Explosive Eighteen, Janet Evanovich

This is an adult book that is one of my favorite mystery series. It's fluffy and funny and silly and goofy, and I love these books. I am also excited because I heard they're making a movie of this first book, which I've said they needed to do forever. This is book is pretty much like the books in the rest of the series,and maybe that's why I like it. Nice easy predictability. I need that sometimes. Plus I need books that make me laugh. This fits the bill.

Plum Spooky - Janet Evanovich

Janet Evanovich is one of my favorite grown up mystery authors. She has a funny, spunky character named Stephanie Plum who's a bounty hunter. If someone doesn't show up for their court date, Stephanie has to go after them. She's kind of a klutz and always ends up in crazy situations. Kind of like how I'd imagine I might be if I were a bounty hunter. But Evanovich generally makes the situations funny, so they stories aren't too stressful to read. This was a "Between the Numbers" book. Most of the series have a number in their title. This was a pretty typical one, but I thought it was a little more sinister than usual. Still, I enjoyed it, and fans of the series will not want to miss it.

Lean Mean Thirteen - Janet Evanovich

I blame Mrs. McBride for getting me hooked on this series :)

This is the thirteenth novel in Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, and these are just great, easy reading, fun and funny mystery books for grown ups.

If you are a mystery fan who is not afraid to laugh out loud, you should snuggle up with Stephanie this fall and be entertained. These are not deep, frightening, highly developed or intricate mysteries, but I love them. And then there's Ranger and Morelli. Wow! I'm not sure how she does it, but Mrs. McBride and I will continue to live vicariously through her as long as we can.

When's the movie coming out???
