I plan to start the Janet Evanovich series this year too - I have heard lots of good things. What did you think of them?

They're really good. I gave most of them a 4 with a couple getting a 5. However, I wouldn't bother with the Between the Numbers series. Visions of Sugar Plums adds supernatural elements to an otherwise great mystery series. I'm good with supernatural, but it doesn't work when you're already emotionally invested in a series that hasn't had anything supernatural 8 books in.

Janet Evanovich seems to follow a formula, but it doesn't get old even by the 16th book. The characters are lovable, and I especially like Stephanie. She's inept as a bounty hunter. Most humorous books will make me smile, but these had me laughing until I cried.

She has two love interests, but I can't decide between them. I like them both. =)

Let me know if you like reading these books too.

I can't believe you are at 27 already!! Congratz

I read The Fall too. I can't wait for book 3 to come out.

I can't wait either. Have you heard a date for the third book yet?

I think the third book is coming out in March.

I haven't looked into when it's coming out. But I'm ready for it now. :P

Wow, that's soon!

Thanks for the heads up.
