Will and I recently finished the Henry Huggins series and I think we'll soon start the Ramona ones because he found her so funny in the Henry books. :)Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-33893082241592180112010-04-09T14:31:39.176-04:002010-04-09T14:31:39.176-04:00I love the Stephanie Plum books for fun reading, a...I love the Stephanie Plum books for fun reading, although admittedly the first couple of books were the best.<br /><br />Saw the Ramona and Beezus trailer as well, it makes me want to give the books a go :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-18526563794559747522010-04-09T13:53:29.192-04:002010-04-09T13:53:29.192-04:00I liked Tsunami Blue, it's one of those post-a...I liked Tsunami Blue, it's one of those post-apocalyptic books and the feel is there.

I will let you know my thoughts on Gods ...Hilcia...<br />I will let you know my thoughts on <i>Gods in Alabama</i>. If I don't write a review, I'll at least email you my thoughts. The same goes for the photography book! <br /><br />Christy ... <br />Thanks for visiting! Another reader who has had <i>Gods in Alabama</i> on their radar. I'll have to share my thoughts when I'm done. <br /><br />Kwana...<br />You're welcome. Enjoy your new home on the 'net! Everything looks great. <br /><br />My library has three books by Virginia Deberry and Donna Grant, but not the one you're reading. <i>My library has From the Tree, Better Than I Know Myself</i> and <i>What Doesn't Kill You</i>. Can you recommend one of these? <br /><br />And YAY! I'm a winner! Thank you! :D<br /><br />Bybee...<br />Hi! Thanks for visiting! :)<br />I hope the Ramona movie is done well, too. It's such a cute series that's so close to so many readers' hearts. <br /><br />Leslie...<br />Oh! Another fan of Deanna Raybourn Lady Grey series. It's on my list of series to read! I promise! <br /><br />I'd be curious to hear what you think of the Stephanie Plum series. And here I thought I was the only one left who hadn't read the books! LOL.<br /><br />Jill...<br />Thanks for the recommending <i>Between Georgia</i> by Joshilyn Jackson! I'll certainly look into it if I enjoy <i>Gods in Alabama</i>. <br /><br />Lolly...<br />Thank you for visiting me! :D<br />Another Stephanie Plum fan! I have to admit it is comforting to know she's giving Jersey Girls a good name. She is, right? LOL! ;) <br /><br /><br />Eva...<br />I'm looking forward to <i>Gods in Alabama</i> even more now that I see so many readers have read it or want to read it!<br /><br />Heather... <br />Hi! Thanks for stopping by to check out my loot! <br /><i>Another</i> Plum fan! I hope the books keep me interested enough that I'm eventually waiting for the next release like you! <br /><br />My youngest has outgrown the Ramona books too as she's just started reading some YA, but I love that she's a rereader and goes back to zip through her favorites like these. <br /> <br /><br />nath...<br />I'm not planning on trying out those delicious looking raspberry pistachio tartlets because I'm on that $&^% diet!!! LOL!<br /><br />samantha...<br />Thanks for recommending <i>The Girl Who Stopped Swimming</i>! I'll keep that in mind!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-35398934908290512392010-04-09T10:41:52.949-04:002010-04-09T10:41:52.949-04:00Thanks for taking the time to check out my latest ...Thanks for taking the time to check out my latest library loot, everyone! <br /><br />Linda...<br />I hope you get to it soon, too!<br /><br />Anna...<br />It's amazing how long the Ramona books have been popular, isn't it? Did you post your library loot?<br /><br />Michelle...<br />The trailer looks <i>really</i> cute! I almost included it in my post but Selena Gomez introduces the trailer and even though I have nothing against the young star, it was just a tad too sugary for me. LOL. <br /><br />As for Stephanie Plum, I think like you, I'm more in Izzy Spellman's camp. <br /><br /><br />Patti...<br />That is a funny story about those first apple bites! It's true though, isn't it? My daughter read most of the Ramona books between 9 and 10 years old, I think. They're sweet books. She rereads them now at age 11. What a big girl. ;) <br /><br />Brandy...<br />I'll let you know what I think of the photography book. I skimmed through it, but have to spend some time actually reading whole sections to get a better feel for it. What a great idea to take a digital photography class locally like that!<br /><br />How was Tsunami Blue? I keep seeing that title around. <br /><br />Cat...<br />Thank goodness I can keep track of the library books I have out online, otherwise I'd probably lose track of them all in my house and always forget to return at least one of them! <br /><br />Lea...<br />Gotta love the books "for Dummies!" We should write one titled "Managing your TBR for Dummies." But I guess then we'd have to actually know how to manage our TBRs... ;p<br /><br />Venus Vaughn...<br />That's an interesting perspective on the strength of the Stephanie Plum stories throughout the series. I'll keep reading them and see how it goes. You're not the first one to mention that the author ran out of verve for the series along the way... that she was writing because the readers wanted more stories, not because she actually had more stories. Interesting. They sure are popular, though.<br /><br />Dru...<br />Yes there is going to be a Ramona movie. It looks so cute, too! You can see the trailer <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsspoW7rSR4&channel=selgomez" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>.<br /><br />Do you recommend the Gourmet Girls mysteries? I've recently started reading cozy mysteries and am open to suggestions.<br /><br />I'm waiting for two books on hold at my library, too. I hope they come in soon. Not that I don't already have a TON to read!<br /><br />orannia...<br />Of course you may be bold and suggest books to me! Please do! It just so happens my library has your recommendation. I put it on my library loot list. Thanks! <br /><br />Yay! for being back on the In Death train! You're nearly caught up!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-29857696219020244732010-04-08T20:05:22.735-04:002010-04-08T20:05:22.735-04:00I read and enjoyed Gods in Alabama awhile back.

Own them all, but 1 - 6 were her best efforts, IMO. She sort of lost focus in 7 thru 12 when, IMO, she started writing for the readers instead of for the benefit of the stories and they got ultra-fluffy for a while. <br /> <br />In 14 and 15 I feel like she's gone back to writing for the series instead of for the fans, and the books have been tighter and cleaner, but not as dense as the original six books. <br /> <br />Then again, maybe you'll prefer her fluffy style more and 7-12 will be a breeze for you :) <br />Either way, I hope you enjoy them more than you are now.Venus Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948376896570994277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-3851082924931594422010-04-07T19:03:51.615-04:002010-04-07T19:03:51.615-04:00Nice eclectic choice of books there Christine!
