Diana Gabaldon

Start with Outlander and then keep going.

I’ve been re-reading them in between other books since Jane has been born and I’m on my 6th book of hers in a month.

I haven’t yet had the words “dinna fash” or “you’ll ken” come out of my mouth yet but it’s a good thing I’ve only got one book left or I’d be yelling “Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ” next time I burn dinner.

Would I recommend them? Having just stared blankly at the computer screen for a many minitues I have no tidy way to sum up the books nor why exactly I’d recommend them.

I think I’m in a Jamie and Claire induced stuper… and now I have to go read what happens next – even though I’ve read this one twice before.

Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich

This is the sixteenth book in a series and I think there is some fun, familiar comfort in reading a book like that.

You know the characters – inept bounty hunters, police men, sexy capable men in black, bad guys and Grandma Mauzer.

You know the general theme of things- inept bounty hunters will mess up trying to get bad guys, sexy capable men in black will help bail them out, police will be involved, Grandma Mauzer will cause a scene in a funeral home, cars will get ruined, donuts and fried chicken will be consumed.

Then there are a few surprises – alligators, hobbits, lucky bottles.

Really how could you go wrong?

Would I recommend it? Yes, not the best of the 16 (My personal favorites are 10 & 12) but good!

P.S. These make the best adult read aloud books !
