Finger Lickin' Fifteen

Janet Evanovich's lastest in the Stephanie Plum series is a good, fast read. Finger Lickin' Fifteen" has Stephanie at odds with Morelli and spending time at Ranger's business. Grandma Mazer has a chance to use her gun this time. Poor Lulu has her share of troubles and of course she and Stephanie get to "practice" bringing in the bail-bond jumpers. Another wacky mystery sure to please. Tuesday night at 7 pm, the Tipp City Library is hosting a Janet Evanovich Trivial Contest. Call the library at 667-3826 to sign up for the fun. The winner will be able to checkout the Finger Lickin' Fifteen novel on Tuesday night no matter how far down you are on the list of holds. We have an extra copy for just that purpose, and this extra copy makes everyone's hold come in all that much quicker. If you can't wait, buy your copy and donate it to the library as soon as you read it. That's what I like to do.

Follow up on Laurie R. King

Our discussion on "The Beekeeper's Apprentice" was one of our best. I am so glad we read this book. Not only because it is the beginning of a great series, but the fact that Laurie R. King is an excellent author and she writes another series and she also has stand alone novels. "Since 1945, the Mystery Writers of America have annually awarded ceramic statuettes of Edgar Allan Poe, known as "Edgars," for outstanding contributions to mystery, crime, and suspense writing." (Novelist Award Winners) Laurie R. King won an Edgar for her first in the Kate Martinelli mystery series, "A Grave Talent". I have "Folly", a stand alone, checked out and on my next book to read list, after I finish the lastest Bill Slider Mystery, "Dear Departed". If you have a chance check out Laurie R. King's style of writing. You will be pleasantly surprised.
