(Not) Judging Books by Their Covers

Self discovery, shmelf discovery. This is my reading adventure through the library, pure and simple.

Plum Lucky by Janet Evanovich

   Okay, I love the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Plum Lucky is one of her Between the Numbers novels. It is the first Between book that I've read. I'm not sure how much I liked it. I felt the same way about the Sookie Stackhouse short story collection A Touch of Dead; I really like the characters and the stories, but there just wasn't enough in the book. 
   Plum Lucky felt too abbreviated. The whole time I was reading I was waiting for the story to happen. I think, had this been my first introduction to Stephanie Plum, the story might have whet my appetite to get to know her better. We'll see. There are other Between the Numbers novels that I have yet to read. When I get to the "E" section in the library, we'll find out if they have them.

Favorite Quotes:

"It's usually when I'm in the shower that I think of things spiritual and mystical and wonder about the unknown. Like is there life after death? And just what, exactly, is collagen? And suppose Wonder Woman actually exists. If she was discreet, you might not know, right?"

"Fortunately, since I was born and raised in Trenton, I'm good at selecting bimbo clothes."

"For the second time, people scurried for the money like roaches on pie."

Overall Opinion:

I really like Stephanie Plum, and because of that, I'm holding my nose at what was missing here.
