Oh, I see exactly what you meant by "fluffy" now...It's a book by Mariah Stewart.

A similar thing happened to me with the Southern Vampire Mysteries (the Sookie Stackhouse books). After True Blood started, the books went waaay downhill. The first five or so are very entertaining. I think Ms. Harris intended to finish the series much sooner and was convinced to keep on writing because of the show. Ugh. Bad idea. What she did was nothing short of character assassination. I felt like I lost some of my best friends.I was SOOOOOO into the Stephanie Plum books a few years ago. Even when I noticed it was more of the "same old same old" I still read them and it didn't bother me much. However, after attempting to watch the terrible movie, ugh can't think of the name right now, I think it was ONE FOR THE MONEY, I completely turned against the whole series. I was a bit saddened by the whole experience, I used to love those books.
I know what you're saying about Scotland! After finishing Ian Rankin's new Rebus detective book (Saints of the Shadow Bible), which takes place in Edinburgh, I got started on the Outlander series with the first book. Just finished that and am moving on to Dragonfly in Amber.On my Nook:
No One Will Hear You - Max Allen Collins
Drums of Autumn - Diana Gabaldon (Outlander Book 4)
The Fiery Cross - Diana Gabaldon (Outlander Book 5)
Unseen - Karin Slaughter
I am re-reading the Outlander series in between other books.
I put both Drums of Autumn and The Fiery Cross on hold at the same time because I figured that way, I wouldn't have to wait long between the two books. Well, The Fiery Cross came in first over a week ago, but I thought it wouldn't be much of a problem because I was 1 out of 1 on the list for Drums of Autumn.
The best-laid plans of mice and men.....and me. I just finally got Drums of Autumn this morning and I can keep The Fiery Cross for only 5 days yet. That means I have to read Drums of Autumn (book 4) and then The Fiery Cross (book 5) in five days. And did I mention that's over 2,300 pages for both books? I am going to have my nose in my Nook for the next five days if it kills me. I will be living and breathing Scotland (well, the States, at this point in the series)!
Jefferson Bass is actually the writing team of Dr. Jefferson and Dr. Bass. It tells that in the back of the book.
Almost finished with my E.E. 'Doc' Smith collection. 14 full novels in one e-book. I think the next one will be "Cut to the Bone" , one of the 'Body Farm Series' by Jefferson Bass, one of the best forensic anthropologists in the US. I never met him, but I was well acquainted with Dr. Maples, of the C.A. Pound Human ID lab. Most students and employees of UF never knew there was a body farm right on campus.
How did you like Dinosaur Wars:Eartfall?Jefferson Bass is actually the writing team of Dr. Jefferson and Dr. Bass. It tells that in the back of the book.
I also read Dinosaur Wars:Earthfall. Thanks @Winchester
for pointing it out to me.
Right now I am reading Hybrid, a B&N Free Friday book.
