I'm not sure what's going on with my library and e-books, but this year they seem to be slow getting new ones. I just checked and both The Water Dancer, and Inside Out are available (or on order) for actual books, but not e-books.

I'm a bit upset right now. I checked out an e-book and it was really good. But it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. A quick Google search reveled that the book is the first one in a series and the e-book library I use doesn't have the next book, nor does my local library.

Maybe keep an eye on, or sign up to, BookBub and maybe it'll show up there. 
I've been indulging in cozy mystery series. I finished the H.Y. Hanna English Cottage Garden one and am almost through Fiona Snycker's Cat's Paw Cozy Mysteries
Have you tried Amazon's Kindle?I'm a bit upset right now. I checked out an e-book and it was really good. But it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger.

No, I haven't.
Ours says it is on order and I am second in line. My library is pretty good about getting books and getting them out quickly.
It. I am reading all day, even late at night. Not as frightening as the first time I read the book, still a great horror story.
I used to read Stephen King books but havent for some time. Just finishing Lisa Gardener's Paranoid, enjoyable.
I finished another e-book. Its called Belle. I really liked it but it was too short. It wish is was longer.
Ah, SPIT,
jcat
! Now I have to go look at the "Cat's Paw" series, and PROBABLY add it to the list of over 1600 "to read" books. Um...what am I reading? One of the Cook Book Nook books...OH YEAH! "Fudging the Books!" Fun mysteries, I really like the characters, and I LOVE the recipes!
This is when Kindle has me! If I've read something that has another book and my library doesn't have it or does but I can't get it immediately - I download it. I don't overall buy a lot of books. This is really my only bad habit so I count myself lucky!I'm a bit upset right now. I checked out an e-book and it was really good. But it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger.

Saw this and thought some could relate:
I'm almost done with Final Girls and I must say, when I was locking up last night, I took a bag of rubbish out and got a little scared. The book is sooo good but if you're on of those afraid-to-be-in-a-dark forest-type-of-person and you're going camping or staying in a remote cottage, I would read this book after my trip.

I've been reading some of Amazon Kindle's free books and I have to say that they're pretty darn crappy. I finished the Haunting at the Sebring Hotel and I would believe it was written by somebody in high school and that might be too mature. I would have been very upset had I had to pay for this book.
Other books:
The Night Visitors - Carol Goodman
A Vineyard Summer - Jean Stone
The Perfect Girlfriend - Karen Hamilton
Never Look Back - Alison Gaylin
The Plot is Murder - V.M. Burns
Never Have I Ever - Joshilyn Jackson

I'm about 28 times the limit, then...and I ONLY keep the ones I'd like to re-read!
Still working on The Cook Book Nook series. And enjoying it. GOOD recipes, FUN cat, a touch of the paranormal. My One Stop Cozy Mystery Genre Shopping Spot.
Bookbub had Dead Men Do Tell Tales for $1.99 today. It was written by Dr. William Maples, forensic pathologist genius and professor at UF in Gainesville.
I know Dr Maples personally, as I did the State Property inventory for his office and lab and "lab." Referring to the small body farm behind his building screened with a 10 foot wooden fence. Very few people knew it was there. This was for the C.A. Pound Human ID Lab. He was the top forensic pathologist east of the Rockies. He was in demand by FBI, NTSB, FAA and so on.
Dr. Maples was a Gentleman in all meanings. He always greeted me with a handshake and a smile. Unassuming looking, until he started talking and my mouth almost dropped.
I just started the book. I may be in there (disguised). I will let all y'all know.
