Friday Reads!

As I sit down to write this morning, I'm beginning to realize that I forgot to pick a #fridayreads for last week!  As I recall, I was preparing for root canal #2 this year, and my head just wasn't on straight with that. 

And it's funny because my pick for the week had less to do with finding a great book, and more to do with how to comfort myself.  Last Friday's pick was Sizzlin' Sixteen by Janet Evanovich.  I picked it because it's familiar and easy.  I know the characters.  I know the general flow of the books.  I've studied her writing for so long, I even can figure out where she is going by the end. 

Janet's writing is fast-paced, uncomplicated, and most of all, funny.  I picked this book because I wanted to laugh, and she didn't disappoint.  If you haven't read her stuff before, you have to start with One for the Money.  The beginning of the series is so fresh, and you simply can't help but fall in love with all of her characters. 

This week's pick comes to me by way of Linda.  I have to admit that I have already started it and, while I have a feeling I know how it will all end, I am enjoying the ride very much. 

Beautiful writing? Check
Great plot? check
Great characters with room to grow? check
A handsome love interest?  check

Reading this is like having a tall glass of lemonade on a really hot day.  It's refreshing, enjoyable, and just what is needed.  Now if we could add some vodka to that lemonade, it would be downright fabulous!

My favorite part about this book is that it's her second version of this book.  After geting the rights back from her first publication, she revised it to make it more enjoyable for the reader. 

Love that!

I hope you enjoy it too!
