I haven&#8217;t read Sue Grafton yet, but I&#8217;m going to give her a try.  As an NBA fan, I enjoyed the last Mike Lupica book I read, so I&#8217;m going to give him another try.  I haven&#8217;t read any of the others, but I like thrillers, and I&#8217;ve been reading more YA (<em>Lost in the War<\/em>) lately.  The other three?  Just curious.<\/p>\n<p>Still working on goals for 2007.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did it again. Another book binge at Books-A-Million.
