Yes I was not supposed to enter the library, but had to go and say bye to the girl I had worked with, and of course I had to borrow a book. And then I found out that Finger Lickin' 15 could be found and rushed to the other library at once ;)
Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet EvanovichStephanie Plum is working overtime tracking felons for the bonds office at night and snooping for security expert Carlos Manoso, A.K.A. Ranger, during the day. Can Stephanie hunt down two killers, a traitor, five skips, keep her grandmother out of the sauce, solve Ranger’s problems and not jump his bones?
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
An old woman tells of her relationship with her "old-same," their arranged marriages, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood—until a terrible misunderstanding written on their secret fan threatens to tear them apart. With the detail and emotional resonance of Memoirs of a Geisha , Snow Flower and the Secret Fan delves into one of the most mysterious and treasured relationships of all time—female friendship.
The Little Giant of Aberdeen County by Tiffany Baker
When Truly Plaice's mother was pregnant, the town of Aberdeen joined together in betting how recordbreakingly huge the baby boy would ultimately be. The girl who proved to be Truly paid the price of her enormity; her father blamed her for her mother's death in childbirth, and was totally ill equipped to raise either this giant child or her polar opposite sister Serena Jane, the epitome of femine perfection
Almost finished with the Plum novel :)















Nice Loot :) I have only read a couple of Evanovitch...I should go back to her.
ReplyDeleteGreat books! I have the Evanovich in my TBR, but first I have to read #14!

I should stay out of the library too, but I don't feel so bad if you went too. I have the Lisa See one at the moment too from the library.
ReplyDeleteYou picked up some awesome books!!! The only one I haven't read is Little Giant and I seriously want to read that one some time!! Enjoy those great choices!!!

I have almost finished it already, I had to read it even though I was really busy ;)
Marg,
Great to hear, I sure hope I will enjoy it too then.
Lea,
Yes I am a bit of Evanovich addict, you sure know me ;)
Vivienne,
Lol, yes we really should stay out, but it's just too hard. I have seen her other books around so I can't wait to start my See novel
Staci,
I know, you should have seen me when I got F15, I would have done a little happy dance right there. I am very happy with my loot
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and The Little Giant of Aberdeen County are on my tbr list! Looking forward to your reviews!
ReplyDeleteLove all the covers! I really enjoyed Snow Flower when I read it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my... Blodeuedd... your selections always me a little jealous... I so wish my library had a better selection!!
ReplyDeleteBut I am so glad for you that you are able to "borrow" these books!!!
I hope you had a great day and have a wonderful tomorrow!
Nice loot! I've always wanted to read the Stephanie Plum series... especially after learning it takes place where I live. I believe my library actually has that series, too! Maybe for next Library Loot day. :)
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteI have sue seen them around so had to pick them up at once and see if they are any good :)
Eva,
Nice to hear, I am sure I will too then.
Cecile,
Jealous of me, wow, perhaps we do have a good library. At least with some books, and then again I have two big ones nearby. The City one and then the one the countryside one. Do love them both.
Have a great day too Cecile!
Christine,
Read, read! :D
I love this series, so funny, once I had pneumonia (did not know it then) and I started laughing, and then coughing for 20 minutes. They are hazardous to your health lol
Enjoy your Stephanie Plum novel! I borrowed book number three in the series on the library on Tuesday. I love this series!!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me laugh out lound and if I'm down Stephanie sure knows how to cheer me up LOL
Snowflower is one of my favorite heart-wrenching reads!
ReplyDeleteWow-you got some good ones. I still haven't read Finger Lickin' Fifteen-probably won't for a while so I look forward to your thoughts on it. Little Giant is a fantastic book though! I read it a while back and loved it. I'm curious as to what you'll think about it.
ReplyDeleteLadybug,
ReplyDeleteI looove it too :D Such a fun series, makes me laugh like crazy. though this one didn't, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
Stephanie is the best, how I wish for a movie, but they could never do it justice.
Zeek,
Heart wrenching, really, now that sounds great!
I'll be interested to see what you'll think of Lisa See's book. I wasn't particularly crazy about it but I know that majority of readers loved it.
ReplyDeleteOut of the three, the one that looks most intriguing to me, because of comparisons to Memoirs of a Geisha, which I also want to read, is Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. Not that the other ones don't look good, but that one looks especially good.
ReplyDeleteLilly,
ReplyDeleteHm so you didn't like it, well if you haven't seen a review by December, then I didn't read it. Nowadays I only read those I want to read, or can at least think are ok.
Just,
I liked that comparison, I sure hope it can live up to it. I have hopes for the book, but you never know
Bah! I shouldn't have read your description of Finger Lickin' Fifteen. She gets together with Ranger? Nooo!!!!
ReplyDeleteAllison,
ReplyDeleteNah, she just stays over cos she helps him :)
I loved Little Giant, and have been hoping to read Snow Flower soon. I haven't read any of Janet Evanovich's books yet. Looks like a productive trip to the library! :)
ReplyDeleteAlyce,
ReplyDeleteNice to hear, I do remember everyone enjoying Little Giant´so I hope I will too.
Oh yes very productive
You're in for a treat with Little Giant. I really liked that book.
