More books...

The Janet Evanovich era continues... with one small exception. I was sad 'cause I thought I was done with the series, but apparently, there's one more.

70. Nice to Come Home To
And now, for something completely different... in between all the Stephanie Plum books, I managed to squeeze something else in. This was cute - I think the fact that the setting was in Washington, DC added to the cuteness.

69. Plum Lucky
Another between the numbers book. All the same comments apply.

68. Lean Mean Thirteen
I thought this was the last book, but apparently, (other than the stupid between the numbers books) there's one more. Thank goodness. I mean, these books are by no means great literature, but they're entertaining. I'm surprised they haven't made it into a TV show or something yet.

67. Plum Lovin'
Another between the numbers book. Same reaction as the other one. I'm not sure that I would have missed anything by not reading this, but I was afraid I would always be missing something by not reading it.

66. Twelve Sharp
I'm a little sad at this point, because I know that I'm running out of books in this series. At least it was a long series.

65. Eleven on Top
Another one - a little variation on things - this time, Stephanie quits being a bounty hunter.

64. Ten Big Ones
Good thing these are numbered - helps me to figure out what's next.

63. To the Nines
Another one down...

62. Visions of Sugar Plums
You thought I might have varied a little... but no, this is a 'between the numbers' Stephanie Plum book. I wasn't crazy about it, but read it anyway. A little cheesy and disappointing, but short, so not a total waste of time.

61. Hard Eight
Another one - really, hard to find stuff to say, but I'm still enjoying them.

60. Seven Up
So the formula continues, but I'm still entertained. More crazy scenarios, crazy grandma scenes, etc.

Stacy's pulling away

I just don't think I can keep up. But I do have vacation coming up, including an 8 hour car ride. I feel some catching up happening...

59. Hot Six
Clearly, this post is all about Janet Evanovich. I need to read some other books for a little while. PS - it's a little weird sitting on a bus with a book that has the title Hot Six in GIANT letters on the front cover. I tried to hide it.

58. High Five
I guess the sorta rhyming titles ran out. I think she has fans name the books. Anyway, another good one. At some point, it may get hard to believe that so much bad stuff can happen to one person, but I'm going with it for now.

57. Four to Score
Yep, another one. Only 10 more left...

56. Three To Get Deadly
Good thing the titles are in number order - makes it far eaiser to read.

55. Two for the Dough
I'm totally hooked on these books. Good thing there are 14 of them - it should last me the summer.
