Being a fast reader definitely has its advantages. But a big disadvantage is that I run through books like crazy, and to be honest, I can’t afford the bookstore tab.

I’m on vacation right now, and since Monday night I’ve read the following books, in order:

  • “Big Boned,” by Meg Cabot
  • “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,” by Alexander McCall Smith
  • “The Book of Lost Things,” by John Connelly
  • “Pearls of Lutra,” by Brian Jacques
  • “Tears of the Giraffe,” by Alexander McCall Smith
  • “Make Him Look Good,” by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez
  • “The Gun Seller,” by Hugh Laurie (Okay, this one is only partially finished; I’m trying to stretch it out for the plane ride home.)
