The wonderful world of Plum

[psubrat]

I just spent the last ten days in Trenton, NJ with Stephanie Plum, Joe Morelli, Ranger, Grandma Mazur, Lula and Bob. What a wonderful little world Janet Evanovich has created with her novels. I read all 14 books and the 3 holiday novellas -- for the second time. The first 11 books and Visions of Sugar Plums were read right after Boo was born so

I liked Thirteen because Morelli had to babysit Dickie. It just made me giggle that the current boyfriend had to babysit the ex-husband -- plus he couldn't tell Steph about it. I thought maybe she would be more pissed off at Joe than she was, but maybe she's just used to Joe having to keep his work from her.

Although I've been a hard-core ranger fan I think Fourteen tipped me to the Morelli side. He was adorable in this.

YAY! He really was adorable in Fourteen. I think he's resigned himself to the fact that loving Stephanie comes with weirdness. I really hope that he's coming closer to proposing to Steph and that she's coming closer to accepting. I know Janet has said she doesn't want to tie Steph down yet, but that she'll eventually end up with Joe (that was a while ago before she started trying to play mysterious -- she has said more recently that she knows who Steph is going to wind up with).

I think Ranger is the bad boy that we all secretly wish we had.

I haven't seen "In Plain Sight" but I've heard good things about it. Over on Janet's site she was asked if IPS was a take off on the Plum books, but she said it wasn't. Like I said, Tri-Star needs to get off their asses and either sign away the rights or do something with them. I'd love for it to be a TV series because I think there's so much there to sustain a series instead of one shot movies.
