Thanks to Janet Evanovich I Can Laugh Out Loud!

I live, as many of us do, in a high stress world. My career is stressful, being a single parent is stressful, and my world can be tough. I need to get away from it all and I can do that when I pick up a novel written by Janet Evanovich! She pens the Stephanie Plum series and I have every book in the series. Ms. Evanovich writes laugh-out-loud plots and scenes designed to keep the reader wanting more…and we do! Her characters are a delightful mix of outrageous yet human. Her descriptions of characters, scenes, and plots make the reader feel as if they are in her stories. Family is a common thread woven with loyal friends, a sprinkling of (laughable) bad guys, and a sugar coating of male/female intriguing interaction.

Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter with Jersey attitude. Her mother worries, her grandmother likes to view dead bodies, and her niece thinks she’s a horse. Stephanie’s cars are destroyed with everything from a garbage truck explosion to a big bunny setting one on fire. These books are just funny! Yet, somehow her characters are believable and her descriptions of Friday night dinner at Stephanie’s parent’s house make the reader feel like she could reach out and taste the roast chicken. The men in her life are deliciously gorgeous and intriguing.

Now, I can be intellectual. And I can be political. I can even be philosophical. Even more, I can find novelists to reflect my many moods. But Janet Evanovich always, always lightens my load, makes me laugh, and brings me to a positive place that I can’t always find in my real world. She is talented, she is gifted, and her books are always just plan good. She is my favorite novelist and if you need to laugh or want an instant mood lifter, I recommend starting with One For The Money..then keep on going!
