The Shack

by William P. Young
- Rated 0 stars
“This is the only book I am not giving a star-rating too, as I still, days later, and not sure how I felt about this book, nor whether I liked it or not. This is very unusual for me.”

Fearless Fourteen

by Janet Evanovich
- Rated 4 stars
“Not my favorite in the series as it wasn't as funny as some of the others and it didn't have enough Ranger in it! But, a good read, never-the-less.

Now I have to wait until June for the release of #15! ”

Plum Lucky

by Janet Evanovich
- Rated 3 stars
“The 'between the numbers' books in the series have never been my favorite, but this one was one of the more enjoyable ones. Maybe it's because I have come to expect & accept these books to be more in the rhelm of fantasy.

Diesel is back in this one (no Morelli and Ranger as usual - bummer), joined by a a character named Snuggy, another 'little person', and Doug, a talking horse. Once I could accept all that, I enjoyed the book.”

Lean Mean Thirteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 13)

by Janet Evanovich
- Rated 4 stars
“Still loving the series, even reading them all in a row. I wished in this one though that J.E. would start to move the characters along a bit, as it is much more of the same. However, that also gives the series charm and a formula the reader can depend on. The books are hilarious, and a quick easy read. But, come on now Stephanie - PICK ONE (or have a little fun with both!)!!!”

Plum Lovin'

by Janet Evanovich
- Rated 2 stars
“I decided as of the last novel, J.E. is my all-time favorite author. I love her mix of mystery, humor, and romance. I am especially hooked on the Ranger / Morelli plot line (and I'm not one normally for romance novels). I am really attached to these characters, and find myself reading one after another in the series, something I've never done with any other author.

However, I really don't enjoy the 'in between the numbers' books, such as this Plum Lovin'. It is the second one, and I guess I don't like them because they don't do much to further the storyline. I just don't get it.

In this particular book, Stephanie plays cupid in the line of business. ”

Twelve Sharp

by Janet Evanovich
- Rated 4 stars
“I didn't give this one 5-stars, because for the first 98 pages I was wondering why Stepanie was back as a bounty hunter and not working at the bat cave - how frustrating! Otherwise, a great book, guess I can forgive you Janet!”

Ten Big Ones

To the Nines

by Janet Evanovich
- Rated 3 stars
“I wonder .... where's the funny?? I got spoiled in some of the earlier books in the series being much more funny. I look forward to the funny parts, as for me, that's what this series is all about, since the mysteries & suspense are usually light (as compared to say James Patterson or Dean Koontz.

Still a fan though! Still moving on to #10!”

Visions of Sugar Plums

by Janet Evanovich
- Rated 2 stars
“I just didn't get it. But, glad I read it since it was a 'between the numbers' novel, and the storyline continues. A very fast read too, just a day.”
