Well readers, sorry it took me forever and a day to get back
on here, but I am back and that is all that matters!!!! I’ve read a lot of
great books these past few months and I can’t wait to share them with you!!!!!
I hope
everyone had an awesome New Year and that they made some really good
resolutions. J I
know one of my goals for this New Year is that I have to read at least 25
books. In 2013 I read 75, but I will be going to UW-Milwaukee this year to
finish my degree in biochemistry and let’s be real during a school semester
there isn’t a lot of time for reading unless it’s a text book. That’s why I
chose 25 for the 2014 year.
Now
without further adieu I will introduce this amazing series of books that I
encountered. They are called the Stephanie Plum Series written by JanetEvanovich. No the series has 20 books in it, which yes it does seem like an
insane amount of books in a series, but honestly once you start reading them
you won’t be able to put them down! I know I couldn’t.
This
series chronicles the insanely lucky, yet dangerously chaotic life of Stephanie
Plum. Stephanie was married for all of ten minutes, got laid off from her lingerie
job and due to desperate measures had to work for her weasely cousin Vinny as an
apprehension agent, or better known as a bounty hunter. The series takes place
in Trenton, New Jersey, where the summers are hot and the criminals are in
surplus.
Now I
bet you’re thinking of Dog the Bounty hunter with his luscious long hair and
leather clothes racing around town trying to catch the bad guys, but that is
not at all how this series is. Stephanie, well she’s a mess, and most of the
time you read and you just shake your head and laugh because seriously
Stephanie is the modern day Lucy Ricardo; well minus the housewife aspect and
the well furnished home. As Ethel is to Lucy, Lula is to Stephanie. Lula is
Stephanie’s assistant and those two could give Laurel and Hardy a run for their
money!
She is
a heavyset African American with a wardrobe that shouts “I love color!” on a
regular basis. She really is a love hate character. She is funny and she’s
gotten Stephanie out of trouble several times, but she also gets her into a lot
of trouble too. Now, I guess would be a good time to introduce Ricky Ricardo in
this analogy, or should I say Ricky Ricardos, since there are two amazingly hot
men in stephanies life! :-O
Joe
Morelli, is a non uniformed police officer, who was a fugitive, and is
Stephanie’s on again off again boyfriend. He’s hot, he has his own home, a dog
named Bob, and everything a girl would want. However, then there is Ranger.
Ranger is six feet of muscled goodness that is the epitome of maleness. So when
Stephanie is in the off again stage with Joe who better to fill the bed than
with a very successful, mysterious Ranger?
I could
go on forever about the characters that bring this series to life because
believe they all make the series what it is, but it would also take pages to
describe them all. I say the best way to get to know Evanovich’s amazing
characters is to go pick up her books and read them! They will leave you
laughing, on the edge of your seat, and wanting to be a bounty hunter
yourself!!
Evanovich
also wrote some in between books, but I haven’t quite read them yet, but
believe me I will get into those as well!!! I will probably write another blog
consisting of those that way they get their time in the light as well!
Also
they created a movie for One for the Money and it was actually pretty
awesome! Katherine Heigl stars as Stephanie Plum and it can be found on
Netflix! Look into seriously!!!
I think this will be
all for tonight!!!
Keep turning those
pages!
