Anne at Modern Mrs. Darcy is hosting a “Twitterature
link-up,” so I’m giving it a try. I’m not a tweeter and I learned that trying
to write a review in 140 characters is trickier than a full length one! And yes, I cheated a little with bonus comments in parentheses. I'm working on concise!
Notorious Nineteen
by Janet Evanovich. 3.5 stars
Fiery, fast, fun Jersey girl/bounty hunter finds trouble
everywhere aided by former ho Lula and crazy Grandma. Two hunks thrown in for
kicks.
(If you’ve read the others in the Stephanie Plum series,
you’ll know just what this is about; if you haven’t you should start with One
for the Money!)
No Place Like Home
by Mary Higgins Clark. 4 stars
Pretty girl with a past has it thrown in her face then faces
danger herself. Handsome detective helps her overcome.
(I just can’t give up MHC, but I realize that this summary
can be copied for most of her other books, right?)
When in Doubt, Add
Butter by Beth Harbison. 4 stars
Private chef nurtures clients, vows not to marry. But life
changes things. Clients are strange, kind, unexpected. Is her psychic client
right?
(Fun author I happened upon—I liked her writing style!)
A Single Thread
by Marie Bostwick. 4.5 stars
Divorce. Cross-country move. New quilt shop. Cancer. Evelyn
Dixon experiences all of this and somehow makes it through with help from new
friends.
(This is book 1 in a series that I just found. I’ve already
requested book 2!)
Any of these sound good to you? What are you reading?
Ha! My grandma loves Mary Higgins Clarks books, and that's the generic summary she's given me many a time :) I still have yet to read one for myself...
ReplyDeleteWhen in doubt sounds interesting. You've done well with your twitter style here. I'm having so much trouble trying to get into Tweets! I just don't think I'm really cut out for twitter.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed! "A Single Thread" sounds interesting.
