Oh, and titles...I'm re-reading "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin deBecker; "Treason" by Ann Coulter, which is way deeper than you might think; "Whoever Fights Monsters" by Robert Ressler; "Friday's Child" by Georgette Heyer; and "Big Trouble" by Dave Barry. Oh, and the Bible. On account of I'm holy like that. :supremepiouslysmugface:

YEA!!! Mother and I were just talking about that at supper, and we wondered when the next one would be out. I wonder if she's tired of writing them? I'm sure not tired of reading them. Her characters are stupendously awesome. The only person whose characters match hers are Dave Barry's. His two books "Big Trouble" and "Tricky Business" are the funniest things I have ever read. And I see he has a new one coming out in January - "Insane City"...woo hoo!!! He and Evanovich would be CLASSIC writing together. That would be a total hoot.

Our book club spent one summer reading the Bubbles Yablonsky series by Sarah Strohmeyer. We all enjoyed it because it was light, funny, and the girl was always in trouble!mei lan said:
Bubbles is a high-energy beautician-cum-rookie-reporter. She is a divorced single mom, self-described as a "Polish-Lithuanian Barbie doll in Lehigh, Pennsylvania," a town based loosely on Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She appears as a kind of hybrid between Marilyn Monroe and Columbo.
She has an ex-husband, "Dan the Man", and a daughter, Jane, a rebellious teenager with Kool-Aid colored hair and black lipstick. Bubbles has a degree in journalism and is a freelance reporter for the local newspaper, The Lehigh News-Times.
The series covers adventures and misadventures with Bubbles and other characters - Steve Stiletto (a photojournalist and Mel Gibson look-a-like), Lulu Yablonsky (Bubbles's mother), Genevieve (a gun-toting septuagenarian), Sandy (her best friend and salon owner), and Lorena Ludwig (a photographer with The News-Times with anger management issues).
The last one of the series (6 books) was a bit of a let down, but I think I will also feel that way if Plum comes to an end.
