With it being Sunday and Monday nibbling at our heels I decided on some book candy for today's entry. Without further delay....
Janet Evanovich is the author of the Wicked series (has absolutely nothing to do with the choosing of my blogger name.), the Fox & O'Hare series, Barnaby & Hooker series, some stand alone romance books and of course the series of topic for this entry her Plum series. It can be read as a series or stand alone. She recaps the main details in every book. Personally it drives me Bonkers! Though I can understand why she does it. However, if you read any of this series as a stand alone you should know there are some references made from previous books.
The book is told in the perspective of Stephanie Plum who is a not very street smart bounty hunter and quite frankly if she were not a character in a book would not see the following day. Due to her job she gets into some CRAZY yet sticky situations. She has the interest of two men Ranger who is an ex Special Forces and Joe Morelli A bad boy turned local cop. She has chemistry with both in different ways. The supporting characters also add to the fun and humor of this compilation to make it that much more enjoyable.
These are my go to books when I am just wanting to unwind, distress and relax after a difficult day and need a laugh. If you are looking for a series to do the same you will enjoy these books as well. There are 20 books in the series out currently. Top Secret Twenty One is said to be released June of 2014.
The following is a list of the books:
ONE FOR THE MONEY
TWO FOR THE DOUGH
THREE TO GET DEADLY
FOUR TO SCORE
HIGH FIVE
HOT SIX
SEVEN UP
HARD EIGHT
TO THE NINES
TEN BIG ONES
ELEVEN ON TOP
TWELVE SHARP
LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN
FEARLESS FOURTEEN
FINGER LICKIN' FIFTEEN
SIZZLING SIXTEEN
SMOKIN' SEVENTEEN
EXPLOSIVE EIGHTEEN
NOTORIOUS NINETEEN
TAKEDOWN TWENTY
Compared to other series these books can be quite pricey depending on your book budget.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the craziness of bounty hunter Stephanie Plum!
Best Wishes Always,
HAPPY READING!

First Blog Entry: Jeaniene Frost Books
Growing up I hated reading books that lets be honest should have come with a pillow and a blanket. I am sure we have all read books that were more of a struggle than an enjoyment. I need that hook from the start or I will not bother. If you are like me you probably have a list of authors, you generally stick with. I see other book recommendations out there but they do not interest the selective reader in me. The crazy odd ball that I am I read whatever pulls me in. I pay no attention to the targeted age group when it comes to selecting a book. I decided to start this blog and share my list of authors who made the cut. I will give my honest and blunt opinions of each. I will do my best not to mention spoilers. (Each book mentioned will be a separate post.) Note to parents: Any recommendations I make is up to you the parent whether you allow your child(ren) to read it or not.
First up is Jeaniene Frost! (Paranormal) I love all her books! All her series tie in together. (Except her new Broken Destiny series to be released in August 2014) I have yet to be disappointed by any of her books. It is strange for me. I typically only have one favorite series from each author. Mrs Frost has the following series: The Night Huntress, Night Huntress World and Night Prince. If I HAD to pick one it would be the Night Huntress series. The first of seven is Halfway To The Grave.
The book is told in Cat Crawford's perspective. She is half human half vampire who happens to hunt the undead but is not given much choice but to work with Bones who is a vampire. The humor, and chemistry in this series is unique. It is very action packed. I found it hard to put down and it left me wanting more. In this series you will meet some intriguing and funny characters a long the way in some crazy predicaments. I could go on and on about this series but I do not want to spoil it for you. If you read the first and want to continue reading the series the reading order is as follows:
HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE
ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE
AT GRAVE'S END
DESTINED FOR AN EARLY GRAVE
THIS SIDE OF THE GRAVE
ONE GRAVE AT A TIME
UP FROM THE GRAVE
This book series is enjoyable and affordable! DIG IN!
Best Wishes Always,
HAPPY READING!
