#17

Book #17 for 2011 is Janet Evanovich's Smokin' Seventeen.  I look forward every summer to the new Stephanie Plum adventure.  I usually buy the book and Amy pays me half (or more because she doesn't think half is fair.?.) to have it after me.  On the way to the beach on Tuesday I stopped at Wal-Mart to buy this one and read to chapter 25 while sitting in the sand (oh, glorious day).

I love Morelli and I love Ranger and I love Lula.  The characters in these books are so OVER the TOP and they make me laugh.  The plots leave something to be desired...I had this one figured out pretty quickly ~ but it's such a light, easy, pleasant read that I love it.
This one ended with a stupid cliffhanger ~ Stepahie KNOWS who she's inviting on vacation, but we have to wait until November 22, 2011 to "find out what happens next in Explosive Eighteen" ~ love how there's an advertisement for the next book on the last page ~ UGH.  And really?  Stephanie Plum is beach reading, not snow reading!  Maybe it'll bring a little summer to late fall.  And can she really pick?
