The end of the year is upon us and it's time to wrap up things that can be wrapped up. One of them is my participation in the Anita Blake reading challenge.
I am really glad I participated as I loved Anita since I read the first book about her and I don't think that will ever stop. She is such a particularly unique character in the world of books that everyone who reads Laurell Hamilton's books has strong feelings about her (either good or bad, but strong). Which in my opinion says a lot.
I expect I will re-visit the series again as I like the books a lot and feel like a glutton when reading through them (no stopping me). Since this was my second time around, and this time I didn't have to wait for books to come out but could read the whole series through, I feel I got a better idea of the complicated inner world in which Anita battles each day, as well as the world of politics and metaphysics where she is forever trying to find a stable position. Even though she is a strong character (and ruthless when called for), she has a sof spot in my heart (and I know she has one in her heart due to all the love and friendship she displays throughout the books).
I know she is an imaginary character, but still she managed to show me how to be strong and persistent in the face of adversity, how much value should be put into true friendships and that love is always generous.
Hope you get to enjoy the series if you still haven't and here is the list of books I read.
1. Guilty Pleasures
2. The Laughing corpse
3. Circus of the Damned
4. The Lunatic Cafe
5. Bloody Bones

P.S. I just didn't read that one novella that I still can't remember the name of and which isn't listed on L. Hamilton's site as a standalone work (all these are).
