on one series or the other, ask me, but not here.
