Having just posted my review of the Amazon Kindle over at Real Simple, I thought I'd post a list of the book that I cruised through on my vacation. As you will notice, my reading followed a very specific theme - see if you can figure it out.

My first download was "You Suck" by Christopher Moore. It is a sequel to another book I enjoyed, Bloodsucking Fiends.

Then, I downloaded Twilight, the first book in the very popular Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Not really sure how I found out about the series, but I found the first book very enjoyable so I quickly downloaded and read the next two books, New Moon and Eclipse.

Once I finished Eclipse, I started researching the series and realized that rabid fans were anxiously awaiting the release of the final book of the series, Breaking Dawn, which was scheduled for the next day! Talk about great timing. While I waited for the Kindle version, which was released one day after the print version, I downloaded a free copy of Spirit House: A Vincent Calvino Crime Novel. It was enjoyable but definitely didn't fit into my vacation theme, so I didn't finish it.

After downloading all the Twilight books, Amazon then started throwing recommendations at me with a similar flavor. Based on those recommendations I downloaded Undead and Unwed, a light and amusing read by MaryJanice Davidson. During the drive home from North Carolina I then read the sequels Undead and Unemployed and Undead and Unappreciated.

This is also the time I started to worry about how many books I had purchased during my trip - darn Kindle making it so easy to buy a book by just clicking a button! (The grand total for all this reading - $49.49 not counting the Kindle. Not too bad).

Fortunately for me, but unfortunately for my credit card, I have another road trip planned for this weekend. I want to try to read more (if not all) of the Undead series before I have to return the Kindle to Amazon on Monday.

Have I mentioned how much I love vacation?
