Blogs I check out

On the righthand side of the screen I began a list of my friends' blogs. Check them out if you get a chance. Of course I'll be adding more soon.
Not a lot going on here today. Emma has a playdate with her oldest friend Margaret. They've known each other since Emma was about 4 days old, so Margaret would have been 10 days old. They love each other! So Jake & I will hang out here and clean the house (ok, so I'll do the cleaning). Life has been pretty uneventful here lately.
And I read 2 of Jennifer Crusie's novels, "Tell Me Lies" and "Welcome to Temptation." Two excellent reads! I'll start the next one, "Fast Women," either today or tomorrow. And thanks, Alison, for the recommendations. I'll need someone new to read within the next few weeks! Any other recommendations are greatly appreciated.

A New Favorite???

In my downtime between Plum novels I have had to find other authors that live up to Janet Evanovich's witty style. So, this week I read Judy Blume's "Summer Sisters," Jennifer Crusie's "Tell Me Lies," oh, and a couple of JE's original romance novels. I have to say that Jennifer Crusie is definitely coming in a close second for my new favorite author award. Her style is very similar to JE's and the plots are exciting, funny, racy, & suspenseful (everything I look for in a good book these days). Although Judy Blume's "adult" novels are racy as well. "Wifey" was very good & I really enjoyed "Summer Sisters." Why did it take me so long to rediscover the library?

I'm Almost Done (And Then Some)

Well I finally acquired book #13 of the Stephanie Plum series today at the library. I'm sure I'll finish it tomorrow with the impending snowstorm looming over us. Then all I have left to read is the 3rd between-the-numbers novel, Plum Lucky. Unfortunately, the library doesn't have it yet & I can't justify buying in when it will only take about 90 minutes to read.
I also read the 2 novels in Janet Evanovich's other mystery/suspense/romance series about a woman named Alex Barnaby & a NASCAR driver named Sam Hooker. Also very good reads. I highly recommend anything by Janet Evanovich.
Maybe now that I'm just about done reading these books for a while I can start sewing again. I think I owe a few people purses & wallets & then I'd like to get several more made to start selling. If anyone's interested please let me know.
