Book Reading.......

[disneydream06]

Just wrapped up book No. 53.
I read "Turbo Twenty-Three" by Janet Evanovich.
It's the newest entry in the Stephanie Plum series. Once again Stephanie is helping the super sexy Ranger with a case, security at an ice cream plant. Her and Lula find a dead body that had been turned into an ice cream bar and stuffed in the back of a semi delivering ice cream. Then the loading doc foreman is frozen to death in the factory freezer. Stephanie goes under cover as the clown mascot of the company to deliver ice cream. After stopping at deli for something to eat, the ice cream truck gets blown up.
And to make this book great for me, Stephanie and Ranger fly down to Disney World to find the factory owner. After finding him, they spend some time at the park, and then she throws caution to the wind and has a wild night at the hotel with Ranger. So much for her kind of engagement to be engaged to hottie police detective Morelli. :o :o :o

That really must be your kind of book if they go to Disney World! Were you surprised? I think your goal for the year was 52 - if so Congratulations for surpassing your goal :-) :-) Woohoo!!!!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)
They talked about the wife being in Disney World, but then all of sudden they were heading down there, so it was a fun surprise. :)
My goal was 50, so shockingly I passed that. :o
If I am really lucky, I might squeeze one more in. :o

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

So how many will your goal be next year?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I will hopefully get 40. lol..........

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

I thought you would say 65 at least ;-)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I really don't expect to break this record. :o

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

Well, it is a pretty good record.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I have a couple of LJ friends that are over 100 for the year. :o :o :o

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

Wow! I am probably about where you are, I can't imagine 100 :-o

[owlstorm_9]

figured you'd appreciate the Disney connection.

*wants ice cream now....

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

A good ice cream bar. :)

I wish I had a Ranger to spend time at Disney with. hehehe...

[owlstorm_9]

I thought you were more the Morelli type? hmm....

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I would like to sandwich them. HeHeHe.........

[owlstorm_9]

tis a shame the slices of "bread" don't like each other that much...

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

No complaints here. HEHEHE........

[owlstorm_9]

Stuck in the middle to keep them separated...woe is you...NOT!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Sounds like Heaven to me. :)

[seaivy.livejournal.com]

LOL now i don't have to read it
i think i missed 22 -
maybe catch up time in the cold January days
keep warm - read a book!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a perfect time to read. :)

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

I just read Turbo Twenty-Three, too.

I can't decide which of her men I would like more. I think I'm probably a Morelli man! :)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I think I would have to make a sandwich.
How could you choose? :o

[man-of-snows.livejournal.com]

I love how reasonable these plots are to read and then we try to type them out to explain them to others! :)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

The one thing I worry about when talking about the books I read is I don't want to give away too much story just in case somebody decides they want to read the book. :o

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

2 more to go!!

come on!! You can do this!!!!!!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I will be lucky to get one more in before the year's end. :p

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

nooooooooooooooo you can not end with a 4 in the end!

4 is a bad number!!!!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Then I better stop at 53, because I will never get 2 more done. :o

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL it's all up to you Jon

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

LOL...................

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

[thespian15.livejournal.com]
