What can I say about this series? Stephanie Plum is, by far, my favorite character, ever. I like to let a couple months go by between reading these books and I know that I've almost caught up, but, every time I travel to Trenton, I just enjoy myself so much. I can't tell you how many times I actually guffawed while reading this book!
I mean, how often does that happen?
The students in my first block class asked me, today, how many books I've read over the years and if I had kept a list of them. Unfortunately, I haven't. Then I got to thinking; say I started reading at age 10 and I'm 60 now, so that's 50 years of reading. I've easily read a book a week so 50 X 50=2500. I know I've read at least that many and probably many more!
So, during my planning block, I decided to go through the book cases in my room to list the books I've read. I only had time to do one book case and here's a list of what I've read from it:

YOu know I love the Plum series. I'm anxiously waiting for the next one. I've heard nasty rumors it may be the last. I like Grandma Mazur too-she cracks me up.
That's quite the list of books. I have a little box with index cards and I write my authors in there or have misc cards and that's how I keep track of what I've read. I'd love to read In the Time of Butterflies-I think I'll get it from the library next year for the library challenge.
Me too, me too! Stephanie Plum series is book candy! Always want more. I have a signed copy of Hard Eight from a promotion tour at the Culver City Costco (of all places)! Janet E. is such a pettie woman. I started listening to her books on tape first - read by CJ Critt - they are excellent.
It's so much fun to browse thru your library list. I'm interested in the other titles. On my recent favorites shelf are Coal Run & Back Roads - Tawny O'Dell, Dirty Girls Social Club - Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, 3 by Elizabeth Berg, Brat Farrar & Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey, Madness in the Family - William Saroyan, Come Tell Me How You Live - Agatha Christie Mallowan, East of Eden - John Steinbeck, Foul Matter - Martha Grimes (I've listened to all available of her Richard Jury series on tape), Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold, Digging to China - Anne Taylor, One True Thing, Black & Blue, Blessings - Anna Quindlen... sorry, I do go on!
I'm going to look up some of your titles of authors I haven't read.
