Thanks for your recommendation and vampire-related comments. I look forward to the day when book publishers decide that the world has seen enough vampire books and we can all move onto the next Big Thing. I will still read
Jane Bites Back, as soon as I figure out how to get a copy. It is not in my local library catalogue (not a big surprise -- they don't stock much American fiction beyond the most obvious best-sellers), and I can't find an eBook version available in the UK, except for the Kindle. I don't have the bookshelf space in my flat to buy a physical copy of every book that I feel like reading.
The best solution is for a friend to buy the book, and then I can borrow it. Or this can be another reason why I really should buy a Kindle. It would be much more fun to buy books if I didn't have to worry about where I was going to put them.
