yep, the Bubba books are going to be a series and I am thrilled.I downloaded "Bubba and the Dead Woman" for free, figured I had nothing to lose if it just ended up being one to delete.  I enjoyed it so much and got so hooked on Bubba's character that I immediately purchased "Bubba and the 12 Deadly Days of Christmas."When I began to read this one, my first reaction was "oh no, not the same plot device again" as it looked like it was going to be a repeat of the first book, just set four months later.  There are some similarities: Bubba is still a magnet for trouble that is not of his making, still does his best to handle situations honorably and there is still a lawman ready to blame him just so that he can close the case.  We get enough new characters added into the mix though and learn enough additional data about the background of certain Pegramville residents to make this a fresh new story.The Bubba books are a mix of mystery, humor and a dash of romance in Pegramville, a small southern town full of quirky characters who I enjoyed getting to know a bit better in this second Bubba Snoddy book.Like other reviewers, I was thrilled to realize when I came to the end of this one that there will be at least one more (I hope many more) Bubba books coming.  I will happily pay to read more of Bubba and get to know the sundry residents of Pegramville even better.  I read 4 to 5 books a week and particularly enjoy series where we get to know the characters so well over time that they seem like old friends.  I have hopes that the Bubba books will become one of these series.
