Day Shift: A Novel of Midnight, Texas | 
so-soIt's been soooo long since I've read anything from Charlaine Harris! I noticed I had missed her. This book wasn't as good as her other books I've read. I really liked the characters and there even were couple familiar ones from the Southern vampire series. I think this book would have needed a bit more stronger plotline but I did really like the town of Midnight and it's residents.
It's been years since I've last read Charlaine Harris. I used to LOVE her Sookie Stackhouse series. I hope this is as good! 😊
Day 1: finished this audio while walking, then driving for 3 hours. Always fun to listen to Charlaine Harris!

pickI really enjoyed this second book in the series. It seems like there was even more going on in this book than the first. There were a few things that didn't get explained, but I'm hoping it will all make sense after I read the third book.

This is the second in the Midnight Texas series, and I think I liked it more than the first. Probably because I've grown to like the characters of the town. I also liked that it included a couple familiar faces from the Sookie Stackhouse books. The narrator did a great job with the audio (I especially enjoy her Mr. Snuggly voice 🐱).

It‘s been a little over a year since Manfred moved to Midnight. He‘s finally feeling at home and sets up an in person reading session for a long weekend in Dallas. Things go well until a a tragic set of events happen and he gets accused of a crime he didn‘t commit. At the same time, the hotel in Midnight is remodeled and brings a new round of mystery to the town along with several new residents.

Finally getting back into this series as well as physically reading. I‘ve been doing so much audiobooking lately that I‘m actually excited to do a physical read right now 🙌
Hopefully starting a new book will distract me from the heat we are getting this week 🥵

On to Book 2 of the series. I've been falling asleep while i'm reading a lot lately but it's no reflection on the books. Today I'm reading with my favorite napping pillow.
I bought this whole series from the fall library book sale. I am actually reading from my TBR list that I own. This rarely happens. #charlaineharris #librarybooksale #tbr #booksiown #readinginbed
Reading in bed. Using my phone as a reading light so can‘t get an in focus of the book but here‘s a photo of all of our pets. #fluffy #readinginbed #catsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy
so-soThis was an okay mystery but I didn't love the crossover attempt and frankly there was a lot missing.
First snow fall where I live. Beautiful.
Just waiting for my coffee, and it will be a perfect morning. Snow, coffee, book. 😍
pickSo now we have settled in to midnight we know the characters Olivia and Manfred get drawn into trouble when one of his clients dies during a seance.
Holy crap! I glanced up at the end of a chapter and realized I did it! With just 40 pages left in the book, I‘ll probably be finishing the book tonight anyway but wow! I wasn‘t sure if I‘d make it the full 24. #24in48 #24in48readathon #acheivementunlocked #24hoursdown #cantbelieveididit
Onto Book 3! After the last couple of books, I‘ve decided on one with characters I already know and love. #24in48 #24in48readathon #book3 #dayshift #midnighttexas
I just love bookish mail! Got these in today. My To Read list just keeps getting longer!
pickIt's been a funny sort of day. Stresses and not enough sleep catching up with me, so turning my brain off with the people of.Midnight was just the thing.
Apparently my preschooler is a fan of fantasy mysteries involving vampires! Noticed my signed copy of “Day Shift,” from Mama‘s bookshelf ended up in the playroom. Too scary! #bookshelfmischief #bookboy
pickThis book surprised me on two levels; firstly, I got right into the story and enjoyed every moment of it (compared to the first book which I struggled with). I honestly didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Second, though I'd heard there was a connection between this series and the southern vampire mysteries, I didn't expect to fall down the rabbit hole into the Sookie-verse again! Now I'm wanting to start rereads!! 😂
The benefits of break time in a hotel 😁
Just finished work, let's start a new book on the journey home 👍🏻
pickI guess one of the perks of not being able to get back to sleep at 5am is being able to sit in the quiet and finish a great book. This one was just as good as the first with so much more character development. On to book 3!
pickThis book was even better than Midnight Crossroad. As soon as I began reading I was hooked. The new story immediately caught my attention. The introduction of a new mysterious character who that seemed to grow overnight was pretty cool. I love how his story was woven into the main story as a character that continued to be a mystery. The small tidbits about Deidrich never felt out of place in the storyline. #charlaineharris #dayshift #midnighttexas
I‘m up to page 170. This book has been on my TBR list since 2015. Charlaine signed it for me at Book Con 2015 which made my day. #charlaineharris #Dayshift #midnighttexas
I‘m going to read a chapter or two before bed. I like how this book is orange. It looks cool. #charlaineharris #dayshift #midnighttexas
I have hardly read anything in the last few days! This little guy has been super fussy since getting immunizations on Friday, and I've been experiencing a major #bookhangover after finishing The City of Brass. Hoping I can make some headway on the tagged book today. #midnighttexas #dontwakethebaby
#CupidGoesPostal #ValentinesBookExchange what a lovely reason to go to a bookstore! 😊 I found these for myself. Waiting eagerly to try especially the new book from Charlaine Harris. It's been awhile since I've read anything from her.
I‘ve been reading in between naps. #Oliver has been napping, too. I‘m sure he‘s storing his energy so he can run through the house at 3am, sounding like a herd of elephants. 😹😺#catsoflitsy #gingercat #littenkitten #kittenlitten
I‘ve managed to catch one of the various forms of creeping crud that‘s going around work, and I‘m staying home sick today. Plus side - it will probably be a day full of reading. I want to finish up this latest installment in the Midnight, Texas series and decide whether or read a freestanding book or begin my Sue Grafton alphabet series reread. 🤔
Isn‘t it weird that the Rev is a weretiger and he‘s described as “small and slight” on numerous occasions, whereas Quinn and his son are very large men? I suppose you can be small and slight and still be a weretiger, but since it‘s a large animal, the larger build makes more sense. His eyes are yellow, too, and not purple, which is why I didn‘t guess he was a weretiger. Maybe he‘s a shifter? 🤷🏻♀️ Hopefully it‘s explained at some point.
...and to all a good night! 😴❤️🎄Happiest of holidays, Littens! You all certainly made my day a little brighter with your posts, whether they be Christmas related or not. ☺️🌟 #joinin Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, as it is my day off. We are supposed to get quite the snow storm (which has already started) so I‘m glad I don‘t have to go anywhere! ❄️☃️❄️
Loved seeing all the #ssgp posts today! 😍🎄🎅🏻 Litsy is the kindest, most thoughtful community I have ever been a part of! Happy Solstice, Littens! ❤️❤️ Crawling into bed early with a book tonight in hopes of kicking what feels like the beginning of a migraine. 😒🤯 Thank you to @BookBabe @MrBook @Avanders and @BookishMarginalia for this wonderful tradition! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Read locally, y'all! I'm excited to give books by Texas authors this holiday season! Love a talent from your home state? Gift their books! #readlocally #giftbooks #texasauthors
Now that I have all of my gifts wrapped, I‘m just going to sit and listen to my book...
pickA great sequel that answered questions that lingered and left more to be answered! I have truly enjoyed this series so far and find the vast differences between the book and the TV series refreshing. The book is so much better and has more things going on than the TV Series! If you like Sookie, you'll like this series as well! Plus you get to meet an old character from a Sookie book! The secrets of the people in Midnight are slowly being revealed!
Something a little fluffy and relaxing for bedtime. I need an easy read for a bit. Charlene Harris is usually good for that. #screamathon
pickHello character backstories!!!! This is my favourite of the trilogy - character development plus a mostly standard (as in not supernatural) murder mystery... nothing in this series is moving at any great speed though!
pickDeeper dive into the town & some of the characters' backstories. One of Manfred's clients dies & he gets caught up in the ensuing fallout with Olivia somewhat reluctantly helping out. Meanwhile the abandoned town hotel is being mysteriously renovated. Bonus if you loved the Sookie Stackhouse series & 🐯Quinn--he appears in Midnight. 😍This book's plot deviates the most from the tv series-or I guess it's the other way around. Not my fave but good.
When it takes you 4 chapters to figure out the e-book you were reading (Night Shift) is 3rd in the series & not 2nd like you thought. Unfortunately now I have to jam through this one because Night Shift is due back in a few days. 😒 At least tonight's dinner of Greek Salad with Fried Halloumi on top, was delicious. It's also tonight's blog post so I'll put the link in comments below in case anyone has a hankering for fried cheese on salad.😋🧀🥗
so-soMidnight Texas book 2. The abandoned hotel in the town of Midnight, Texas is being renovated, but none of the town's residents understand why.
A nice enough mystery that also advances one of the over-arching story lines. Good enough to keep me reading.
Enjoying some spicy toasted ravioli while finishing up Day Shift and then moving onto Night Shift 😋
pickMuch better than book 1. Now I'm curious as to how Book 3 goes.
Relaxing on this lazy Sunday, reading a book debating on taking a bubble bath or not......
pickBook 37. Learning about more of the characters in this one and setting up for more of the story.
